R32 Gtr Electrical Problems

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.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
