Intermittent Electrical Failure

[x_christ0n]

Hey guys my names christon and im new to sau so first off forgive me if this is the wrong thread for this post

I recently sold one of my cars and bought my girlfriend a R34 sedan. i left it entirely stock apart from Bc coil overs its na and auto. its been a dream daily up until a couple of days ago my girlfriend was driving and apparently all the dash lights came on and the stereo cut out but it came back and didn't repeat itself during that day later that night i took it out for a drive and as soon as i jumped in i heard what sounded like interior fan flaps etc. cycling and my interior light was flicking on and off i figured the leds could just be on there way out so i ignored it.

when i arrived at my destination the interior light didn't work so i thought they finally gave in but my central locking wasn't working. i thought weird ill check it out later went and grabbed a bite jumped in my car everything was working again put my key in as usual one click and bang no electrics at all no hazards its like someone disconected my battery checked my battery since its still new still has 13v checked fuses and relays i couldn't see anything out of the ordinary i waited and faintly my interior light came back on dimly cranked and no electrics again waited waited waited eventually i had full power and the car cranked and started drove home with everything off to be safe the abs and some other light came on momentarily. i almost made it home the cluster started to dim out so i kept the revs up a little bit and managed to make it home as soon as i got home i turned the car off and checked if it would start and again it lost all electrics I tried running a different earth and checked that the fuses and relays had good earth all seems to be okay with my test light. unfortunately broke my multimeter the other day though the embarrassing thing is im a Nissan technician and have no idea where to start. there's no manuals or anything relating to imports at work has anyone had a similar problem with there r34?? or maybe have a good lead for me to start chasing? pretty frustrated and flustered with it Cheers guys

Disconnect and clean the Battery Terminals and see what happens.

Oh and Welcome to the SAU.

It does sound like an earthing problem. Could be one of the internal earths or in the engine bay - they won't often show up with a multimeter - they'll only show up a fault with load on. Maybe systematically check all of the main earths (in the engine bay) and try some of the internal ones as well.
