hey all,

was hoping someone might be able to help me with an install im currently doing.

ive got a 4ch amp for front 6 inch splits and rear 6x9's and a mono amp for a 12inch sub.

ive wired it all up except for the front speakers running the rca's from head unit to amp and then speaker wire from amp to speaker and am getting some massive feedback from the rear speakers, the wire's are running the same way as the amp wires and there is no issues with that. i also pulled out the rca's so there was no chace of interfearance from the power but same issue, all feedback no music.

any help or pointers would be great

thanks all:)

Run RCA/Speaker wires on 1 side of the car, Power for the Amp on the OTHER side of the car.

Check that you have clean grounding, check that ground from the battery terminal to the Chassis/Body (R32 GTR has a shocking battery earth).

Make sure your grounding is less than 1 meter long from the amp to grounding point, the shorter the run, the less resistance on the cable.

thanks for the help guys,

sounds like the grounding is the way to go, i'll also re wire so im away from the power cable. while were on the topic can anyone suggest a good grounding point in the boot of the r32, i just took off a couple of bolts i found attached to the chasis, cleaned off the paint and replaced. also can i use the same grounding point for both amps?

cheers

+ 1 for what the others said, but also check your head unit. I had a really annoying interference problem with a similarly setup system and I tried everything from noise filters, re-earthing, new RCA leads etc. Ended up replacing the head unit and the problem disappeared!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
