hey guys.... urgent help needed....

heres the problem me and Mr32_bigboy did an install in my r33 today, and for some reason [mind u EVERY PART IS BRAND NEW CABLING!!!!! from rca's to power to ground and rem wire... etc...]

problem is, everytime i start the car up , the amp goes into protection mode and both of us went everywhere to try and figure out what the hell is the go...

we disconnected the power and ground from amp to the subs.... and it still tripped out.... plugged it back in, disconnected the rca's and then started the car again and it didn't trip out.... plugged in the RCA's and then the subs worked...

now for some reason, the RCA's are brand new, nothing is damaged with them and the REM wire only has a join at the loom of the back of the head unit...

can anyone please help me out ?!??!?!?! id like to know, im sick of starting my car with the RCA's disconnected then haviong to replug them every DAMN time *sigh* just so i can have my subs

having a really thin pissy remote wire wont cause anything.... or having the stock battery grounding point on the chassis, is the same as my amps ground contact [same bolt aswell]....

please this is urgent that i fix this... im hoping i haven't ****ed anything, then again i dont see how seeing everythign even the AMP is brand new but 6 months ago so theres no more "warranty" with it....

i cant find any shorts... so all i can think thats tripping it, is an INPUT overload... but im lost *HELP!!!!!*

hrm figured out the problem.... it was put into the pre out and it didn't like it... plus the input level was set too high [gain on amp was too high for it to like me]....

so its now all turned back to min, and im getting the boys to tune it / give me some advice how i can get this system cranking a bit better... possibly need a gell cell battery wired up AND / OR a capacitor... if anyone has either please PM me and let me know.... ill be in the price range to buy one soon enuff cheers

ive only got 1 problem to sus out now and that is to figure out where this HUMMING noise in the subs is produced from... only the power wire [boot] and its across the other side of all the other wires *groan* only wire running with the RCA is the REM wire.. which is thin as all **** [which may be the problem... not sure ]

cheers guys...

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
