hey guys. I ended up replacing a few of the rubber fuel lines located in the boot yesterday. In order to do this I had to remove my amp which I've had for about a year now and had no problems with until yesterday. I made sure I put it all back together correctly but now when i turn the ignition one click over ( head unit and clock both turn on) the cigarrete lighter fuse blows every time (15 amp) and the amp doesnt switch on. I've tried disconnecting the amp and just turning on the ignition without having it hooked up but the cigarette fuse is still blowing. have I maybe pinched a wire in the boot or something that is related to the cigarette lighter. This is driving me crazy! you fix one thing and another problem surfaces lol maybe someone knows the wiring layout for an r33 gtst?

If thats all you did for sure ?

rca is pinched and grounded out or shorted now

Or blue trigger wire is dead shorting to ground

No other reasons unless your amp is wired to the cig lighter instead of battery lol god forbid , I have witnessed it before

Remove all blue wire , tape it up

Remove rca cables mark if needed for front rear etc , power up the deck is it blowning fuses still , yes ? You have other issues

Oh and amp ground missing can do it or fried amp inside or shorted speaker wires but doubt that if you didnt unwire the whole amp ( check close for 1 strand of stray copper on connections to place wires on the amp power and speakers all it takes is 1 to blow a fuse )

No , plug rca cable in while powered up one plug at a time ( volume muted or all the way down cause you will get a loud squeal when plugging in) if one blows the fuse repair or replace that rca of find the pinch point , the plate for the fuel pump ???

Next pop the blue trigger wire back on the amp( thin one near power and ground except old hifonics amps and maybe a few others)

If its still ok move amp back to mounting area , if that blows the fuse your grounding out or pinching a wire agaist metal

That should get ya fixed if not its a freak of nature out of the blue issue unrelated to your fixes

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
