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:)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
