Hi Guys,

I installed a new CD player in my car and my tail lights and dash lights now do not work, i am unsure what has happened.

I checked all fuses and they are fine (pulled each one out).

Also removed my CD Player cutting all the wires to ensure it would cover that.

Auto electricians have told me that it is related to installing the new cd player, since i have removed the cd player i thought it would now work.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

if someone is close by to me i will pay to get it fixed.

could be that you have un-done a screw that had an earth lug on it and have forgotten to re earth the circut.

in my experience its normally something silly like that, have a good look around for any wires that are just hanging around not connected to anything, typically black or black stripe for earth but not always.

definately a fuse dude

one of the fuses in the engine bay (from memory)

you've most likely earthed you head unit to your parkers wire (used to dim the headunit when ur parkers are switched on)

so earth it sumewhere else or every time you change the fuse it will go bang soon as you flick the parkers on. :P

I have cheked all fuses etc, you may be right about an earth wire but its strange cause in the 33's u get a standard loom plug with the standard head unit, when i bought my car it had a non standard cd player in it but same loom plug just with wires plugged into the correct loom spots, i just ran off these wires and the new head unit worked straight away.

I am stumped, its in the shop now getting it fixed ill see what the outcome is.

Getting pulled over again would not be fun cause my car is so friggen low n dont really want cops noticing i have no tail lights :'(

Cheers for all help provided!

I had the lights fixed, they said it was something under the dash..

i put my cd player back in n f**ked it up again!!!!

pulled it out again n now its back at stage 1

HELPPPPP

im thinking of selling this POS

    • 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
