hey guys, car is acting very weird at the moment and am a little worried as im about to sell my other car in

the next few days and this will be the only one for a month or so while i wait.

about a month ago i broke down in the city late at night with a suspected dead battery. (well now im thinking it was something else) had a jump start from a friend and was on my way. drove 25km home and parked in garage, started next morning no problem - no noticeable issues since.

Friday night just gone was driving locally at night in the back streets and turned my Hi Beams on and my radio cut out - thought that was odd.

Next morning (Saturday) i couldn't get into the car with the button. so i opened it with the key and disarmed the alarm which was sounding with the Nissan immobilizer key, then the car wouldn't start, was completely dead (no lights etc). I left it went back inside and came out an hour later and opened the door. the lights were on and the key started it fine no problem. WEIRD!

This morning starts no problem (not started since Sat) driving to work stop to get a cup of coffee, lock car go inside, come out and unlock get in start.

Stereo has reset? so i tune it back to my station.

as im worried on my lunch break i take it for a drive and notice the Volt Gauge has more movement than normal but still around 14v constant but is flickering more than i have ever noticed. while driving i turn on the Hi Beams and the car nearly died mid flight, as soon as i let go of the light it sorted itself out and kept driving.

ANY IDEAS GUYS.>??? SCOTTY???

im assuming its either my alternator or my battery, but its weird as its at a constant 14v which tells me the alternator is ok, but it sat still for 4 days and started fine which tells me the battery is ok?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
