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

paul

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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz 路 Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 馃ゲ But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
