hey guys havin a bit of a problem with the V..

basically my battery has stopped charging at the moment. i believe its the alternator or voltage regulater. the weird thing is though that the battery indicater on the instrument panel comes on when i do start the car which is what led me to believe it was the alternator but it goes off after about a minute of driving. however the battery does eventually die on me. anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? also anywhere worth bringing the car to to get it checked & repaired?

cheers guys

is it new battery, or is it the original one that comes with the car from Japan?

sitting in the auction yard and in the dock over a few months could easily killed the battery.

but best to find out what verdict it is, is to bring it to battery shop and have them tested whether your system is charging, and if the battery is healty.

def not the battery.. it is the old one but ive charged it at home on the powerpoint it it receives a full charge everytime.. + already tested the battt with voltmeter while the car was running and confirmed its receiving no charge.. + the car actually died on me whilst driving beacuse the battery had insufficient juice to keep going.. fortunately it was late and no may cars around.. but i basically rolled to a stop

that's your alternator is gone then.

As it sort off happen to me before, but the battery light stays one not like yours gone off after driving. Then after the battery juice ran out my car just couldn't keep moving.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
