Hey guys! finally got my skyline!

N/A 98 R34 25GT :( (Im a P-Plater)

Anywayyy when i bought the car, it just had the stock tape player and the rear speakers were making weird noises, like when thers alittle bit of bass, you hear paper ripping noise(?). I think it may been damaged when it was getting compliancing done.

So my mate bought me a CD Player and Speakers :/ (Sony CDX-GT280 and Sony GTX1640)

I didnt look it up before, and thought it will be just plug and play kinda thing but its not! :(

I tried looking for tutorials or sumthing like that on the net but cant find any because the links are too old.

and the installations are so expensive! (JB HI FI)

I live in western suburbs sydney, Do you guys know any installers around this area?

how much you think it will cost me for head unit install and rear speakers?

Thanks guys!

hey mate, its a pretty basic job to get it done, the speaker, power, antenna etc colour code thing should be on the back of the stock tape player... just use that as i guide with the colour code for the new ones manual n go from there... cut the old one out, solder the new wires in plug it all in... put it back together n dun

rear speakers r peice of piss... only thing is in the 34 u will have 2 take the whole parcel shelf out, which means taking the whole back seat out lol... its pretty straight forward tho just a few bolts n awkwardness lol

btw where did u get ur car from??? as i recently traded mine off n i put the dodgy stock system back in lol

Hey mate i just imported a N/A R34 too and i had the stock system in it and have just installed the head unit and am doing the rest of the system atm it really not that hard to do. oh and the sound from your rears sounds like that the speaker may have blown but i may be wrong with that one.

if your not going to re-run new wire and just use the stock wiring for the time being which is the easy option to do i can give you a couple of tips.

1) go down to your local car audio store (Strathfield, Rdya, etc) and by a snap on wiring harness adaptor it seriously makes life so much easier it has all the colours already matched so all you need to do is solder the wires together and run the earth cable to an earthing point.

2) with the rear speakers cause your using the sony 6 1/2 they should go straight in and it is just a matter of re-attaching the wires.

3) if your not to happy doing that yourself then depending on where bouts you are try maybe fairfield car radio they are not to bad if you need a pro to do it.

4) if you dont want to pay someone i am happy to do it for you. it just means coming out my way (JDM Garage in SH)

Thanks so much guys

I'll give it a go myself as soon as i get my wiring harness.

btw whats an earthing point? and where is it? :S

i just found out i have to get a antenna conversion adapter aswell D:

for now ill try and install the headunit as soon as i get the wiring harness and the adaptor, oh and some soldering stuff :woot: i had a crap $5 one and it overheated and broke :D

thanks!

the earthing point is the ground wire 4 the head unit... the wire must be attatched to a metal point of the car... it should be the black wire of the head unit

good stuff on trying it urself but if u are unsure bout anything dun do anything till u get advice about it lol... yeh pretty sure every 34 with a stock head unit in it needs an adaptor mine was $20 from jb so nuffin at all... u prolly know this but just make sure u tape over the exposed wires after u joined them n soldered them lol common sense :D

good luck mate! :woot:

Yeah you do need an adaptor and if you need an easy earthing point where the gear stick bracket is held in there is a screw which u can use as your earth point and if you wanna be fancy instead of using electrical tape you can use heat shrink.

if you got any more questions dont hesitate to ask and post some pics when ur done ey

Good Luck

ok guys :)

i had a look behind the original cassette player and it has 2 Adaptors thats going into the casette player, 13cables all together.

I just had a look at the adaptor on Rdya website and it only has 1 adaptor. So do i just buy that one and will have no trouble installing it

or do i have to buy 2seperate adaptors? Ill post a pic soon

if its just the adaptor 4 the sony head unit its simple, just cut the old adaptor out with abit of wire left on it incase u wanna re-install the stock head unit if u sell the car or sumtin... referring to the back of the stock head unit find out which wire is which n wire it appropriatly up to the sony adaptor (make sure the ground wire is hooked up AND grounded before putting it all back together)... the sony head unit should only have one plug n the stockie has 2 plugs... i just thought the sony head unit would come with the wiring plug adaptor thingi???

hey mate

No, whatever you saw on the website is probably wrong if you actually go in and ask them the pack comes with two different adaptors (one for each of the stock cables) i bought one the other day from ryda it was $12. all the colours have been changed on the adaptor to match whats on your headunit so it should be easy all you have to remember is dont solder the ground wire from the head unit to the adaptor just take it straight to an earthing point as the stock head unit is not grounded through thoses cables it uses a different connection.

anything else let me know k

Thats the original adaptors for the factory tape player and

http://www.ryda.com.au/Aerpro-Nissan-Wirin...ds-p/ap7550.htm

this is the one i found on ryda website.

so from those 2adaptors from the first pic, the one on the left goes straight into the one from ryda, but what about the one on the right?

i have to cut that one off? and solder it straight on to the sony one?

and heres a pic of the sony one just incase :geek:

dont worry you will get it done ;)

Finally got it done!

today i picked up a antenna conversion cable, just plug play, easy!

and the wire harness, i soldered it on to the new stereo wires and done!

oh and I used heat shrinks, never knew they exist until today, clean wires, not dodgy electrical tapes :D

never would have thought it was this easy :D

post-65376-1262604983_thumb.jpg

now i have to install the speakers

the stock speakers have an adaptor, should i just cut the adaptor on the wires and solder the new wires on that?

and the one with the strip is - and the plain one is + ?

anyway thanks heaps guys :)

Great thread here mate! I am in the same situation, where I have a Jap Kenwood headunit that only plays audio cd's and no radio. So this thread will prove invaluable once I get around to starting.

Goodluck and keep with the updates. Oh and are you planning on installing a sub and amp at all?

Hey there

nah not installing sub or amp :) I don't like to too loud lol

I installed my speakers few days ago, it was pretty simple. I juz took the old speakers out and cut the adaptor off the wires

and solder new wires, and that plugs straight to new speakers. I dont know about other speakers, maybe you have to solder the wires to the speakers? :S

thats great that you got everything working and yeah if by the other speakers you mean fronts you can either solder the wire straight onto the speaker terminal or you can get leads with plugs on the end that go straight onto the speakers and then solder that on the the original leads.

are you putting splits in the front or just going for 6 1/2 (Recommend putting splits it sounds so much better)

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
