just a quick question tho... The plastic insert for the bottom din... How does that go in... and do you need to buy the nissan one or is it just a standard insert you had to screw in??

Nissan one screws straight into the factory bracket (if you still have it, see pictures). I didn't have much luck with aftermarket ones, Pulsar ones from 2000-2001 (I think...) are cheap and fit fine.

great guide :)

Will definitely use it to change my head unit. Has jap jvc unit in it and have a lot of touble playing cd's. Been told it could be due to weak laser. Wont find a track.

NS,

how bout a door speaker, amp and sub install guide? :rave:

Went to Nissan was told the Pulsar one will not fit and to get this one for a FWD Pintara... I said u sure cause it doesent look right... Yes yes im sure i know what im doing...

Take it home... out by a mile...

Return to Nissan... wanta bracket to fit... took in the original OEM housing from the 33... Guys says no refunds on incorrect purchases... I say get f%$ked cause he was a smart arse about it... He kicks me out and says your not welcome here again...

Now i have no bracket nor a Nissan dealership to get parts from...

Hey guys, i just have a crappy tape deck in my series 1.5 gtst and not a double din peice, i have a tray with a door under it and was wondering if i fit a normal din headunit can i still just use this, as i think this would look heaps better than a tray.

I know it has already been asked.  But does anyone know if the wire colours are the same for the R32?

Installed a head unit today. The BNR32 wires were different colours to the R33 as posted. For the benefit of anyone else with an R32:

yellow - constant 12V

blue - acc / switchable 12V

blue(red trace) - luminance/dimmer

You can suss it out easy enough with a multimeter, and work out the speakers with a D-cell battery. The plug that has the power wires on it also hosts the front speakers. The other plug has the rears and the factory amp.

If I remember, I'll post the colours for the speakers, but I've left the old plug in the car and cant remember those ones 100%.

Hi,

Just a quick question. What's the luminance/dimmer wire for and is very important? do i really have to hook it up since I cant find the correspond wire from my pioneer (DEH-770) head unit.

The dimmer wire is responsible for dimming the head unit when the lights are on. You know how when you turn the headlights on the climate control dims? It's just the same, but for your stereo. Some stereos don't have that feature, which is prob why you can't find it on the DEH-770.

If you aren't using it, just tape up the wire or blank it off, it's not important if you can't use it.

Thanks for your response Mark.

That blows dude. I'd complain to ACC. :)

Greg,

I need HELP!!!!!!!!!! On Saturday night a friend and I were changing the deck to my new JVC deck. We rigged everything up and tested and it worked fine. After fixing all that we had heaps of time left over so we decided to rig my subs and amps as well.

I had to find a ground for the amp so I decided to use the same grounding point as the one for the battery. When I unsrewed the bolt for the wire to the battery and spark went off. Thinking t was nothing I left it and fished the job. When we turned the deck on the reception was crap for the radio and the cd player on the deck would not work. I can't even eject my cd out of the damn thing.

Have I just screwed up my deck and maybe the whole bloody thing?

P.S the instructions were great. Thanks man

Regards,

John

Hi all,

I've just completed a quick guide to installing/replacing the head unit in an R33. Please check it out and let me know any comments or if I've forgotten anything important.

I hope someone out there will find this useful.

Cheers,

Greg.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
