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?

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
