After installation of the deck there was no lights inside the car, no room lights or those reading lights?? any possible wire i could of connected wrong or cut which wasnt ment to be cut? colors or any details would be a great help peeps!

Unfortunatly i didnt no about this site when installing so couldnt follow the guide :D

Very common problem for home stereo installs. People get the dimmer wire mixed up with the Earth..... When the parkers are off its an earth, when they get switched on - its alive, and will throw the fuse.

There are 3 fuse panels in the R33, when I blew mine Im sure I replaced one in the boot.

Sumo, if this was the case when i put the parkers on wouldnt the deck turn off and throw the fuse? ive checked boot fuses, checked the fuses in the cabin, none blown? do i need to re wire it? any ideas as to what colour wire i have done wrong?

did you use a multimeter to identify the wires?

If not, now would be a good time.

First things first you have to find the bad fuse, one must be gone somewhere, sometimes it is hard to see, swap them with your spares on by one with the deck off.

Thats another good point SKYL9, that rheostat might have a wire off it.

BlackR33, Yes, first time it goes to blow a fuse, it will turn off for a couple of seconds - once blown it will not go out.

Use a test light for fuses, And yes, I did the same thing when I first did my stereo. I had no interior light/dash light/cigarette light

nah . you have killed 3 fuses. there is one in the back for tail lights the interior light one is in the panel above your right foot.

if you go out and buy an adapting plug for $20 it will save you the headache of the above and also another $80 or so that strathfield or the like will charge you to fix it. ( I charge $85 to fit one..)

this is really doin my head in, because ive checked every fuse in the car, when i got this problem i got a test light and tested every single fuse, first thing i did.

depends on who complied it. most of the ones I work on have a seriously botched item literally thrown in. if its the factory item then you have killed a fuse. those things arent that easy to kill..

Mate, have your stereo pulled out and go see an auto elec, they should not need more the 10 minutes to tell you whats wrong..... Just explain the symtoms, and they should be able to sort things out. It is a common problem with people that install their own stereos. I have seen a few blown up stereos from incorrect installation - just because people think they can save a few dollars by doing it themselves.

I've installed countless stereos - and I don't consider myself any sort of installer but I've never blown anything up.

How does this sort of stuff happen? Is it something I'm not thinking of or isit the most obvious stuff like shorting wires while they're being cut and stuff like that?

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
