Hey GWP021, you want to elaborate on that battery defender, sounds interesting.

SOunds like the battery to me cause i've had a similiar problem.

Basically the batter wasn't maintaining a constant charge. ITs supposed to charge at like 14 or close even when its starting. When i turn the key it would dramatically drop to 7 and basically imitated a flat battery.

I had to get one of the standalone starters for $30 from Repco and it hooked it on and it started every time. Eventually changed the battery and no probs ever since.

well i was having probs with car not starting after sitting for a few days so went to battery wholesalers ( formerly battery world ) where i bought the battery and they tested the battery and charge from altenator ( free service ) then told me i wasnt using the battery enuf and sold me this lil black box ( edit:battery fighter - actual name) you just hook a lead up to your battery which comes with it so its permenant then plug the box into a power point and connect the lead from it to the lead run from your battery and it maintanes your battery while the vehicle is parked then just disconect start the car and your off havent had any trouble since

wiaver: do not count the above as gospel im an idiot when it comes to tech stuff i just seem to get lucky with guesses then take to a pro always consult your mechanic about car troubles

Thanx for that. It would seem that the device is some kind of miniture charger that maintains the power level of the battery. Sounds like a good idea and something I would need as often the line is sitting there for a week or more without being used and also one of my work vehicles can be sitting around for days on end.

Alarms and stereo's will always be drawing a certain amount of power and it doesn't take long for a weak battery to lose all of it's power.

Will definitely look into it. Thanx again :D

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      By DominusUniversi · Posted

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
