ok, so i read the diy which was handy but unfortunately the pictures aren't working and i have a poor command of stereo terminology which made it a little hard to understand. mainly i don't know what an ISO is. is that just the white and red plugs?

now i have a feeling this was covered in the diy but when i took the stereo out i was confronted with a white plug (attachment) instead of the ol' white and red plugs needed for my new head deck. is there just an adaptor i can buy which will convert this? also, in the top middle-ish of the picture you can see there's a wire clip thing that just sat under a bolt in the old head deck. what's this for and do i need it? because my new head deck has nowhere for this thing to hook in. cheers! sorry if my descriptions are poor :thumbsup:

from the picture you posted up it aprears to be a clarion plug.thats not an ISO plug.

these are ISO plugs

is the other end of the white plug's wires solderd into the loom coming out of the car? if they are are the factory plugs still attached or have they been cut off?

if there cut off your out of luck and will need to solder in the new loom that came with your CD player.

if they havnt you can purchase some adapter plugs to go from the nissan plugs to an aftermarket radio harness such as the one from your CD player.

and no no one makes a plug to go from that white one to one for another radio.

the black wire is an earth coming from the clarion plug (white one) and needs to be earthed to a decent sized bolt.

ok, so took it apart again and got some more snaps.

so as you can see the old head unit has a bolt for the earth to slide into and the new head unit doesn't. do i need it?

new head deck

and here's what the clarion cable goes back into

and just to clear up, the black plug is power and the grey is for the dash controls? i thought it was the other way round in the diy, but the black was the one plugged into the head deck and the grey one was just loose.

and lastly, what the hell is this for?? it was just loose.

oki doki,the way your old head unit was earthed was just dodgy and lazy.it should have been earthed to a decent bolt or screw arount that area,theres one just under the rubber gear shifter boot that you can use.

from the look of the plug on the back of the new unit you have it apears to be a sony so you will need to get yourself some of these

http://www.aerpro.com.au/list.php?pcode=AP...=10&cat_sno=

that one is to suit the cars plugs

http://www.aerpro.com.au/list.php?pcode=AP...=10&cat_sno=

and that one to suit your CD player,they will interconect in the middle so you you end up with one lead that goes from your car to the CD player.i beleve some people have had issues with the plugs not working because the earth in the new plugs was not correct.so you will have to cud the earth wire off the car side of the plugs and put an eyelet terminal on it and earth it to a decent place (as i mentioned before).

the big black plug in your seccond to last picture is your antenna plug. i dont know what the grey one is,possibly the trigger wire for the booster that goes with the antenna in your front windscreen.if you plug it all in and you find you get really poor radio reception then that is more then likly what it is and you will need to hook the P CONT or ANT CONT wire up to it. if your radio only has the ANT CONT that is fine.

the big black plug in your last picture apears to have been taped into the power for the cigy lighter so is obveiously not factory and you can just leave it be.

The Aerpro plugs are available from autobarn,strathfeilds etc etc,if they dont have them off the shelf they can be orderd in for you,they will cost you between $14.99 and $20 each.

hope that sorts you out mate!

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
