hi i have R34 GTT 1998

im going to install 2 x 12 subs, 6.5 front, 6 rear, 2 tweeter, 1dvd player, 4ch amp

the 2 subs and front are connecting to amp, rear and tweeters will connect to dvd player...

would i need bigger resistance fuse for them or its ok to stay with normal fuse???...

also when i blink left or right or turn on the emergency blinker, the head lights are blinking too....

and the needle in battery guage is moving up and down about 2sectors.... also when i open and close window... the head lights and interior reading lights are blink....

should i just change to bigger battery?

these are not always happens... sometimes...

cheers

One of the first steps we always recommend you do is install a larger battery (deep cycle if you plan on running the stereo without the car running) and earthing upgrade. The R34 has quite a large alternator and I would have thought for a one amplifier system (unless of course the amplifier is 4 x 500 continous or something that large) it would have no problems keeping the battery topped up.

Definately start with the earth upgrade first though as it's the cheapest. For more info see here:

How does one go about earthing a R33's battery if it's in the boot? You'll have to run long earthing wires to the engine bay? Wouldnt that hinder the earthing kit if the ground is too long?

Hey mate,

You can earth to any point of the cars frame that has exposed metal. Try to avoid painted or rusted areas and look for a decent sized, clean face of steel to earth to. :P

Liquid's car had some work done by Marty incl. grounding points for the boot. There's pictures which show exactly what was run where.

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
