hi all ,after removing boot sub/twin amp setup from my r33,i then installed a new stereo useing the aeropro connectors,

wouldnt work ,connected up a earth where the factory plug had none but the aeropro plug did,great all working,park car in shed.

next morning went to sort out electric aerial(motor working but no up or down),removed from bracket and left connected,ignition on,door beeper slowly stops beeping(quieter and

quieter then nothing),

stereo not working now.

test red wire from stereo(ign on acc),power good,test yellow wire from stereo very faint power but only after switching ign on,

(still no door beeper and no radio power)

run power from other switch(from one of the climate control plugs)to the yellow wire,door beeper works and stereo works,

so some how after removing the electric aerial from its

bracket,and fitting a new better battery,im looseing voltage to the yellow wire on the adaptor(also tested on oem plug side and same there),

also since this has been happening the battery light is now on in the dash,checked and rechecked both earth strap and pos lead at battery end,

at soem stage during all of this i was moveing the aerial about while still connected and noticed a change in the beeper sound,but since no beeper..

un plugged the elec aerial ,no change,

all seems good and there is plenty of cranking power when starting the engine...

help please!

Hey Jamie, you checked all the fuse? i just replace my died battery today on my R33 Gtst with stereo sound system. and then after that i start my car then the battery light is on on my dash and no power on the radio as well. Pretty much same what you having right now. but have power on window/light/Air cond etc. And then i went back to SuperCheap because i got the battery there, the guy checked for me and my power was on 10.5v on starting engine and V doesnt go up when we rev the engine. And then he said to me, the alternator is broken and need to get it replace as soon as possible otherwise it won't charge the battery and the battery will go flat very fast. I am not 100% sure he is right but i will go around and ask about the alternator.

hey thanks for the replies,actually after the post from DVS JEZ,I went back and went over the fuse`s again,

found 2 were in fact buggered even though to look at they seemed fine.

so thanks guys much appreciated,your prompts lead me to sorting it out.

I spent hours pulling my hair out over something I should have checked more carefully.

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
