hi guys, i just got new speakers installed at the rear and ever since that happened i've got really bad FM radio reception. could be a coincidence, but i'm thinking a wire or something has come loose at the back? the headunit was not touched at all. can anyone point me in the right direction towards a wire or anything?

i took a look in the boot and on the left hand side if u remove the panel theres a bunch of wires there.

btw i have a vdo head unit and the reception for radio has been clear for 2 yrs, now theres hissing and some static, depends which area i drive through.

cheers

All I can suggest is, disconnect the back speakers and see if the hissing disapears, then take it from there. It could have somthing to do with earthing...

Its an R33, the antenna is at the rear left. I think i'll open the boot and take out the rear left panel again and see if i can see anything wrong with the antenna leads, last time i took a look there a bunch of wires there and i didn't know which is which.

Didn't think it was necessary to ground the speakers? I thought you just need to ground the headunit.

I'll take some pics tomorrow.

i figured out why i have dodgy reception. when i installed my h/u i cbf going out n buying an antenna coversion plug, so i just soilded the wires together ect and i had an ect wire coming from somewhere so i left that unconnected. i think its the windscreen antenna thats not plugged in? but thats why its dodgy on mine.

i play cd's all the time anyway

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
