hi i have R34 GTT 1998

im going to install 2 x 12 subs, 6.5 front, 6 rear, 2 tweeter, 1dvd player, 4ch amp

the 2 subs and front are connecting to amp, rear and tweeters will connect to dvd player...

would i need bigger resistance fuse for them or its ok to stay with normal fuse???...

also when i blink left or right or turn on the emergency blinker, the head lights are blinking too....

and the needle in battery guage is moving up and down about 2sectors.... also when i open and close window... the head lights and interior reading lights are blink....

should i just change to bigger battery?

these are not always happens... sometimes...

cheers

One of the first steps we always recommend you do is install a larger battery (deep cycle if you plan on running the stereo without the car running) and earthing upgrade. The R34 has quite a large alternator and I would have thought for a one amplifier system (unless of course the amplifier is 4 x 500 continous or something that large) it would have no problems keeping the battery topped up.

Definately start with the earth upgrade first though as it's the cheapest. For more info see here:

How does one go about earthing a R33's battery if it's in the boot? You'll have to run long earthing wires to the engine bay? Wouldnt that hinder the earthing kit if the ground is too long?

Hey mate,

You can earth to any point of the cars frame that has exposed metal. Try to avoid painted or rusted areas and look for a decent sized, clean face of steel to earth to. :P

Liquid's car had some work done by Marty incl. grounding points for the boot. There's pictures which show exactly what was run where.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
