Need some help finding some info on the wiring for factory r33 setup....

but mine has the optional amp and stacker.

Im looking to upgrade the amp and headunit and remove the stacker as it has died (for the second time.)

hoping to find a wiring diagram from the amp and maybe the stack so that i might be able to use some of the factory wiring to install the new equipment.... ie use acc. ON power speakers running from the amp ect.

i have been able to find a fair bit about the factory head units wiring...

but nothing on the optional setup...

Any iteas ect would be great.....

Well, for the amp and speaker wiring.. if you want to reuse the factory cables, it might be quicker to hook up a multimeter?

You should be able to find positive, negative, and then the remote wire when the ignition is on. Really though, you should run new power cables for your new amp, and maybe just use the remote wire. You'd probably have to adapt the input wires to RCA's for your new amp. Not sure how easy it would be to do that.

From there, you just need the speaker wiring. I think you could use the continuity mode of a multimeter to find each speaker. When you positive to one, and negative to the other (power off) the meter should beep. i.e find a wire with a stripe on it (negative) probe it with the negative meter lead and then probe the other wires until it beeps. Then you have one speaker's positive and negative narrowed down. After you have all four, hook them up one at a time to your new amp and find out which is right, left front etc.

As it's a good idea to run new power for the new amp, it's probably not a bad idea just to wire the rear speakers directly off the new amp... since they're just in the parcel shelf. The fronts, sure.. it's thin wire, but it's quicker and easier than running new cables through the cabin.(likewise with the remote wire)

ok that one isnt that bad. the speakers are found on the amp (all 4.) you should be able to ID these with a meter. the best approack would be a small 4ch amplifier in place of the original and run RCA cables to it.

Fair call, Chris. I didn't know this!

Do you know if he can reuse the input wiring off the amp? Is there anything that could be re-crimped onto RCA plugs?

If not, then you can only really reuse the front speaker wiring, and the remote wire. No point using the rear speaker wiring, because the speaker terminals are just above the amp.

If you have to run new RCA cables, yer might as well run a speaker wire for the remote signal at the same time. I ran that, and the front speaker wire to the front.

the last one I did had a TV in it. same setup. everything was in the rear of the car. I pulled the lot out and ran RCA cables to the rear, added an amp and was done with it.

up to you for what you rerun. cabliing was there and it was a low buck job so I reused it.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
