Questions: Fusebox, Reverse Beep, Boost gauge

[Tigger]

Hi all,

Just a few problems which are bugging me...i hope someone can help me out

QUESTION 1:

I have a R33 Series 2 Gts-t with auto transmission.

I was fiddling around with the radio the other day trying to install a new Mp3 unit. After i was all done, the radio wouldnt turn on! The red dot that blinks when the engine is off still blinks but the unit itself wont work even after starting the engine. Furthermore, the clock also doesnt work!

Thinking i had blown a fuse, i opened the fusebox next to the steering column and there were three blown fuses.

I havent replaced these blown fuses yet but i was wondering how many more fuseboxes there are in my car... some threads mentioned a passenger footwell fusebox, an engine fusebox, and a rear boot fusebox as well...???

Do all of these boxes exist? Where?

QUESTION 2:

How the hell do i turn off that annoying reverse beeper?!!?!?

Is there a simple wire i can cut or do i have to remove the whole dash to rip the damn thing out?

QUESTION 3:

When my car is idling and when under mild/little throttle, the boost gauge is sitting on the negative areas? What does this mean? Is this normal? Im just confused because negative would mean are is being pushed OUT rather than INTO the engine...

Im a n00b so be nice

Cheers~!

Q1 - fuse boxes are located in the boot, under steering wheel and under the bonnet.

Q2 - yeah that noise pisses me off too....if anyone knows how to disable it let me know too!

Q3 - The boost guage is displaying 'negative' (vacuum pressure) on idle because there is no boost being created. This is normal.

Q3 - the engine is simply running like a N/A engine, it's quite normal.

been searching ever were.. thought id ask here..

ive just installed a hks front mount side flowing intercooler... something like 400 wide and so on.. car runs great.. alot beta.. but just wondering.

When you installed a larger cooler and more piping.. does this make my vacuum boost lower on my boost guage?.. ive noticed its like 1.5 to 3 psi lower than it was before... wish i wrote it down from stock.. but i never new... thanx for anyone that can clear this up.. replaced all boost lines and all while i was doing this.. maby a older line was causeing higher vacuum ? thanx oh one other thing.. ive noticed my boost go up be like 1 psi or 0.5psi... but im gussing a larger cooler would do that?.. thanx
