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

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
