I Have a Panasonic Head Unit, two amps, two subs, blah blah blah, jis recently i have been getting feedback through speaker (buzzing sound up n down with throttle) also if i leave face plate in my battery will go flat!

Does any one have any ideas why this occuring and what i might do to fix it?

Thnank-you

2 Questions

1. What quality are ur signal cables?

2. Where abouts does ur cabling run

Hey Jay,

Thanx for the responce, obviously an auto elec has put it together, the cables look fairly desent, however there is a fair bit of a mess in the upper back right of ther boot (cables leading into the back seat from boot) and another factor could be the battery acid which seems to have corroded areas, also bit of residue on amp plugs.

You seem to think its obviously a problem with my leads, and i dare say it must be in the boot being the only exposed cables, what do u suggest?

Thankyou

Hey mate

Your autoelect has probably gotten lazy and wired the signal and power cables right next to eachother without a noise filter.

The best way would be rewire them at least 30cm away from eachother. But it's easier to install a noise filter on all your power cables, this is the quickest but also priciest way, you will need to make sure the noise filter has the same or a larger power handling than the maximum consumption of your amp.

The exposed wires in the boot should be no hassle and the battery acid should only be a problem if it's corroding any of your wires.

Hope that helps!

Cheers mate,

I think your probably got it solved, sounds like a job for the weekend though, I'll let you know how it goes. Much appreciated.

Thanks again!

is you head unit on when you turn your car off?

means ur HU is not wired up properly. the acc wire is hooked up to the positive.

feed back though the speakers can be billions of things (i had this issue before)

*power cables and speaker cables running near eachother

*Alternator issues

*head unit problems (which was my issue in my civic)

have fun mate :P

im not sure about speaker wiring... but this may be help to anyone who has had wiring done...

the reason you must seperate your power cables and your speaker cables is due to magnetism... when a wire has current flowing thru it (power cable), the current running thru the cable generates a magnetic field... this magnetic field "induces" current into the speaker wires which obviously carry the sound current... the hissing/interference noise is that magnetic field interferring (inducing curent) with the sound signals going from the amp to the speakers... this is same problem as running data cabling next to power cables for socket outlets... the magnetic field disturbs the data signals between computer and you have all sorts of problems... this is generally overcome by "screening" or "shielding"... im not sure if you can get audio cabling that has this built into it aswell...

hope this answer any questions as to why you must seperate your power cables from just about anything else...

:O

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
