Hi all,

Had a flat battery this morning. I tried to jump start and couldn't. I then tried to swap battery but think I may have done some damage as I saw a biggger spark then normal. Changed the battery back and now when I try to jump start I don't get anything.

This morning it was just a flat battery, ie central locking work, battery just couldn't turn the car over. Now it's got no power, no horn, no central locking etc.

Checked fuses, only electrics 10a is out. Could that be it?

Can anyone help?

hang on... u guys mean to say that the bit of cable that runs from the positive battery pole into the fuse block is a fuse????

isnt it just a large gauge piece of cable that takes the positive from the battery to one side of the fuses and relays??

i have replaced this bit of cable twice when installing battery isolators and in no way did it look like a 'fuse'.

it looked to be exactly the same as the earth strap on the other side of the battery... just a piece of cable!!!

nope not sorted yet...

duncan are you refering to the boot or bonnet?

really just starting with this testing electrics....but if i put a multimeter on both sides of the fuse on either end of the fusable link with it connected....and it reads zero....does that mean its live or busted?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
