Fusible Link : My R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Doesn't Have Power : Wont Start

R32 GT-R battery terminal, cap, and fusible link

Most modern cars use a large fuse to provide power to the vehicle accessories.  On the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R, there are two terminals from the positive terminal of the battery.  One has a easily replaceable fusible link.    Even though the lid of the fusebox under hood, shows a 75 amp Main fuse, it is not in the box of an R32 GT-R.

Cap - 24345-51E64
Terminal   -24347-51E64
Fusible Link - 24022-F6100

R32 GT-R ECCS Wiring Diagram

A fusible link is a type of electrical fuse, made from a piece of wire, smaller than the wire it is protecting. The fusible link, can and will deteriorate over time.  We have seen some that look fine externally, but you will have odd things happen if the wires are bumped, or if the car is driven.

If you lose the fusible link on an R32 GT-R, you will lose the dash lights, you will lose the ignition coils, but you can still have ECU, fuel pump, and the car will crank over.  It just won't start.
