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:)

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
