Hay guys,

need some direction with tracking down where this static noise is coming from.

i just have the basic mp3/cd head unit with std front speakers, spilts in rear doors and sub + amp in boot.

. now the issue is with the RADIO only, CD's and aux input are fine. i had the original antenna connected which was terrible, then i tried a plugin non powered option.. again terrible. then i purchased one that connects to dimester circuit and 12v.

when the car is on accessories power the radio seems fine and very clear. as soon as the igition is turned on the static starts and reception is poo again. there is no engine/wine noise just static like you have really bad reception.

what should i be doing to fix. different ground for head unit? check 12v line ( for what i dont know )?

driving me insane!! :domokun:

:thanks:

Spark plugs.

Its old school I know, but was the first thing that came into my head. Can't remember which way around- need some of the old timers to tell us- but Plugs either with/without resistors create bad effects on radio signals.

I believe its the "R" in the plugs name that designates it as a resistor plug.

shoot me down if I'm wrong.

Ignition or acc?? depends where your ignition is coming from, may have found an ignitiion wire with something active ie fuel pump, try using your power supply from an acc/ ign supply rather than an ign only wire.

ok radio fixed...

the plug that connects into the ariel wiring must be connected to 12v. i think its yellow with a black stripe. connects about 3 inchs back from the 2 prong plug and comes out with all the standard radio wiring. once i connected it to the accessories 12v every station was perfect :)

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
