I've just got an R33 GTR and have a couple of queries on some of the interior electrics which I think are not working correctly but I have nothing to compare them to.

The climate control resets every time the ignition is turned off, ie I have to turn the unit on and set the temperature every time I drive the car. Is this how it should operate or should it retain the settings from the previous use?

The electric antenna does not go up. It has a Clarion CD player fitted and the antenna does not go up when the radio is switched on or by using the button on the dash. How should the antenna operate?

Finally my clock resets too 1.00 every time the ignition is turned off/on. It is also very dim all the time whether the lights are on or not. Wiring, I guess?

Cheers

The wire may also be marked "REMOTE" from the deck (same as remote for amps etc)

Most decks use a light blue wire for the remote wire. You could try tracing the wire back, it may be pinched/cut/corroded.

Also as dAVE said - could the antenne motor.

I would definitely check the wiring first, as your other problems were fixed with fuses, so something may have shorted out at some stage.

Could also just be the mast of the antenna - when you first switch the deck on, have a listen to see if you can hear the motor going or not - if you can, then i'd say the mast has been threaded (they are plastic).

Might want to also try getting a multimeter to see if there is current getting to the antenna to begin with...

My car just started doing the samething, I was wondering how you went with that problem.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
