i know its kind of obvious but it sounds like you might have blown a fuse. check all the fuses and if they are all fine then you may have a short somewhere in your wiring. you may have to rip out most of the dash to find it but hopefully its just at the back of your head unit somewhere.

i just fixed up my mates stuffup with installing his headunit and sub. he didnt solder any wires and he missed a few all together. make sure any wires you dont find a use for get some electrical tape around the ends to stop them shorting on anything.

The Clock Died whilst connecting the Wires to the New Head Unit. Has this happend to anyone else? also the Air Conditioning Contols have Died. Cant figure out What happend. Need Help

it`s a 10amp fuse you have earthed power wire at some time during installation

have done it once or twice my self

yep...i did the same just recently..was using my pocket knife to slice some elec tape on the constant power line. Fried the clock.....15amp fuse

How difficult is the Stock R32 headunit to remove in a GTR? Is is similar to the R33 headunit guide posted in this forum?

R32 is pretty much straight froward

1. pull up the gear boot plastic trim and take out the ash tray there should be 4 screws 2 behind the ash tray and 2 under the shifter boot

2. then the surround peice should come off

3. there is a bracket holding the HU in 6 screws hold this in, 3 on each side

4. the whole lot should slide out and thats it

i can take pics but mine will be a litle bit different because i have modified my dash

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
