I recently installed a wideband in my s1 c34 stagea. I cut the power and earth from the clock and used those. Now my problem is, now my dash doesn't store the trip a and trip b kms traveled, it just wipes it every time I turn the car off. Is the memory for that run through the clock loom somehow?

they don't have to be run through a relay. It is just like wiring any other gauge or head unit. a afr gauge is not going to draw that much current to warrant a brand new power run from the battery.

using the clock is a interesting one for a power source. the fuse probably blew while he was tampering with the wires.

my innovate diagram said to specifically run through a relay. along with everyone with an innovate

here is the install from the manual. If you read carefully it does not say you "must" use a relay. Says if in doubt. And draws 3 amp, your cigarette lighter draws more lol

Connect the RED wire to an isolated switched 12V source in your vehicle. A switched 12V source goes ON as soon as “key on” power is active. The circuit to which you will pull power from should be able to support a 3 amp draw. Make sure this connection is protected with a 5A fuse.

Circuits that share power with the vehicle’s stereo, ignition system, ECU, lighting, or fuel pump should not be used. When in doubt, create an additional circuit using an automotive relay available at any automotive parts supplier. See the next section for a relay installation diagram.

The BLACK wire should be grounded to a solid ground source. The best possible ground source would be the battery ground (-) post.

Yeah hadouken I must have done it when I was moving wires about when I was in there with the test light. That circuit has a 10A fuse, and given the wiring was already there and that's where I wanted to mount my afr display anyway, it made sense to tap into it. And as I've already found out, if it does trip the fuse, only the trip reading and clock are affected so I can still drive the car.

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
