G'day all, Was going to tackle my stereo system today consisting of Door speakers, Rear Amped 6x9's, Sub, Headunit & Amp. After learning earlier today that I'm going to HAVE to re-wire my door-speakers, this has set me back a little as I need to get 14g speaker cable. I feel completely stupid asking this, and I'm certain I've just over-thought on it and have ended up questioning what I think is correct: I can remove the adapter that's clicked into the stock unit pictured here: (As it holds no use as when I removed the stereo, it's been replaced with one from a wreckers due to writing on the parts in marker etc etc.) I've done stereo installs on ALL my cars but have never come across this, as every stereo I've removed/replaced has always been factory standard. So I plan to re-wire it to the new loom on the Pioneer DEH Headunit going in, as this is how I best know about doing installs. It's safe to cut as close to the stock adapter/harness pictured here, and go about wiring these wires to the new harness that came with my Pioneer headunit?: FINALLY Can anyone tell me which colour is ACCESSORIES/BATTERY/ILLUMINATION on a 1989 R31 GXE Skyline, or supply a Stereo Wiring Diagram for one? As I've searched almost ALL day even thoroughly, through sticky threads with little to no luck. Thanks in advance.

Hey, just imported my stag (s2 rs4, dayz) and picked it up about three weeks ago. Been sorting it out slowly, still needs coil packs but will come with the tax check! Only other thing I need to do is to find out how to get power back to the head unit! Have done the fuses, but still won't power on. Along with the head unit is a tv screen/ gps/ mobile phone system. Not expecting it to work but there is about 2kgs of wiring just for that thing, and it's plastic welded to the floor. If I dont have to try and pull all of it out it would be awesome! Cheers in advance for any help

Well, didn't I make a shock discovery today? Ready to embark on my speaker replacement phase, before getting into the more laborious task of doing the amps and subwoofer for the boot, I had prepared myself with MDF to make the adapters for my 6.5" Boston Acoustics to fit into the 10" Bose space. But once the door trim was off, I was greeted with evidence that my Sports Premium package did not have any Bose 10" speakers but rather a crappy Blaupunkt 6.5" in each door instead along with the large tweeter located next to the door lock handle! I still proceeded with the upgrade and installed the tweeters in the side mirror finishers with a little creativity and a lot of professional effort on my part but now this throws a major spanner in the works, which will be confirmed once I remove everything from the boot floor to probably find not a single Bose amplifier exists either. This will entail rewiring the doors to accommodate the separate feed the tweeters will need from their crossovers as well as taking the speaker outputs of the head unit and feeding them to the JBL MS-8 DSP I've got. If I'm feeling really adventurous, I may look into modifying the head unit so that I can extract the line level output for the MS-8 instead. My only other hope is that I find the wiring harness for the Bose set up in there anyway and just buy a Bose headunit to replace the existing one, again, provided the harness will accommodate this changeover. Somehow, I doubt that's going to be the case. I'm guessing the Bose stereo was also an option in Japan when getting an SP?

Hi all, been keeping an eye on this forum before I made purchase and it help immensly. I do have a question - my rear speakers don't fire up. Its a Xanavi climate control setup, and i have played with the balance and fader. Any ideas ???
