Battery, alternator or something else!

hey guys, today i was driving my car and noticed the rev tacho not moving at all, just stuck on 0rpm. then when i started the car later the std boost gauge, oil pressure and water temp were all on zero... then as i drove on further the elec windows wouldnt go and then the power steering started to die...

my SAFC II still works and only reads 10volts.

is it simply a flat battery (it is a couple of years old now) or would it be the alternator? its just weird how things slowl began to stop functioning...

any ideas?

thanks!

Ben

oh man what a nighmare today was! spend bloody hours on it!

replaced the alternator, and the battery and the thing still had the same symptoms...

so after hours of fitting and refitting alternators and putting the cooler piping back in place i got the multi meter out, and checked each fuse under the dash, one of them was dead... replaced it and now everything works fine!

finished fitting the catch can too - with sexy braided lines

anyway my car is functioning 100% and purring like a putty cat!

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
