Hey guys,

If i can find a place and get the RCA cables , anyone wanna have abit of a meet and greet somewhere or something, to give me a hand to get the RCA's laid properly once and for all, and get em into the boot ready for the box / amp [at home of course atm or if its away from my place or what not... ill bring it wid me but i can do the tuning or so i hope :) ] it would be much appreciated...

where is somewhere i can get A) FUSE for the power wiire from battery to amp... and secondly RCA cables...

Answer to question A:

You can get fuses and RCA's for car audio stuff from JB hifi or any other car stereo place. The best thing to do (and the easiest) is just buy one of the wiring kits. They come with power lead, fuse, fuse holder, earth wire, terminals etc.

I havent had any experience with audio stuff in skylines though so cant help you out there. Just give it a shot, you cant really stuff it up, just make sure the power cables and the RCAs go down opposite sides of the car.

Ok ive got a r32 so the batts under the bonnet. You can get the fuses and rcas from anywhere as i mentioned.

Most people are at work at the moment, including me. Come along to a cruise or meet and im sure there will be heaps of people willing to give you a few pointers.

RCA's, like rhett said are very easy to get. Go down to JB hi fi or Autobarn whoever. They all have them. How many channels does the amp have? What do you plan on powering with the amp, subs obversely, but also any splits or 6x9's?

Oh and what area of town are you in?

its a mono block 1500watt Epsilon amp... one channel i believe... ;)

and i just dont know what gauge i need... ive got the biggest fitting gauge power wire that i can just slot straight into the ports in the amp.. but if i could go bigger if its of any use / enhance anything and theres a way to get it in i would....

i just need RCA's and a fuse to put int he power wire...

problem is, A) i dont wanna damage the liner one bit and id rather the help of someone thats done it before so i dont screw up :(

Unless your running mega power for some sort of competition car stero i think the wire you have should be fine. The only probelm i can see is running the rca cables through the car. I did this but running it under the carpet in the middle of the car, under the seat and up into the boot. Power wont be and issue as the battery is in the boot already, so just put in the fuse between the battery and the amp, and wire in the power cable. Dont forget a decent grounding cable aswell. If you need help and feel like a drive to Wheelers Hill (near glen waverley) pm me, i will be trying to fit my cooler tomorrow but will still see if i can help.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
