All is good!

------------------------------------------------

OK what have I done wrong now?

I tested the lines correctly and they worked, however now the unit doesnt power on.

I test the ACC (when key is in) there is power.

I test the BATTERY (permanent 12v) and the tester doesnt light up.

Whats wrong???

------------------------------------------------

Hey, I just pulled my headunit that came with the car out.....

Followed the http://r33stereo.groovesystems.net/ guide very good..

However, between the BATTERY / ACC / GROUND lines there seem to be a small black box marked "filter & fuse box" now there is a fuse inside and a coil thing.

Question is: Do I need to use this in my headunit install (ie. connect the head unit wire via this box? The headunit I want to install is the same one that is shown in the guide. JVC one.

Thanks!

You need an inline fuse when wiring the new HU in for the power wire. I would get rid of the stock one and replace it with another one, there only a couple of $'s.

How come? so for all HU installs you need to have a inline fuse between the BATT/ACC/GROUND?

Wont the one I have now work?

This one doesnt look stock. Check attatchment.

Like any fuse mate its there to protect your wiring and what its attatched to in the event of a short/fault. The one you have now is an inline fuse/with resitor which i have no idea why its there like that, thats the Japanese for you???

The HU will have a fuse in the back already protecting it (around 30a) but adding another one off your power wire will not hurt at all and if you have killed a surge before it even enters the hu (not just leaving the inbuilt fuse to protect it) then theres less likleyhood that anything will get damaged either.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
