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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
