Hey guys, Went to start up the gt-r on sunday morning to find the batery was completly dead after just being replaced last month.

I have connect up the meter and a light bulb and yes, there is a constant current being drawn from the BAT 10 amp Fuse, this is highlighted in WHITE on the fude cover lid. But i cant read jap so i dont know whats draining my power. The light bulb does not shine at a consistand brightness but, dimming in and out if this means anything.

taking the fuse in and out everytime i drive the thing is begining to become a burdon. It's an R33 model 1995.

Hope you guys can help me or throw some sudgestions to find were this power is being sucked from.

Cheers.

Are you referring to the japanese writing on the fuse box cover inside the dash?

This fuse layout is that I know from R33 GTS-t, but I think it applies to all general R33 including GTR. Hope it can solve your problem.

Car will not start. and the the battery go's flat is whats happening

interior lights still work, alarm and everything is running. and no its not the alarm!

Thanks for that translation mate and acording to that it's the Electrics Fuse.

odviously then its somthing to do with the elecrics of the car... so this eliminates anything else with a fuse and whats left?

And after inspecting the rear strut tower brace, the nut has been cross threaded and used before... so previous owner has odviously had battery out before afew times as well.

maybe i should give supercheap's head office a call and hassle bob, see if he knew what the problem was.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
