hey guys

i'm searched many forums but couldnt find a solution to my problem..lemme start with the whole story..I drive an R34 GTT..

my boost guage metre's supply and ground wire went loose and touched each other and caused a spark which lead to my dash board light and tail light fuse gone. since it happened on a night and i didnt wanna be driving without taillights i replaced the spoilt fuse with my horn fuse..since then my battery started overcharging to more than 15v..noticed it 2 days later..after checkin the forums found out that if u remove the horn fuse for some reason the alternator wil overcharge the battery..so i got a new fuse for the horn and the overcharging stopped..alternator chargin the battery at 14 something now..

but since then my clock always reset to 1am and trip meter resets to 0 everytime i start the car..

central locking doesnt work anymore, cabin lights and ignition key lights doesnt come on when i open the car,

warning lbeep when i leave the lights on or the keys on ignition doesnt work anymore,

the lights of my boost meter doesnt work anymore but boost is readin correctly

and lastly my front defogger keep blinking for 15 seconds and makes some wierd noices until it goes off...

i've checked all fuses from the engine bay and the drivers side...is there another fuse box hidden anywhere/??? what do u think may have caused all this problems/?? do u guys think wires from the battery got melted coz of the overcharging?? or the alternator or battery itself has to checked or replaced or whatever??? car starts normally so battery seems alright..pls guys any help would be appreciated..

cheers

Jai

Try disconnecting the battery, turn the ignition on and use your brake or headlights, then reconnect the battery and see what happens??

Sounds like you should have an error code, but a battery reset will likely work OK.

Probably best to take it to a nissan mechanic, one of the Skyline ones preferably, but others on SAU may be able to help if you want to wait?

does anyone of mechanics in south east melbourne specialised in skylines????

I'm not sure if this will work....

Ensure all the fuses are at the correct ratings... you may have to check each fuse one at a time.

Not sure if Nissan's use a "body control module" (like the Holden Commodore's), which control door locks etc... - It could possibly be fried from the over charging....

There could be another short in the system somewhere - Probably best bring it to an auto elec first rather than a mech, as this issue seems electrical.

So, the clock resets to 1 when you switch the engine off (key at ACC)? Or the clock / trip resets after you start the engine?

I would suggest that the clock and trip meter have lost the battery backup power - perhaps an in-line fuse has blown.

hey checked all fuses earlier..its all at the correct ratings...btw what's the body control module? and hey my clock/ trip resets after i start the engine and not when i switch off the engine with the key at ACC... even i reckon that the battery backup power has been lost...but where is it if its just a fuse???

Hi every1,

I had this issue today. Thought i'd post the fix as a reference as this thread is the first thing that came up in google when i searched.

Issue can be fixed by changing the 10A bat fuse in the drivers side interior fuse box. If u have this issue chances are its either blown or maybe even missing (as it was in my case).

Diagram of the fuse box (with english translation sticker beside it) is attached.

Hopefully this will help some1 one day.

Thanx.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
