Hi Guys,

just wondering what you'll think abt my sterio

i've got clarion in dash dvd touch screen, with tv tuner, 53 x 4 with 5.1 surround sound, 1000Watt Hertz Speakers in the front doors, with 4 tweeters, running off a baby dragster amp, i have 550 watt speakers in the rear running of the dvd computer, in the boot, i have 2 x 15" quad coil Digital Desgin subs, normally running off a 2000watt audison vrx amp which is spl tuned(blew it up gone for repair), so tempory amp is some alpine amp... which is running of a 15 farad (2000 jouels) compasitor, i've also upgraded the battery to a camping one...

the install is not finished yet... cause the amp getting blow on the last day of the install, we didn't bother finishing it off.... we're waiting for the amp to come back so we can paint and make the boot looking nicer....

i did most of the install my self, and my mate did the major wireing....

please tell me what you think....

hey man, just a question can u PM me the details of those guages u got on ur din shelving under ur dvd screen, i been hunting for those for too long to remember, and have had no luck, cheers guys...

also can u also send me any sort of help to get the wiring of RCA's etc from the headunit to the boot, as i dont want to pull up carpet that i dont need to, and do damage to the carpet or plastic and would like the carpet to go back to its original position so as to keep the clean newish look to it... cheers guys... PM asap about guages and info :DDDD

thankx

I see they cut out a bit to fit the dvd screen. So moving the ac dials would look crap as you will be left with an untidy finish...

I love the sub box (the boot) very ambishis... Lucky installslike this dont cost 20g's these days. But still not cheap....

thanx for the replies,

the reason y i i installed the screen where it is, cause the AC has that little angle on it, and it would of looked crap cutting and chopping... we did enough of that in the boot...

the dvd screen has a feature, you hoold the close button for 3 seconds, and it flips down so you can play around with the AC, then after 6 sec it flips back up...

i don't much rattles from the back end cause most of it has been fiber glassed, the boot is the only thing left to glass... pretty much the whole car neary ratthes on really low based songs...

yeah the set-up is worth abt 20 G's... but i never paid that much :>

PS. if only i met ya before i took the move a few weeks back to Melbz man... i coulda learnt alot from u, HEH :) i want that setup *pout* :D

learning as i go as per the messages mate... but yer, one thing i dont want to do is screw up :)

ya dont need to take the back seat out do u? cause ive heard how much of a **** they are ;/

intresting how your using suck a high rated cap, when really with that type of system 1 farad will do.......................... 15 farad is really a over kill since you will never discharge any amount from it. Plus the cap only smooths out your votage spikes/drops

yea i saw that 2, i wasn' gunna say anything, wish he lived down here so he could help out us boys that are trying to get some [at home learning] for audio work :)(

im a builders labourer so i got the hands on ability, but calculations no way... or artistic talent out the window 2 :D

so tell me how the fark do u know what guage to use for ur amp?

and what guage to use from amp to subs [seeing the sub box that got made only has speaker wire support which is uber gay, unless i wrap a larger guage around it, which i doubt would be of any use, prob fall off :)(((

andddd I NEED HELP ;/

like i said in the first post, my mate did the major wireing, and the wires running from the amp to the subs, is 170$ a metre, its high quallity speacker wire...

the reason why i got a 15 farad compasitor, is cause i wanted one and my mate said here's one, you can have it for 250$ i'm like sweet throw it in...

and the gauges model number is VD-100 can buy from www.jaycar.com.au

the gauges are a VU meter and voltage meter...

also i've got 2 gauge power wire running to the compasitor, and amps...

if you need help with your sterio, please e-mail me... its a lot easier...

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
