hey sau,

purchased a nice apline dvd unit/headunit for my car today not saure how to go about hooking it up with my 6 stacker cd player in the boot? if needed i can supply the model number what should i do about this situation

regards chris

Alpine IVA-D106E has a Ai-Net port. Most Alpine 6 stack CD changers use the Ai-Net cable. Check the brand of the 6 stacker in the boot first, we can figure it out from there. If it's an Alpine - I think you're good to go.

hey,

dont believe it is a alpine one just the standard stacker that comes in the boot so dose that mean i may not be able to connect it up to the existing stacker.... i can double check but im pretty certain it isnt

here is a photo of the stacker currently in the boot need some information on how to go about installing the system if i cannot wire it upto the attached picturepost-75494-1285162273_thumb.jpg

much appreciated guys you are a big help

thanks for you help chris appreciate it alot can the alpine headunit IVA-D106E still be wired into the loom without using the 6 stacker cd player? or have i just gone and wasted alot of money for nothing >_<

cheers chris

hey,

what exactly will a wiring harness do?

thanks michael

no offence intended here BUT if you have to ask that question - please pay someone to fit the thing. you will run less risk of killing something that way.

hey chris,

no offence but i was kind of after a helpfull question.. i know what a wiring harness is just dont see the point of fitting one i was told that a wiring harness is for people who dont have a clue for corresponding wire colours running of the loom, iam pretty cluey when it comes to car electronics as i have fitted all my gauges/lights and fixed my system in the past aswell as custom designing mdf brackets to my new front speakers that "i installed myself"

i dont know why i even posted that because still to this time nobody had answered my question about how to go with installing my deck and bypassing my cd stacker if its not useable as you say my thoughts currently are just to leave it out and install the deck just not sure what the headunit side of the plug/ colour of the wire will look like for the stacker

Use the Nissan harness (from Autobahn) so you won't have to cut the factory plug off. Solder head unit harness wires to Nissan harness (the one you buy from Autobahn) wires, plug each end into their sockets and your done. Took me the best part of an hour to install my head unit and I'd never pulled a 33 dash apart previously.

If your stacker won't plug into the new alpine unit then you're already bypassing it. Remove it from boot and use it as a door stop or something....

thankyou finally a helpfull comment i appreciate your help alot i love how on public forums people can be so helpfull yet so ignorant was thinking that was the way to go after reading some installation wiring harness threads so i dont have to butcher the loom

high regards chris!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
