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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
