Hey just gonna chase up something that Yaah31 mentioned, i have a physically small battery which has quite high CCA, but he said my problem may have something to do with that, as the battery was designed for starting the car and not running large sound systems and a lot of electrics like my car does. Would anyone be able to clarify this for me? I don't have a huge sound system, but obviously two amps, a sub and six aftermarket speakers is a little bigger than factory so it may be affecting things?

Cheers for any help

wrong, you can test your battery with a multimetre, just throw the metre accross it and start it, check the voltage it drops to, if you wonna check amps make sure you connect the multimetre in series with the battery or you you could seriously damage the metre/yourself

Been away for a while, ref my comment "testing battery with multimeter", I think you will find that you are using your meter to monitor batt/alt performance characteristics under those load-no load conditions outlined above. Is all & fine.

But if you go down the second current path outlined above (which is what I was alluding to in the first place) you will surely test your meter, unless you use a serious current shunt or have a meter capable of handling 300+amps dc sustained (or whatever the max is that the batt is rated to deliver +?x% safety margin). Shoulda made it clearer. Never mind you get the idea. :)

look int it hey martin see if anyone one else has that same battery as u in the same type of car , and yea that earth cable i still thinks need replacing , yea smaller the battery the least it will hold of electrical power , like a kids toy , u dont see them with a 12 or 6v battery just like 'aa' or 'aaa' which is just enough to run it , but yea martin if u get me 2x cable lugs the size of ur terminal post and the size of that earth point and how long it is , i got the cable at work so yea i can make it for ya XD

Where do i get those lugs from bro?

Also, is there any way i can like extend the bit of the connection where you attach things like amp power cables and things? Ive got so many things on there that the nuts hardly go back on, its dodge :)

Ive notice r34 batteries to be alot bigger than the r33's...

Mine is a tiny little thing that sits in the boot... and its still the Nissan genunie battery from japan...!! Still works great ! that thing seems to never die (Touch wood)...

I highly doubt its got to do with the size of ur battery, unless its under charged... Cause you've had this car for awhile and its been running ok since you bought it.

Probably a earth somewhere like your friend suggested

      Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.

      The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.

      Belt flex under throttle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
