Hi all,

Just bought a stagea from queensland and am currently getting it roadworthied in victoria which is a bitch. I had to get the window tint stripped off and since then the tv tuner has been stuffing up. The tuner is an 'ASUKA' which i think chook installed for the previous owner. The problem is that when ever i get and reception the screen starts scrolling from top to bottom and flickering. but as soon as i change to a hd station which it can recieve it stops the flashing thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Not to impressed with the tinters they though they should take a 4 km test run to test the tinting obviously and flatten the battery. grrrr.

Cheers

Sounds like a real Lemon! Haha (joke!) I'm sure Chook will chime in with some help for you.

Was the tint just the front windows? Can't see how that could possibly be connected to the TV issues...

funny thing is the car is bright yellow. they had to strip the whole car. i was told by the previous owner that the aerials were in the back window so im not sure if that could have anything to do with it.

They stripped the factory UV cut glass that passes compliance? go to a new workshop, and get the tint shop to fix your shit. IIRC, antenna is in one of the wagon area windows, I hope they didnt strip that.

there was tint on top of the uv glass which they got rid of.

Ok, yes I would be worried then. Sounds like they may have damaged one of the contacts on the window. You may need an auto elec or similar to confirm what has been damaged and where... They should have been much more careful! Sounds like they were more interested in taking the car for a spin though!

Damn that sounds like a lot more stuffing round and money. Hopefully the tinters will pay for it.

You had tint over the top of the UV-cut glass? Damn that must've been dark. I can hardly see in mine as it is!!

My first thoughts were "good luck getting rid of the 'tint' - its the actual colour of the glass".

In any case, I thought you could tint all side windows except the front ones as dark as you want? Maybe its different in VIC?

I know the radio antenna is in the rear window somewhere - I always thought it was built into the demister wiring there or somewhere in that vicinity...could be wrong though...there's also wiring in the back side windows on C34's too.

my mechanic talked to the tinters today. they said that they removed the tint by steam and no tools so that leads to a dead end. im gonna get an auto electrician to look at it soon. Unless someone on here can help.

With the tint on u would have to put ur face up to the glass to see through.

Off the topic a bit, i just had mine tinted, (ceramic not metal as not to block the window aerial reception), made it much cooler, talking to a few people, the privacy glass is not actually a tint, just a dye within the glass and being darker absorps heat and has not reflecting properties.

re the TV, there are 4 tv aerials, 1 each in side rear windows and 2 in back window, assuming these are ok, someone may have just fiddled with some settings, ie put it in PAL mode rather than NTSC.

try this:

tv on

press menu

press right x2

down x2

ok

down

then ok to scroll between NTSC PAL AND AUTO.

If that does anything check the country region, get to a good reception area and rescan the channels.

ps it will not receive any HD channels.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
