Ok so my girl was driving her stagea along the other night and whilst driving along she heard a click and everything cut out (engine,brakes,power steering, stereo, head lights etc) now it wont start and we have no accessorie lights, the parkers work but no head lights interior light works and so do the hazards, i have checked every fuse and they are all fine and i am hopeless with electrics so i am stumped on this one.

Any one that can help it would be much appreciated

It is a series 1 97 model rs four stagea

Have an auto electrician look at the imobiliser, sounds like it cut in and won't turn off.

hey dude cheers for the reply nina called the immobiliser ppl and apparently they have a safety mechanism so they cant cut in??? although the light for it is not flashing any more

there is a main relay and/or fuse in pretty much every car. have a look for that. might be affecting things.

i had a look at all of them and they looked fine , it is wierd that it cut everything out though??

Do you have dash lights?

Find the ECU and give it a whiff. If it smells like its fried the board, you might be up for another ECU.

Try plugging in another ECU anyway to see if it kicks back to life.

A mate of mine had a similar problem on his Nissan, except the car wouldn't start at all. He called in an auto sparky and the cause was dodgy connectors on the positive battery terminals.

Off topic, but I noticed you live in Tamborine Mountains. I'm tatking the Stagea for it's first camping trip up there this weekend. What temperature does it get down to over night? Am I going to freeze by nuts off?

if you manage to freeze em off can i have them to hang around my mirror, seems every one els has gone the fluffy dice and i dont like trends so i think a set of fluffy testicals will be awesome.

I have been caught this way myself. Even if the terminals appear tight it is a good idea to undo them, clean the battery posts and inside the clamps with emery tape or sandpaper and retighten. It may not be the answer but it won't take long.

this may sound dumb but have you tried to jups start it before it happend . my mate juped his car off mine and must of jumped it backwards . brought my car back and then i went to drive and had the same prob . it killed my altinator and drained all f#%k out of the battery . it just a thought as if your battery doesnt have enough power your immobiliser wont dissarm.

Haha, thanks for the replies guys :thumbsup:

I spotted a green RS4 up Mt Tamborine. Anyone of you guys?

That is me. I live here. Stag went to coast on tilt tray today to get Mrs 66 indescretion with concrete water tank fixed.

Will be very interesting to find out what is wrong with Peterman Stag.

My S2 has just started doing some strange things too. When idling if I give the high beams a flash everything stops for a second, motor stops, lights go out. no ignition lights. Sometimes when I apply the brakes while driving everything gives a flicker. Today I turn the key to start up and nothing happens at all. Try again a few seconds later and everything works normally. Does this sound like a bad connection on main fuse perhaps.

cheers Craig

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
