R33 Stereo Installation Guide

[Revhead]

Nah you don't use the outside bracket... you bolt the Nissan factory stereo mounts to the sides of your new head unit and then it just bolts in the same way the stocker came out.

Has anyone installed the DEh-8500MP or DEH-850MP!!!!

I installed it yesterday but the outside bracket was too large to fit...does this mean i have to pull the headunit out further from the chasis so the frame can fit???

Thanks in advance

I'm guessing you mean the surround, around the outside of the unit? If you have a look, I had to redrill the factory bracket back about 10mm to get the whole surround to fit under the console surround.

Nice guide bruv! Just installed mine, how hard is it to throw in the pulsar tray? What year Pulsar is it from? Is it a good fit? How much $$$? Ive just got an empty space there! Looks ugly as!!

Cheers!

I believe it was from the current model, it's just a standard Nissan part which they would use across all Pulsars I guess.

I had the same problem. I used a mini angle grinder to shave a few mm off each side of the surround and now fits perfectly.

$25 and screws straight into the factory bracket, no problems.

nice tut - but here's what happened to me last week...

i worked out how to pull her apart myself - got it out and cut off the stocko JAP steareo connectors..

I used a test lamp to find the constant 12V and switched 12V, I then used a AA battery to locate speakers wires.

I hooked it all up using auto elect clips with crimp tool...

when I had it all up and going - the unit wouldn't light up!!! I have no idea why - all fuses are fine and there is power there (test lamped) - BTW, the colours are different to mine

Great Guide man Well done!!!

i got a a pulsar that i use for sound comps which currently has a sony XAV7W with DVD player as my head unit, kicker revolution 6 inch spilts kicker 6x9 and two 15inch kicker comp Vrs running via two Kicker 4 channel amps. Are these subs better suited to a ported/vented box or a sealed enclosure, as i listen to R&B music i like the deep sub bass style of the music to pump from the sub. WHICH SHOULD I USE?? SEND ME A MSG TO TELL ME

CHEERS

[Revhead]

I'll post this on the forum rather than a message - the whole point of a public forum is to share knowledge (or lack thereof )

With that sort of cone area, I would definitely put them in a sealed box. With two 15s you don't really need ported boxes to make big low-down bass.

If you're going for SPL though, a properly set up, ported box with give you the numbers. Keep in mind that with a ported box, because you have to tune the ports for a narrow frequency range, sound in that frequency range will be much louder than the rest of the range. If you play a sine wave from, say, 10Hz through to 150Hz, and you have your box tuned to 25Hz, the sub will be noticeably louder at 25Hz than at 50. Yes, you can 'tune' a sealed box to give better response at a given frequency range, but overall they are a much smoother, more consistent setup.

In a nutshell

Sound quality: Sealed

Volume: Ported

Nice work mate, This is probably the most detailed installation guide i have seen......very neat

Ive actually got a kenwood double din in my 33 but it doesnt play CD R's

so im getting rid of it and just installing a standard cd palyer, so ill definately refer back to this guide.

Cheers!!!

Impressive. It will come in handy when my skyline arrives.

By the way the red/purple wire is luminance/dimmer. You can find the same wire on the cigarette lighter. Also im allmost positive that is the same deck (the one removed in the guide) that you will find in a 98 nissan patrol.

hey,

great guide mate will use it 4 sure...

does ne1 know how 2 get the bak parcel tray out of these 33's so i can put better speakers in..just confused me and gave me a head ache...

[Revhead]

Yep - you have to pull the back seat out (do a search, I think there is a how-to on that somewhere), and pull the grilles off the speakers and remove the child restraints. Between the speakers there are a couple of clips, my preferred method of getting these off is to slide my hand under the parcel tray carefully (palm up) and feel around until you find the clips. Once you've found them, get your fingers as close to the clip as possible and push up until it pops out. Don't push on the clip itself because it'll probably push through the weak fibreboard parcel tray. Repeat for the other clips (mine has a total of three if I remember correctly). Then just pull the parcel tray out.
