i installed my cd player a few wks ago and whilst doing so i lost back up power, so everytime i turn the car off, everything looses memory and resets, its driving me insane.

im sure i heard a fuse blow but i cant find where, i think i have looked everywhere.

any 1 got an idea?

I'm gonna assume that you've had the memory problem since installing your CD player

the usual cause is the constant and Acc wires crossed over (there the red and yellow ones) swap them round you should be sweet

if the above assumption is wrong the the fuse is near your right knee

cheers

when you say everything, do you mean the clock in the dash as well? if so then as bundybear said, check the fuse panel on the right hand side of the steering wheel down near where the lever is to pop the bonnet. just pull them out 1 at a time and see if they are any blown.

also might be worth pulling out your stereo and just unplugging it then turning the car on and off to see if the clock is still losing it's memory.

if it is only the cd player losing it's memory then check the wiring

The same thing has happened to my R32... My cd player wont turn on at all, the clock wont display the time at all and my aircon loses its memory also. I checked the fuses and one was blown, so i tried putting another 10amp fuse in and it blows straight away. It all started when i took my car in to get the compressor bearing fixed and my mechanic has shorted something out but i cant figure what hes done.. :no:

i have checked every single fuse in the car and i cant find a blown one, the only reason my cd player is working is cause i wired constant with accessories for the time being until i find the solution, believe me i wouldnt be asking if i could find the fault.

And yes EVERYTHING looses memory, A/C, Clock, Turbo Timer, CD Player.

sly-01 which fuse keeps blowing in your r32?

you've obviously lost the constant feed to the entire dash (probably ECU, dash lights also).

I know the 32'z have a fuseable link (not fuse, they look like a loop of wire) near the battery this might have gone

with no wiring diagram 4 the 33'z I'd grab a test light and start pokn round

check the back of the Ignition switch 4 constant power (make sure plugs arn't loose 2) it'l give you an idea where 2 look

where bouts you located ?? maybe someone familiar with autoelec in your area can help

cheers

ps you know there are 3 lots of fuses ....

yep i know there are 3 lots of fuses, under bonnet, under steering wheel and boot. i will search for that link fuse

im in mango hill, brisbane

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
