That's a great guide :D . I will using it for the installation of my new head unit (although I don't have a factory head unit in the car). Where did you order the tray at the bottom from?

They're on the way... I just have to do the install first.

The tray is a current model Pulsar tray from Nissan.

Sorry about the size guys, sometimes I take cable for granted. I'll optimise the page better for dialup users tonight.

Nice guide :D The only suggestion I'd make is instead of using the terminal blocks, I would go to SuperCheap or similar and purchase a Nissan adapter. It plugs into the factory Nissan loom and has flying leads at the other end. No butchering of the factory wiring required! :)

If the speaker guide is as good as the head unit guide I'll use it too. Good job.

I'd love to but it's been about 18 months and I don't keep my packaging for that long :D

Here's what I do know: I bought mine from SuperCheap and it cost me about $5. You can get all kinds of adapters, like Nissan -> Kenwood, Toyota -> Pioneer etc, and also ones like the adapter I bought, which is a female Nissan plug going to flying leads, which you connect to the corresponding flying leads on the back of the plug supplied with your stereo.. If I go near SuperCheap (I live about a minute away) I'll get some more details and let you know.

The part I'm thinking of is an Aerpro AP7550 - Aftermarket Stereo to Nissan Harness. It was listed at $15.50 at SuperCheap, but as TT says, there's a pretty good chance they're not the only ones selling this kind of thing. Perhaps my price estimate was a little off though :D

I used an Aerpro double diversity antenna adaptor which I got from Autobarn, so I guess they stock them as well...

I wish I had of known about this earlier, oh well. :P

Here's the page with the wiring harness AP7550:

And the Nissan Diversity Adaptor AP348A:

Thanks heaps for the guide! Will be extremely useful (when I get my Skyline... soon).

I was just wondering, do you NEED to get the "Aerpro double diversity antenna adaptor" in order to get your antenna to work with your new stereo? Thanks.

King,

You don't necessarily -need- the adaptor if you can manage to rig up your own connector, but it's difficult as the factory connector is 2-pin (for the two antennas) combining two wires in to one.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
