Oh, by the way, there is no antenna signal amplifier.

The way these antennas work that are in the glass is that they need a small ammount of current to run through them and it produces an electromagnetic field which does some bullshit that makes it work better. (The guy that sold me my speakers/amp said that to me)

So you need to connect that antenna wire to a power source, where REM is fine as its a 0.1A connection.

I am having a dumb day................

I have the same white plug covered in foam. The yellow/black wire comes out of the main dash wiring harness and goes into the plug and then follows the antenna wiring. I can't see where/how it was connected to the standard radio. Surely to turn on the antenna signal amplifier it would need a signal from the standard radio.

:( cheers :D

I wouldnt know, the stagea came to me with a headunit already in it (yes, oddly enough the exact headunit that i had ready to go into it :()

When i re-did the wires (they were horribly done), that black/yellow wire was connected to something. After i did the wires, i left it disconnected and then reception went crap. I asked the guy i bought my gear from and he said that in the glass antennas need a signal amplifier power wire. With my powers of deductive reasoning and the fact that there is no other bare wire at the back of the console area, I predict (and being connected to the anntenna wire by tape/foam) that the black/yellow is the signal amp.

Put it this way Gary, who really cares why(not how) it works, as long as it actually works.

I have the same, and I figured the other end of the yellow/black wire goes to the ignition, so it is pulling a little current all the time the car is running. I'm guessing though, as I didn't test it when I had it apart on the weekend...

Sorry I haven't read through all 44 posts... but there is a couple of mentions of how easy it is to remove the door front door trims, anyone care to share?

Cheers

Edit: sorry should have looked at page 2 first! :sick:

rear doors - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...dpost&p=2120795

Front doors - Pull off the top arm cover, undo screw. There is a screw where the door skin touches the dash and i think thats it. Run fingers around skin, off it comes, Unplug all the shit, there you go.

Thanks Alex, that's great.

Note: passenger window is not working, hope that it is just unplugged...

when the window doesnt move at all from the controls either side, i found the switch was just unplugged on the passenger side.

Plug it in and you will see.

Yes you are right, not plugged in... working perfect now of course.

Glenn, the S2 RS Four S has the air con controls in the second space, and the gauges in the top spot, so hopefully the wiring loom must be at least somewhat long enough to maybe stretch it to the lowest DIN slot.

Pull it out, it takes like 5 minutes with 2 screw drivers to find out what you need to know. The instructions Alex has put together are pretty good. Mine is a different set up with factory AV system but the wires running into the back of it are heaps long enough that I'd say there would be no dramas doing what you are asking.

how are the tweeters in the pillars hooked up on a series 2 .is it seperate wires at the head unit or interlinked somewhere in the wiring when my baby gets here im going to replace the headunit so im looking to find a wiring diagram or colour codes for the series 2 if different to series 1. how did u go with yours andy????

it was really easy mick, i havnt changed any of the speakers though, only head deck amp and subs. the factory speakers seem to do the job quite well. (im assuming they are factory)

i ment is there 6 sets of wires to the deck

nope, just the 4 sets from what i remember

thanks mate im about to wire a male and female 12 pin plug on to the stereo ready for when the car gets here then all i have to do is solder the female end in place of the original in the dash

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
