I've done a search for this, many people with the R34 have done this no problem but I can't seem to do it, this is what I've done:

1. Bought a Pioneer DEH-3350 headunit.

2. Bought solder, soldering iron, insulating tape, wire cutters + wire shredders

3. Removed the radio part of the head unit so I could install the pioneer one.

4. Disconnected negative terminal of the battery and pressed brakes repeatedly to deplete any remaining sources of battery.

5. Downloaded and studied the Nissan 1995+ wiring diagram. http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf

6. PROBLEM: Wires did not have same colour as the ones listed for the Nissan parts

7. SOLUTION: I created my own list of colours that represented the relative positions that the diagram had. For example, the A on the diagram was "Gray," my one was orange so I connected the orange to the purple wire of the pioneer headunit wire.

8. PROBLEM: After hours of painstaking soldering, I insulated everything made sure nothing touched, hooked up negative terminal of battery made sure that the headunit was earthed connected it all up and guess what, NOTHING! (Except for a few sparks from the ground wire)

9. PROBLEM: Pioneer head unit will not screw into the factory DIN pocket.

10. PROBLEM: Remote control unlocking works, but LOCKING doesn't work, I have to manually lock it from the driver door.

9. Conclusion: Wasted 300 dollars + 1 day of labour + I now have cut wires that don't work.

Here are some pics below of the terminals I cut off and how I labeled them in colours with respect to their positioning on the diagram.

This is how I connected up everything according to my colours:

A- Orange

B- Grey with blue stripes

C Black with pink stripes

D - Light green

E- Black with yellow stripes

F - Nothing

G - Orange with black stripes

H - Red with blue stripes

I - White with red stripes

J - Blue with white stripes

K - Nothing

L - Nothing

M - Green

N - Red with white stripes

O - Black with red stripes

P - Blue with yellow stripes

To give an example of how I connected it:

On the diagram it reads: Letter M - Nissan standard colour is pink - New radio colour is yellow

On my list that I created, using the diagrams relative position, (seeing as I don't have pink) M is green for me, so I soldered Green to Yellow.

Urgent HELP needed, also PM me if you want my mobile number so we can discuss.

I bought a multimeter and tested each individual wire, turns out, I did everything perfectly but just didn't ground it properly. So I grounded it and it turned on, everything works good but I need an antenna for the radio and my right front speaker doesn't work. Tried switching the wires around but the right front speaker still doesn't work, does anyone know why this is when the old radio worked with the right front speaker?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
