hey guys. I ended up replacing a few of the rubber fuel lines located in the boot yesterday. In order to do this I had to remove my amp which I've had for about a year now and had no problems with until yesterday. I made sure I put it all back together correctly but now when i turn the ignition one click over ( head unit and clock both turn on) the cigarrete lighter fuse blows every time (15 amp) and the amp doesnt switch on. I've tried disconnecting the amp and just turning on the ignition without having it hooked up but the cigarette fuse is still blowing. have I maybe pinched a wire in the boot or something that is related to the cigarette lighter. This is driving me crazy! you fix one thing and another problem surfaces lol maybe someone knows the wiring layout for an r33 gtst?

If thats all you did for sure ?

rca is pinched and grounded out or shorted now

Or blue trigger wire is dead shorting to ground

No other reasons unless your amp is wired to the cig lighter instead of battery lol god forbid , I have witnessed it before

Remove all blue wire , tape it up

Remove rca cables mark if needed for front rear etc , power up the deck is it blowning fuses still , yes ? You have other issues

Oh and amp ground missing can do it or fried amp inside or shorted speaker wires but doubt that if you didnt unwire the whole amp ( check close for 1 strand of stray copper on connections to place wires on the amp power and speakers all it takes is 1 to blow a fuse )

No , plug rca cable in while powered up one plug at a time ( volume muted or all the way down cause you will get a loud squeal when plugging in) if one blows the fuse repair or replace that rca of find the pinch point , the plate for the fuel pump ???

Next pop the blue trigger wire back on the amp( thin one near power and ground except old hifonics amps and maybe a few others)

If its still ok move amp back to mounting area , if that blows the fuse your grounding out or pinching a wire agaist metal

That should get ya fixed if not its a freak of nature out of the blue issue unrelated to your fixes

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
