Hey guy I was trying to install the radio/cd player unit for my R33

I was up to step 4. Remove the factory unit, but can't unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom of the unit

does anyone have similar difficulties and have suggestions as to what other tools I can use?

Thanks

Line up the screw driver and screw, get a hammer and give the back of the screw driver a few light taps to loosen.

Try loosening with a breaker bar but be careful not to stuff the corners of the screw..

If all else fails, drill it.

& if all that fails, try Dr Who's Sonic Screwdriver

I know that doesn't help you any right now but along with flying cars (http://www.moller.com/skyc.htm), affordable public space travel (http://www.virgingalactic.com) & personal submarines (http://www.uboatworx.com) we'll probably see it all in our lifetimes.

In the meantime, just drill it........... :)

Yep I'm bored with too much time on my hands

not for much longer :w00t:

hammer and screwdriver trick works on those. worst ones are on the radio itself.

Hey guys I finally got the screw and installed the new player, it's working fine and all

but now I'm facing a bigger problem, my car won't start (and it's not because it's out of battery)

ok so I put the keys into the slot and try to start it, but it keeps making clicking sounds

and when I switch it back to the start position there's this humming/chattering noise in the engine bay

I tried to put the factory unit back in but it still gives me the same problem

can anyone help me, I dun wanna catch the bus tomorrow.

Thanks in advanced

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
