hey,

when i turn my sounds system on, whilst the car isnt on its all fine and sounds fine. but soon as i turn on the car even into acc mode, it starts to make a buzzing humming noise, i start the car and it still makes the noise, i rev the car abit and the noise gets louder, then drops back down with the revs...

i was woundering if anyone knows what this could be and how i could go at fixing it, really annoying lol...

It could be a lot of things, so to cut to the chase, read this

Ten commandments of noise

is a whine, or static noise ?

static is plugs , coils arcing to ground most of the time

whine, is normally a ground loop, RCA shield stuffed, wire to the wrong power source, or some other accessory causing issues, fan etc.

does it have amps ? or just a deck ? does the noise come from all speakers ?

does it do it on the radio and CD ? if just the radio look to see if the antenna is grounded and tight, or plugged in fully ?

clean the terminals on the battery and make sure its tight. ground to the alternators frame mounting bolt back to the battery ground will help noise and current surge issues ?

a powerline noise filter is a bandaid , and wont solve the actual problem correctly.

its like a buzzing fuzzy noise, yes i have 1 amp, and i run a incar computer, it comes from only the front tweeters, and it happens ALL the time the car is on and the system is turned on.

if you can help it would be much apricated. If not it looks like its going to a shop to fix. :banana:

first guess, in car computer power supply is producing voltage "ripple" find a oscilloscope to test it

or the RCA wires are run too close to a coil of wire(power supply, high power source, low quality voltage converter or RCA with broken shield picking up RFI

Tweeter on a amp or deck powered ? try a new RCA RUN OUTSIDE the car to the tweeter amp, does it still do it ?

tweeter speaker wires touching metal ???

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
