hey guys

I installed my system today into my R33 and have come across 2 issues.

System works beatifully, but turn the volume up on a bassy song, the head unit just cuts power and resets itself and turns back on again in a second. Also when the parkers/lights are turned on, the unit turns off.

We have checked and changed earthing points, everything.

All I can think of is that the headunit is getting too much power and has some sort of protection mode that cuts it out, its annoying and quite frustrating.

A mate suggested this is a common problem in nissans, with the Luminecience wire affecting what happens when the lights are on and off - but we still dont know why the headunit cuts out when its turned up a little bit - very dissapointing.

If you can help itd be MUCH appreciated.

Kind regards

Kim

change the ground on the radio. you are using the lights wire as the ground. run the black wire to the frame of the car. if you have an orange wire tie that to the light wire ( red/blu )

what headunit?

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
