I've recently just bought a r34 25GT 2000 sedan

its a very clean car and i cannot put my finger on it but the only thing that doesn't seem to work and what i happened to over look is the fact that the car horn doesn't work?

the car has its RWC is it even possible to get a RWC without a working horn?

the battery was recently replaced with a brand new battery could this possibly be a reason as to why the horn does not work?

just wondering if someone could help me out or even give me a guide or something as to how i could fix this problem. thanks

Have you checked the horn , its on the steel post in front of radiator ? Check for wires ? plugged in ? Ground ?

Its a pretty simple item

Fuse ?

any other recent mods ? Fmic ???? Oh wait its not a turbo

Has it been wet ? Power washed or rain ? Deep drains ?

Does the steering wheel sound funny when it turns? Kinda grinds a bit behind the airbag area ? Turn it full lock does it work now ?

Is it auto or manual ? Auto with volume controls ? Or tiptromic shifter on wheel ? if so do the work ok ?

Could be a clock spring but doubt it

Did you change steering wheels ?ADR Defect if you do by the way on airbag cars unless its a gtr wheel or sim!

any loose wires near battery ? maybe someone hacked it in japan or ?

Most likely water , wires , fuse related , too wet it will dry out after a bit and work again ?

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
