Hi,

I have just bought an after market head unit for my 1987 skyline silhouette,

i cannot find any wiring diagrams for the old 8 pin plug and ive seriously tried to figure out what goes where with the multimeter but the pins all seem to share a connections so im totally confused, lost and majorly f...ing annoyed after 3 hours.

does anyone know the pin configeration for this?

what is your origin out of curiosity (pm me.).

R31Skylineclub forums have some info in their stereo section. Here's one link hopefully helps

i have no problem mounting the head unit, i just cant get to the wires, it looks like i need to remove the dash to place new wires properly, how do i do this?

Just pay a car audio joint over $100 and they will sort out your issue correctly fused and all wiring soldered and correctly insulated.

You have wasted so much time now and noone on a forum can teach you how to install headunit.

Id be getting it done properly with a warranty on labour if anything goes wrong your covered.

You can take 12V+ Constant, 12V+ Accessory, and Earth from the plug. Work out which is which by using the multimeter.

If you're running the speakers straight from the headunit, then run speaker cable from the back of the headunit outputs to each door / the parcel shelf.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
