I have a Nesa dash mounted DVD player in my S1 Stagea that transmits audio to an old JVC HU on an FM freq via a modulator with a lot of engine noise. The noise (whine) rises and falls with revs so I am pretty sure it is alternator interference, but the confusing bit is that the noise is only when the dvd player is on (playing or not) and not when the HU is playing radio.

I have tried a 5 amp supressor (no amps or such at this stage) on the FM modulator but it hasn't made any difference so I am at a bit of a loss as where to go next, any suggestions would be appreciated.

No, thats the really annoying part about it - the whine is only eveident when I am using the dvd player.

The HU is an older model that has a (unused) tape deck - I use the dvd player for my cd's

Only problem with that, is the dvd player doesn't have any speaker level out - it is transmitting to the head unit via a fm modulator (that I connected the noise supressor to) and the HU amps it up and puts it out to the speakers. Also, the dvd player doesn't have a tuner so I am still using the HU for the radio - its only the tape deck thats unused.

Does anyone out there have any good reason why I shouldn't just go and buy 2 more noise supressors and put one on the power to the dvd player and one on the power to the head unit? I know it may be overkill, but thats how p1ssed off I am getting. I have never seen a setup produce this much noise without any amps or anything..

Where'd you plug the power from?

Test it's not the power supply by running a wire (with appropriate fuse) straight to the power. It might be needing more current for dvd mode than you're giving it.

Also make sure your ground is the same gauge as the power you're giving the unit. ...

Suppressors are a band aid fix from how I see it.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
