hey guys,

I was connecting a horn to my R33 GTS, and i had it connected to a ciggarette lighter,the wires touched (i know i should have had them covered but too late now) and it blew a fuse. The fuse that blew was 15 amp and it was replaced with a 30amp.

i drove it for about an hour like that and the next day realised 30amp shouldnt be in there and swapped it for a 10amp. I also noticed that my clock was faded and wasnt getting any power. i tried to turn on my head unit and there is no power to the subs, the head unit or the clock.

My friend also noticed that everytime i turn on the car the clock re-sets (you can just see the numbers) and the air-con resets itself to 25'C. i checked all the fuses and they are all fine, and i checked that the head unit connections were all in place but there is nothing that appears to be wrong. Please any help would be great, i take listening to music for granted and i miss it!!! :)

Thanks guys in advance,

Mitch

There are too many possible problems...

1. Dead HU (more then likely, its dead anyway, cant tell by your description)

2. Fuses

3. controller and power boxes for AC, clock, etc

4. Melted wire (this is my bet, along with some other shit)

5. Rooted battery / altenator

6. rooted (electronic) internals here or there...

Thanks for your reply guys. i have checked all the fuses in the dash and in the engine bay, i just found out today there was a fuse box in the boot...but i was told if there is a blown fuse then there would be no electricity going through at all, which isnt the case...i can only just see the clock on both the head unit and the dash clock.

Ill go buy a a 15amp fuse tomorrow and see if that makes a difference. Would you guys rekon its worth taking to an auto electrician? Know of any good cheap ones on the coast that'll do the job for me?

Thanks again for your replies

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
