Ive installed mine on the 34 but for some reason, the Bass noise from the rear speakers are not hooked up. The standard rears have pretty good bass but when i installed it, there is noise but no bass. Then I somehow wired up 1 extra wire and it came on but only up to a certain level then it would cut out!??

Can anyone help? :headspin:

what components have u installed? like h/u, amps, speakers, subs etc?

and where did u find this "1 extra wire" from?

and i've love to see some pics if possible - cos i just bought an R34 aswell, and will be planning to install my full sound system in very soon [hopefully]

yeah make sure all the wires are connected properly [positive-positive; negative-negative].

but i wouldnt think that phase cancellation would cause ALL the bass to 'disasppear'. but i cant think of any other reason why it mite be doing that...

no... all the wires were right... normal 4 wires for the rear speakers.. Then noticed there was absolutely no bass from the rears. Connected another wire to one of the positive or negative wire and bass came on!! But when its too loud, it cuts out??? So i have to keep it at a medium level.. Still cant work it out.

ANY IDEAS?

it sounds like youve got a wire being earthed or it's cutting out,. i had this problem once when me and a friend installed a head unit in my old vl. one of the wires was touching on another and the sound was shit and lacked heaps of bass it would also cut out going past a volume of like 10 out of 40. we found out one of the speaker wires and touching another bare wire and causing it do wierd stuff.

also the speakers will share a common wire, check you've hooked this up properly too

You dont need to remove the centre consol.

From the begining for those that dont know...... remove the ashtray, there is a screw behind the ashtray. Now you can remove the shifter surround. It just lifts up. Now at the bottom of the stereo facia are two screws, remove them. The next part, if you use a screwdriver you can damage the dash. Use a paint scraper, put it down the crack between the dash and heater controls and wedge out the heater controls. There are two screws behind them holding the facia on. Remove the facia, unplugging anything that has to unplugged. Now unscrew the 4 screws holding the stereo brackets in. Unscrew the stereo and your new one will line up perfectly with the factory holes in the brackets. You do not need the cage so dont cut the facia and try and use it. Like every other nissan, you will be left with a small gap around the stereo. Your local audio shop may sell a trim for this. We sell them at work for $10. Or wrap a piece of velcro arouund the stereo ( just the fluffy side)

As it says in the sticky about redrilling the brackets to make that trim fit.... ignore it. A very rough and incorrect way of doing it, also very time consuming! If ya have any questions, feel free to pm me! :rofl:

BADHAB|T, Thanks for that info! :P

let me get this straight. Allyou need to remove are:

1. The gear stick surround, and

2. The stereo surround which is attached to together with the heater surround.

(Just wedge it out between the heather console and the dash surround).

Right?

NJR 34GTT : bang on man! Excellent step by step guide!

gaki : no worries dude! The vents are seperate NOT the heater controls, the heater controls are attatched to the stereo etc. (sorry for the mixup, been a while since I worked on an R34) The vents wedge out which exposes 2 screws holding the stereo facia in. Check out the link NJR posted, its easier to see it sometimes.

Oh, once you have mastered your car you will be able to do most Nissans! They all come apart in a very similar way. :D

Also, to wedge the vents out, ont use a small screwdriver as shown. You can dent and damage the dash. Use a paint scraper or something similar.

I'm about to install speakers into my car.

Do you have to remove the rear parcel shelf to do the rear speakers??

I want to fill the under side of the shelf with dacron at the same time, I'm wondering if this is going to be any good??

cheers

BASS OUT

Yes, but like every Nissan you have to remove the rear seat to be able to remove the tray (Except Nissans where the back seat folds down).

No, use proper sound deadening sheets, that fluffy stuff doesnt do nothing.

The idea is to make the tray as solid as poss to eliminate rattles but also making it more solid means less energy is wasted in vibrations, therefore making the music sound better.

Thanks Badhabit.

I have previously had the black deadening stuff in the front doors of a VS Calais and it made quite a difference.

I guess it's not a hard job to put the deadening black stuff on the back steel shelf, but how do you put it on the parcel tray itself??

Cheers

    • R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?
    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
