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...

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
