Hey Guys,

I have a Jvc KD-AVX1 deck installed in my r34. But recently started to play up on me. It happened on the rare occasion before i got my amp installed the deck would restart out of no where. Now after my amp got installed the deck more often restarts. I checked all connections on the back off unit a few days ago to notice power cable was slightly loose. this was the red power cable, so reconnected the wires tightly and put electrical tape over them. No wires were live, and earth was in a good spot. I drove the car for a couple of days without the problem to occur once, but then last night the deck turned on and off 3 times in the matter of 1 minute.

Now my concerns are, is the deck playing up? if so can it be fixed or can i check anything internally? Also could the power from the amp be causing the deck to restart or could the power from the car be cutting off? Also because the power cable was loose could i have damaged something in the deck internally until i reconnected the power correctly? Or should i buy a new deck?

Thanks guys!

How exactly did you reconnect the wires?

Previously there was a oval connection from the car and on one side from the deck was wire. I noticed the wire had fallen off the oval connection and was loose. So i cut the small oval piece off and connected wire to wire directly and electrical tape over it.

Where you've "connected wire to wire directly and electrical tape over it", is that just twisting the wire together, or actually soldering the wires? If it's just twisted, the vibrations could have caused a bad connection. I'd recommend you either solder the two wires together or use spade terminals.

If the power connection was flakey, it would explain the symptoms exactly! If the deck doesn't have quite enough power, it could restart.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
