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

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
