yeah the red wire would be the constant power wire,the fuse is there in case you have a short or problem in the wiring which would then blow the fuse instead of your nice stereo,if the fuse is blown there is usually a short in the system somewhere,a fraid wire or incorrect earth,its only 12volt so can't hurt you much-lol

Ah yeah that makes sense lol. I will have to look over it again tonight and see if I have to re-wire anything seeing as though it was after a few beers I decided to make a start on it haha :whistling

you could put the red wire in with the other power wire if you are not using a loom

anyways worst that should happen is you will blow a fuse as long as they have fusible links in the lines-lol

SUCCESS! turns out that random wire was the constant power. Dont know what thw other red wire was for. Maybe it was on old one? Ah well the head units in and rockin so im not complaining haha.

Although in true vn fashion another problem arises. My odo has now decided it reads 555555 :s

haha tell me about it! My VX was the same - I'd fix something on it, it would be good for a couple of days then BOOM! something else needed to be fixed lol. Ah well, thats how the cookie crumbles!

 

[corhijasna]

yep-is always the way

So it's been a little bit since any updates, but we have progress! lol

Got my mate Adam over last night and we changed over the shocks. Awkward moment when you pull out your old gas shocks and oil comes out as well :/ haha



Shocks were ####ed to say the least. Pushed down on them and they didnt return lol. Wheel alignment will come soon as well as new exhaust. Took her down to the exhaust shop here in pakenham this morning to see if they could fix the rust hole but the dude said it was too big to fix and too much rust. New redback 2.5" pipe & rear muffler fitted for $165. They couldn't do it today as they have to order it in oh well i'll have to wait until during the week.

For now, heres a couple of pics. Haven't got any new interior ones yet as it looks like a bomb has hit it inside haha I need to get the vacuum on to it.

So not much progress since last post. Exhaust has been done, and the dude patched up a few holes in my centre muffler while he was at it. Was hoping to have a roadworthy check done by now but all mechanics here in Pakenham are busy until well after christmas oh well I dont really have the money at the moment to register it (damn christmas taking what little dosh i have lol). I have some interior pics (finally) though.

Hopefully in the new year she will be all roadworthy and registered, ready for some cruising! :yahoo:

 

[WazzaVN]

Yet it's still the most roadworthy vn in pakenham haha! Can't wait till she's done so we can line it up with the vp lol.

looks nice and clean,at least with the extra time you have you can go over and over it-lol,just to check she's all sweet-good luck with the rwc,you should be good by the looks
