Hey guys,

If i can find a place and get the RCA cables , anyone wanna have abit of a meet and greet somewhere or something, to give me a hand to get the RCA's laid properly once and for all, and get em into the boot ready for the box / amp [at home of course atm or if its away from my place or what not... ill bring it wid me but i can do the tuning or so i hope :) ] it would be much appreciated...

where is somewhere i can get A) FUSE for the power wiire from battery to amp... and secondly RCA cables...

Answer to question A:

You can get fuses and RCA's for car audio stuff from JB hifi or any other car stereo place. The best thing to do (and the easiest) is just buy one of the wiring kits. They come with power lead, fuse, fuse holder, earth wire, terminals etc.

I havent had any experience with audio stuff in skylines though so cant help you out there. Just give it a shot, you cant really stuff it up, just make sure the power cables and the RCAs go down opposite sides of the car.

Ok ive got a r32 so the batts under the bonnet. You can get the fuses and rcas from anywhere as i mentioned.

Most people are at work at the moment, including me. Come along to a cruise or meet and im sure there will be heaps of people willing to give you a few pointers.

RCA's, like rhett said are very easy to get. Go down to JB hi fi or Autobarn whoever. They all have them. How many channels does the amp have? What do you plan on powering with the amp, subs obversely, but also any splits or 6x9's?

Oh and what area of town are you in?

its a mono block 1500watt Epsilon amp... one channel i believe... ;)

and i just dont know what gauge i need... ive got the biggest fitting gauge power wire that i can just slot straight into the ports in the amp.. but if i could go bigger if its of any use / enhance anything and theres a way to get it in i would....

i just need RCA's and a fuse to put int he power wire...

problem is, A) i dont wanna damage the liner one bit and id rather the help of someone thats done it before so i dont screw up :(

Unless your running mega power for some sort of competition car stero i think the wire you have should be fine. The only probelm i can see is running the rca cables through the car. I did this but running it under the carpet in the middle of the car, under the seat and up into the boot. Power wont be and issue as the battery is in the boot already, so just put in the fuse between the battery and the amp, and wire in the power cable. Dont forget a decent grounding cable aswell. If you need help and feel like a drive to Wheelers Hill (near glen waverley) pm me, i will be trying to fit my cooler tomorrow but will still see if i can help.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
