hey all,

im not sure that something has blown but it doesnt seem to work anymore, i was wondering if there is way to tell if the amp or the speakers are stuffed..im currently running an amp for my 2 front speakers, and they used to be loud but recently don't seem to be making much noise anymore..i mainly want to know which one is stuffed so that i can replace it.

thanks heaps in advance.

At a guess, i'd imagine that a dead speaker would just stop working completely, and your amp shouldn't much care about the working speaker. It should remain at full volume. Have you checked your gains on the amp? Failing that, check the F/R fader controls on your headunit. If you fade to the rear, most HU's that i've used will fade to the RCA's also. So if you faded to the front, and you only had one set of RCA outputs to the amp, it would fade the front away (because the front is actually running off the RCAs, which are treated as a "rear" output generally)

Check all associated fuses dude...

Failing anything wrong there, you may have to take your door trims off, drop your speakers out and see if theres movement in the speakers themselves while theres some music playing.

If theres no movement, check all your wiring is still intact with a continuity test on a multimeter and/or take the speaker out and run it up on a different source (lounge room stereo etc [dont overcrank it])

Just use a process of elimination until you find where the problem lies...

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
