just got my car back from compliance and all that and the stereo wont turn on. when i test drove the car the stereo worked...does anyone know why it might have stopped? it's on of the stock head units for the '95 R33 GTS-T. it's got a single DIN with a tape that look like the main unit...then one above it with a cd cartridge that holds 3 cds. it doesn't look like it's getting any power at all...any ideas.

cheers mark,

if you're lucky they could have shorted you and blown a fuse

if you're unlucky they may have managed to disconnect a valable wire such as your main, remote or earth to the head unit:) will be fun to find, when in doubt - get out your multimeter and start at the back of hte head unit, if its recieving full power on the yellow wire, a signal on the red when your key is on ACC etc, and the earth is strong. then i would be asking your compliancers to replace what they blew up

not that i can see how they managed that:)

well i checked the fuse box under the dash on the drivers side...a friend who knows a bit of japanese said he thought it was the one on the right 5 up from the bottom. it was a 10A fuse. looked fine to me, replaced it and nothing different. what should my next move be...?

Did the radio pick up stations when you test drove it? During compliance they fit a fm band expander thing so you can pick up aussie stations. They may have stuffed up the installation of this, take the stereo out and have a look. It will look like a box that is plugged in between the aerial and the head unit.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
