Hi Guys there may be a quick and simple answer to this prob that im having despite the hours and hours that ive spent checking, splitting and cutting wires!

Long story short i wanted to get rid of the electric antenna from coming up and down each time my head unit comes on and off. Firstly it goes up way past the roof and it looks like im fishing and secondly.............................well thats it really, i look like im fishin'.

So i disconnected a few wires in hope that id simply cut the power to the antenna but now, for whatever reason my amp and consequently sub arent getting power = no doof doof :banana:

Ive tried (as stated above) reconnecting the original wires and have tried 2 diff amps with the sub and same setup but it just wont work.

At the moment ive simply got the remote wire for the amp connected to the back of the headunit. All other wires are connected as normal (speakers) and ive got the pre amp plugs (L&R) both connected to the amp.

Can anyone help me out. What connections have i missed?????

Any advise would be greatly appriciated people.

Kind regards, Evan

Have you checked your fuses in case you blew one??? and your ariel shouldn't be going up and down as soon as you turn off your HU it sounds like you had the antenna wire connected to the acc wire and not the dedicated power wire for the antenna

make sure your antenna is DEFINATELY connected to the remote antenna out coming off your head unit. this is usually blue.

also make sure your other wires are properly connected up whilst doing it. as for your sub and amp, you do have a positive and negative lead running to them yes?

maybe check the ground and the 12v lead coming from the battery? As there is no fuse for the power antenna dont bother wasting your time there.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
