R34 Electrical/ignition Problem

My GT-T has been off road for a while and I kick it over regularly. Recently there is a problem where it seems there isnt enough power to start car, however it will sometimes kick over perfectly if the leads are off battery for a while and i clean them and reconnect. If the leads stay on the battery for say 6 hours or more car wont start.

When this occurs, there is a blue flashing light and a clicking noise from inside engine bay and right side dash, this leads me to believe battery problem.

I have checked the battery and shop has also tested it and is in perfect cond.

I find it weird that the car will start when termianls are left off battery for a while but wont start after a while.

If anyone has any similar problems with a solution or any points that can help me out would be appreciated.

** Also there is a side issue where the stock cd player will not turn on. I have checked the acc fuse for radio, as well as taking the stereo out to see if there was a direct line fuse which doesnt appear to have one. Possibly blown up while jump starting? Im not sure on this one either.

You probably have an alarm thats sucking the battery juice down over time... or your sterio.

I only get around a week at best, 2-3 days if i leave my computer powered on (even though it's in hibernation).

simple problem...

Yeah, its just weird tho when battery is fully charged and reconnect terminals, leave them on and not to start say 5 hours later, but if disconnect terminals and not charge battery, reconnect later and starts fine...

EDIT: No alarm on car.

your faulty sterio could be sucking battery juice down...

terminals not connected means nothing can discharge the battery.

terminals connected means any short, or faulty equipment COULD be leaking current, causing battery drain

There is a loud ticking noise coming from a box under right side of dash just accross from steering column. Im not sure if this is a standard unit or aftermarket, There is no alarm on the car and I have never had to use anything for an immobiliser, but this seems a bit suspicious to me.

Yeah i have since sorted out the stereo problem. (Fuse was corroded a little under bonnet)

Im about to test another battery in the car, this has been my suspicion all along but our charger says good and the shops charger says good.

The problem definately lies with this box. When car will start no noise, when car wont start loud ticking noise coming from this box and a click from fusebox.

Can anyone tell me if these are standard on a 34 or possibly an immobiliser?

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
