My A/C clicks too... someone once said that it was on the heaterbox that the problem is. I still get different temps and everything, so I haven't been bothered to look into it. Let me know if you find the source of the cause!

Interesting about the dash plastic... I bought my car with none on it. It's just a really rough texture atm. If I try and clean it with kitchen paper, it shreds it. =-/

I want to paint it, but I CBF pulling the whole thing out and painting it. =-[

I'm suprised yours is rough. When the silicon/rubber comes off it is incredibly smooth and glossy - just balck palstic.

Only did it cause I had all the bits 9/10s out. Should have taken it off to start with - a lot easier getting the stereo in and out..

My ac works fine etc - just thought id ask in case there was a simple fix , while I had things out.

Heh... we don't know! I thought it was normal! =-[

Ben: yeah.. dunno man.. it hasn't been painted before. I think the clear was taken off ages ago, and the sun had its way with it

is it necessary to disconnect the -ve terminal of the battery b4 installation?

Yes, its a very good idea to avoid shorts + sparks while cutting and joining wires.

If you use a 10mm (i think) spanner it'll only take 30 seconds to take it off.

why does your air-con click, mine does the exact same thing and i'm art a aloss as to where to start with it.....

whewn I asked my mech about the air con clicking he said it was just the condenser turing itself on and off...

I just bought this stuff all at Autobarn, mainly because I'm lazy. Its a 2 min walk from where I work!

Wiring Harness (AP7550) - $19.99

Diversity Adaptor (AP348A) - $12.99 ***NOTE*** There is a AP348B, looks similar and costs the same, but not the same part. I made this mistake :)

Facia Kit (FP997417) - $37.99

Not 100% sure if the Facia Kit will work (it should, previous posts said 1995 and older Nissan parts would do... right?), will find out and post it up :O

EDIT - Decided to post up all the prices for all to see, and laugh at how ripped off I may have been :laugh:

great stuff mate very good guide! will be reffering to this again very soon. i already have an aftermarket HU but will be upgrading to a double din 7" screen, so in theory the current loom will hook straight up to my new HU? out with the old in with the new!

Great thread, the only place I found to have the correct wiring harness was Autobahn, Repco was out of stock and Supercheap auto don't have them in any store in Vic for the R33.

It was about $28 for harness and radio connection adapter.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
