R33 Import Audio Questions

Hey there people!

Been lurking for a while now. I've recently purchased a Black R33 from Autoworx in Perth (who were great btw) and have a few questions related to the audio system in the car. Things to keep in mind are that this is my first skyline, I'm no rev-head (I just love the lines of the R33 & wanted to have a car with more than 80kW ONCE in my life :() and have no experience tinkering with car-electrics besides changing out the tail-lights in my old car for newer ones.

It came with a E3302 CMT head unit which is 2-Din or something from Japan (Eclipse). After literally spending two hours tonight clicking around a japanese-only site looking at the link names, I've figured out that I'm not crazy, and that the unit literally will only tune in the range of 76-90mhz FM, which obviously is a far cry short of my 92.9 & 93.7 easy listening stations. What I've ascertained is that I need some sort of FM band expander/tweaker but am unsure about who to get in contact with in WA to purchase & have it installed... It apparently goes on the antenna and that's not something I wish to be messing around with.

Secondly it came with some big Kenwood speakers attached in the back, which were removed for compliance for child restraints, but from what I can tell it already has a stock child restraint and it was just the government being anal, since my street-legal Lancer CE has the exact same child restraint mechanism, and was purchased from Mitsubishi Australia! I've removed the extra restraints but I have no idea how to attach the speakers back up... there doesn't appear to be enough wires to get power to both of the speakers. Anyway, so after about an hour of fiddling I decided to wait till after uni exams and take it to a professional... The question is... What professional? Any recommendations in Perth???

I think that's about it for now... with those two questions answered I'll basically have a fully functioning audio system rather than just the current... front-speaker only with CDs :banana:

Any and all help is appreciated!

Well thank you very much Chris! Once exams are over I'll give him a call. It's amazing what people can do to their cars, I spent hours last night just trawling the forums looking at the pictures, projects, DIY guides... It's going to be fun :whistling:

Thanks again!

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
