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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
