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

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
