Hey all,

I have had what seems to be some pretty serious electrical problems with my R32 GTR after recently purchasing it.

OK so problem occured when I was just driving to work normally and my wipers just turned on at abnormally fast speeds without touching the wiper switch. After this I heard some clicking and noises under dash and almost all electrics stopped working. This was my dash, clock, stereo, wipers, all lights, blinkers, power windows etc. The only things I could see still working were electronic boost controller, turbo timer and power fc as car was still driving fine.

So I got it to the auto elec straight away and he has told me that the main problem was my alternator and about 10 blown fuses in the engine bay and interior fuse box. After replacing alternator and all blown fuses the auto elec has told me that clicking noises are still coming from below the dash and it is still blowing the power wdw, wiper and heater fan fuses, all others seem to be OK.

So I am really hoping someone on here can shed some light on the problem as my car is going on 2 weeks at auto elec (he claims he is a man down).

I was also hoping someone could provide me with or a link to a complete wiring diagram with fusebox circuits for a 1989 R32 GTR.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Thanks,

Mitch.

Hey,

Well the auto elec is on his way to getting my car sorted after finding many f*cked relays from the surge my alternator produced.

There are a couple of things I am chasing that I am hoping someone can help me with as the alternator surge fried them too.

Im after a door lock timer (so the auto elec called it) It has something to do with door locks and power windows. It has the numbers '2845189971' on it. It is an 8 pin relay that is located below the right kick panel.

If anyone has any ideas where I can get one of these or if there is an alternate relay to use please post up.

I am also after but not as urgently, a fan speed resistor located underneath the glovebox.

Please post up if you have any ideas as I wanna get my car back! :blink:

Cheers,

Mitch.

Hey,

Well I have located the parts needed for my car and have finally got my car back from the auto elec after 3 weeks.

BUT I am still having a coupla probs, judging by the interest in this thread I doubt I will get any feedback, but its worth a shot.

Basically my 4wd (have 2wd/4wd controller installed), Tacho (aftermarket impul full dash unit), clock (no biggie) and 3 gauges still arent working. Hopefully someone can give me some info on where to look to get these problems resolved, particularly 4wd and tacho.

I suppose first thing to try would be to remove aftermarket 4wd/2wd controller? How do I go about doing this? Tacho, clock and gauges i dunno where to start but any info is good!

Cheers,

Mitch.

Does anyone know what is connected to the "MAIN" fuse ? I swapped a RB25 in my R32 and even when I remove the key, something is still taking power. I removed the "MAIN" fuse and it stops.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
