omg, i thought this was only happening to me, got a 34 gtt, and the battery has carked it (although recently, its been better than before). i was having a power leak for a while. i get home from work at 6pm, and i start the car in the morning at about 8.30am. atm, the charge when i turn the key is about 11.4v, a while back, i would reach like 10, and sometimes under. sometimes, i would just barely start the car. leaving it for a couple days not driven will need a jump start. my prev battery was from nrma, and they replaced it with another one about 2 months ago. the old one was completely funked.

as in what type are they??

bonnet pin - find it and disconnect it.

hey chris

i think they are called ultrasonice or sumthing. pls see attached pics:

ok it's getting worst now. even if i don't arm the car the alarm still goes off randomly. my motion sensors in the car kicks in after a minute without arming so i'm not sure if it's the bonnet or the sensors now

Mine has a similar issue, if I don't drive it for more than 6 days the battery goes flat... it's f**king annoying. Secondary alarm goes off until I get enough charge to disarm it and then jump start. Issue was temporarily resolved when I got a new battery under warranty, but within a month the problem returned.

Had the alternator checked at last service and all checked out ok.

I'm inclined to think it's these shitty supercharge batteries (which I didn't fit to the car)... luckily they have a 36 month warranty.

apparently my previous installer installed the ultrasonic sensors at the spot where rain water will run thru in the car (what at tool!!) - wasn't the bonnet sensor at all.

all it needs is a sensor replacement from autowatch

highly recommend will from alberts myaree who sorted out this problem for me for any alarm jobs.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
