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.

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
