Replacing The Stereo Wiring In A S1 R33

Ok, I'm sick of the crappy speakers in the front door and the lack of any other speakers! So I'm planning to put in 6" in the stock holes and maybe a removable sub box in the boot. Now while I'm at it I figured I'd replace the standard stereo cabling with something that has more shielding (probably coax).

Has anyone done this before, and if so how big a job is it?

- are the wires run internally? do I have to pull up the interior floor to get at them?

- are the wires fixed in any way? - am I able to just tie the new wire to the old wire and just pull it through? [don't laugh this works really well on yachts :-) ]

Not too long. If you're good, you can do it in a day easily. That being said, I got my installer to do it

(FHRX, who is also on the forums - blatant plug: if you need some work done in Sydney, go speak to Marty!)

The stock door wiring doesn't run straight through, it uses body plugs. ie you can't pull it through without some fiddling around. Easier to just run new wiring through another grommet which is about half way down your door, and pull through that.

To access the wiring going to the back of the car, you just need to rip out the back seats and the remove the door sills to expose if (you can follow it back).

It really depends on what you want: how fancy the system is, any special features you want, sound deadening (usually recommended), etc - the more complicated, the more you'll pay. But he's not expensive by any means.

Obviously the best way to get a quote is to drop in and see him, but you can also send him an email or give him a call.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The price isn't the issue, it's how hard my fuel pump is to remove now. I fabricated a custom bracket so my pump sits on the very bottom of the tank (I ran the tank down to 5L remaining to test it, works well). But it is a fkn NIGHTMARE to get the pump down into the tank now =/ words can't describe how much I hate fighting with the fuel pump/hanger now. The other issue is reliability, I'm driving down for WTA in a couple of months, I'd be less then impressed if I was half way to Sydney from Brisbane and my pump fails again =/ The other issue I had was my car battery was slowly failing, with low battery voltage my fuel pump couldn't keep up with what the reg was asking from it. I've replaced the battery and my fuel pressure is back to being perfect.  As for the low voltage situation that killed my previous battery, I've got a 150amp alternator sitting on my desk waiting to go in. Fingers crossed that will sort that issue.

      R32 Nostalgia

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
