Hey lads,

just a quick question, today for the 3rd time I left my lights on at work & drained my battery....oops.

just wondering, most cars either have an auto off function so when you open the door the lights turn off (my old Calais did this) or at least an alarm/chime to remind you.

do r34's have this? if they do then obviously mine is buggered, so any help on fixing this would be appreciated :)

if they don't come with anything like that, then maybe I need a post it note on my steering wheel haha

cheers fellas !

is your car auto, and does it beep in reverse?

yes it should have a "lights on/no keys" warning chime. But it may be a combined unit for reverse, headlights and overspeed.

If you can't get the factory one working you can buy and install a generic one from Jaycar.

do you leave your car on a turbo timer by any chance??? cause of course the chime doesn't work while engine is still running... try sitting in your car, turn lights on and you should hear the chime. sometimes though I know when I really quickly get out of the car you kind of pull the key as you hop out and don't hear it.

it's manual & no doesn't beep in reverse, also it's an n/a so no turbo timer for me haha

there's definitely no chime whatsoever :(

I'm guessing my best bet is to take it to an auto-elec, I've got some other electrical issues that need attention like my clock & trip computer resetting every time I turn the car on/off & my alarm system causing many headaches haha

thanks for the info guys, appreciated !

Hmmmm.. Look in the DIY section, there's a DIY guide on how to disconnect the chime, so maybe you could do the reverse?

I think the wirings and stuff are in your steering wheel column, near the ignition barrel.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
