hey guys

ive searched the forum the last 2 days with not much help, so sorry if this has been covered

Car is 1993 R32 gtst

basically how it goes, drive car to work one morning, finshed like 9 hrs later car was dead no warning lights would come up on the dash, nothing. Except my alarm was making a very quite noise, so got a mate to jump start me. Started perfect, but when driving home like 45mins away, just as i got home used my highbeams and my Hicas light came on for a spilt second and my stero restart itself, and the car loses power when using those things now.

Now my alarm is going on being 6yrs old now and was thinking maybe it could be the backup battery gone dead. But other ppl are telling me straight up my alternator is going out.

i read on here that the Hicas light will flash if the battery is low hence why i think the alternator is not charging the battery

i dont have any test lights so what would u guys recomend/ see what i can do?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
