which fuse on teh R32 should i be looking at?

the fuse for teh head unit or the actual fuses for teh car??

the fuse(s) on the head unit are fine upon inspection. look brand new. all the lights work on the car(being dash, headlights, tail lights and what not). the clock just doesnt show the time; the clock light is on, but no time showing!

thanks to razor, i got it all fixed up..

it is a SINGLE 10A fuse on teh bottom row, about 3 from the right hand side i think(dont quote me on that). replace that fuse and the clock and HU works all sweet. i went through about 5 fuses for some reason, found out it was just the way everythign was set out.

if you guys have the same problem, pm me asap, its an easy fix, just have a bunch of red 10A fuses sitting around.

now i need to figure out why the hell the amp aint turning off when i turn the car off. its got a remote turn on/off wire from the accesory on the head unit into the amp, yet the amp doenst turn off :S

sound system is mad though :worship: lovin it!

is the amp mounted side on? as in upright? if so see if the battery terminal is above the remote? if it is it is possible like mine did, that when the amp heated up, the internal heat started to melt the battery solder on the circuit and it bridged across to the remote thus giving the amp constant power even if car is off.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
