Heres the deal my car has been in storage for more than a year...

Recently got it ready for the 21st anniversay cruise...

Went to drive it home from Storage and notice no Lights everywhere!!!!

I mean everywhere...

Such as no headlights, dash lights, reverse lights, brake lights aircon lights, radio lights, Also windows wipers/windows/and mirrors arent working im sure its something simple as its very rare for every fuse to just go...

Also the only thing that actually works on the dash is the fuel guage...

Speedo & revs dont work, indicators dont work hazards dont work, high beams dont work etc etc etc

Checked every fuse/connector plug in/behind dash under dash in bay...

All ok...

Maybe someone knows abit more...

Tomorrow will be attacking every connector with electrical contact cleaner...

Will see if that helps at all...

Thing is Car turns on and runs perfectly fine other wise...

Maybe its on central point...

Does anyone have a manual with the lighting wiring diagram...

 

if the alrm makes the lights work then i would be looking for a fuse or link somewhere. check em all. all the dash lights and switch lights will be fused with park lights. headlights will be another circuit. hopefully its simple but i have fixed a few harnesses before where the mice or rats have been gnawing on the insulation. that cant be tasty but they love it. if so the wires could have blown the fuse from that. make sure the fuses for these circuits have power at the fuse also dont just check the fuses

Is there a link for all the lights & everything electrical, that has nothing to do with engine/fuel side of things...

No headlights, parkers, high beams, reverse, park, brakes, reading, door, cigarette lighter, roof, or boot lights work.

No power windows, electric mirrors,

no centre guages, a/c lights, radio,

no dash lights/speedo/rpm meters, engine light, revs, water/oil temp...

Nothing at all,

turn on/off the alarm all seems ok...

Maybe alarm???

I have a similar problem with my GTR as it only gets driven a couple of times a year.

On investigation it appears as though the alarm has its own back up battery which the alarm manufacturer recommends changing on a yearly basis (I have had the car now for 4 years and have not changed it) so I am going to first find and then replace this battery.

The fact that all of the lights work when your alarm turns on/off I would suggest that you may have a similar problem.

Piss off spammer...

Anyways, i found it to be a combination of weak battery & bad alternator,

everythings fine when getting jump started...

But when leads are removed, batterys no longer getting charged and battery slowly discharges wjile running...

So unfortunately have to miss out on tomorrows cruise...

;) which is sad as im sure i would have won a prize...

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
