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.

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

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

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 :thumbsup:)

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

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.

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.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
