hmmm... i think i pretty much got everything in correctly but i dont think the old stereo/cassette that was in my line had a wire directly to the battery... which is a ***er because my kenwood unit wont work (i think this is why it wont work im not too sure) as i cant find a wire to hook it directly to the battery... ive got it hooked up to some wire that on the old radio says "13.4v Back up" or something.

anyone got any clues on this one?

there should most definately be a +12v wire there with a constant 12 volts... get a multi meter and test all the wires (mainly red and yellow ones) for constant 12v and accesories 12v.

Hope this helps.

well i think ive done it... it turns on... plays my mp3 cds and what not... whether or not its gonna short circuit or not wont be known til whenever it burns down :)

i just ignored the diag that was on the nissan stereo and plugged them into where ever until it turned on... but i forgot to earth it and when i did it turned on whenever it touched the metal... so i assume its hooked up properly lol

instead of buying a digital multimeter u can just buy a test light, which is a pen looking thing with wire that connects to the car body(earth) and a little light in the pen. they r really really cheap. just go to a car shop like marlows(dont know if thats australia wide?) and it should be a few dollars:D

then just touch it on each wire and when the light turns on with the ancillary off(ie engine off) u have found the constant 12v positive battery wire u are after:)

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
