All is good!

------------------------------------------------

OK what have I done wrong now?

I tested the lines correctly and they worked, however now the unit doesnt power on.

I test the ACC (when key is in) there is power.

I test the BATTERY (permanent 12v) and the tester doesnt light up.

Whats wrong???

------------------------------------------------

Hey, I just pulled my headunit that came with the car out.....

Followed the http://r33stereo.groovesystems.net/ guide very good..

However, between the BATTERY / ACC / GROUND lines there seem to be a small black box marked "filter & fuse box" now there is a fuse inside and a coil thing.

Question is: Do I need to use this in my headunit install (ie. connect the head unit wire via this box? The headunit I want to install is the same one that is shown in the guide. JVC one.

Thanks!

You need an inline fuse when wiring the new HU in for the power wire. I would get rid of the stock one and replace it with another one, there only a couple of $'s.

How come? so for all HU installs you need to have a inline fuse between the BATT/ACC/GROUND?

Wont the one I have now work?

This one doesnt look stock. Check attatchment.

Like any fuse mate its there to protect your wiring and what its attatched to in the event of a short/fault. The one you have now is an inline fuse/with resitor which i have no idea why its there like that, thats the Japanese for you???

The HU will have a fuse in the back already protecting it (around 30a) but adding another one off your power wire will not hurt at all and if you have killed a surge before it even enters the hu (not just leaving the inbuilt fuse to protect it) then theres less likleyhood that anything will get damaged either.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
