Greetings all,

Installed a head unit in the R33 today, however i don't get any radio stations, am or FM, i brought the FM frequency convertor.. It plays CD's without a problem.. Have i missed something? is there an antenor fuse that might have blown? have i missed an earth? or is the deck dodgy.

Thanks

David

If you just installed it, is it an Aussie stereo or Jap? The frequency converter lowers or hightens (I forget) the frequency range that the stereo listens on.

So... it's to be used with a Jap stereo to listen on Australian radio.

If you have an aussie radio, don't use the converter.

Sorry if this isn't the case, but otherwise you can only start looking at the antenna wiring. Get a multi-tester and test the continuity from the plug to the antenna.

Come to think of it though... AM radio doesn't usually use an external antenna, and it's amplitude modulated... so in theory your frequency modulated converter shouldn't affect it. Now i'm stuffed. Do you get static? Or simply nothing at all?

If you bought a new Australian head unit - you won't need a frequency converter..

you need a nissan double diversity adapter made by Aeropro AP358a (part no.) from autobarn which takes the 2 prong aerial from the nissan and has a single australian prong..

from what your saying - you put in a new head unit with a freq. converter which isn't needed.. the aerial is a plain old aerial - the HU controls the radio frequencies it receives..

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
