which fuse on teh R32 should i be looking at?

the fuse for teh head unit or the actual fuses for teh car??

the fuse(s) on the head unit are fine upon inspection. look brand new. all the lights work on the car(being dash, headlights, tail lights and what not). the clock just doesnt show the time; the clock light is on, but no time showing!

thanks to razor, i got it all fixed up..

it is a SINGLE 10A fuse on teh bottom row, about 3 from the right hand side i think(dont quote me on that). replace that fuse and the clock and HU works all sweet. i went through about 5 fuses for some reason, found out it was just the way everythign was set out.

if you guys have the same problem, pm me asap, its an easy fix, just have a bunch of red 10A fuses sitting around.

now i need to figure out why the hell the amp aint turning off when i turn the car off. its got a remote turn on/off wire from the accesory on the head unit into the amp, yet the amp doenst turn off :S

sound system is mad though :worship: lovin it!

is the amp mounted side on? as in upright? if so see if the battery terminal is above the remote? if it is it is possible like mine did, that when the amp heated up, the internal heat started to melt the battery solder on the circuit and it bridged across to the remote thus giving the amp constant power even if car is off.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
