hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue before. Currently the Dash clock functions correctly, except the backlight no longer comes on when i turn my head lights on, all other dash lights and the lights on my stereo turn on. The stereo it self no longer turns on, seems to be no power to it (stock stereo) When i try to use my windscreen wipers they just don't budge hehe, could make driving in the rain interesting :rofl: lucky it's summer i guess... Little more info, i have an R32 gtst, i have checked the fuses, drivers side dash and under bonnet (not aware of any other fuses) I have recently tapped a profec B into the system but this is off the turbo timer loom, i also noticed this problem started before i hooked the profec b up.

Not too sure if this is the appropriate section to be posting in but if anyone can help me out that'd be great.

Cheers

George

still sounds like a fuse. pull and inspect every fuse.

Yep did that, pulled every fuse i know of and they all looked fine visually. This problem used to occur intermittently and then it worked perfectly for about 9 months, i didn't change anything as far as i can remember. Is it worthwhile changing some of the fuses related to the stereo etc?

well i'm baffled, didn't change anything over the weekend (except went drifting at an event) on the way home, thought i really should clean my window, tried squirting the windscreen wipers and low and behold they worked :D got home turned car off cleaned up a bit. Then moved the car to give it a quick wash over and the wipers were broken again ;) does this just sound like a loose cable/bad join to anyone else?

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
