once i saw my mechanic trying to start a car and it was also struggling, he poured some hot water on the terminals and up it went. but i'm assuming that just to melt any crap effecting the connection plus it'll be pretty messy if you pour anything in the boot of a skyline.

if your battery dropped a cell, it would be totally ****ed by now. if your altenator was ****ed, the car would be cutting out while driving, and it wouldbe trashed. the only way the deck would be draining power is if it is wired up to direct positive power instead of ignition power. i dont know what other electrical after market accessories youve fitted, but all i can suggest to try is checking them.

A healthy 12V car battery will float @ ~12.2-12.4V give or take.

A healthy alternator will put out ~13.8-14.4 give or take (mine is 14.2V)

*Important note* - this will not change with rev's. If the voltage increases as the rev go up (14V @ 800rpm 16V @ 4000rpm) the regulator is not working. This will cook your battery.

I'd get a multimeter & recheck your battery & alternator to see they are within the above V ranges.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
