Hi all

I have recently installed a headunit to my R32 GTR and am now blowing the fuse for the dash lights/rear tail lights. Using this guide here: http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf I found that wire C had no wire in it, however wire B had a black and red wire, and I assumed they were swapped. Going on this assumption, I plugged up my head unit (The stock speakers arent actually that bad at all, how surprising is that?) and everything worked like a charm. Great I thought, put the car back together and went to test drive it to check for engine nose.

On powering up the car a slight problem dawned on me. Firing up my headlights, I noticed firstly that I had no dash lights, and secondly no tail lights (break and reverse/indictator works fine however). A blown fuse is what I guessed at and I scavanged a fuse from my old car (poor baby, shes so neglected these days). Lo and behold, as soon as I fired the head lights up, even with the car switched off and the headunit quite definatly off, the fuse blew again.

Anyone have any ideas as to why? Im out on my back here and have no idea wtf is going wrong, I really dont want to remove the head unit again as its quite a pain in the bum.

Thanks

Ian

find the black wire on the radio and bolt it to the frame. the red/blk wire you have is the amplified antenna run that to the blu or blu/wht wire on your radio.

(I'm going to do a snip of this post and use it elsewhere.)

hehe not quite, the remote wire in the main plug is for a power antenna whereas the remote for the stock amp seems to me to be in the rear speak plug on the 32 as well.

I could be wrong however :P

take a snap of the rear plug- i want to look.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
