hi All,

I was just wondering what sort of system a stock r33 has.....i dont know if mine is stock or not...the face doesnt look stock.....its a Kenwood System....a button opens the face of the player and reveals the casette player.....

i dont know....but it sounds pretty louds for a standard system.....also i was wondering is there anyway u can convert the jap system to eng system.....or whether u can get FM radio higher than .....90 i think

Thanks

The standard system is a double din setup and is OK, but you need a frequency modulator to get higher than 90 fm. Bloody hard to fit as you need to plug it into the aerial and connect it to power. Easy for the proffessionals, but not for me.

Not all stock systems are Double Din, mine is only one slot (S1). Sounds pretty sh*thouse but. Speakers crackle at the slightest bass... I am used to a decent stereo though, so i can't really judge it.

To get >90Mhz you have to get a frequency modulator as said.... Try Jaycar, but they are $40+ so i'm just going to save for a new head unit.

The R33 comes with a whole stack of different face units and speakers across the years, I guess what was available cheaply to nissan at the time. There is no definitive "stock system" on it really.

do a search for "stock system" and it will turn up plenty of interesting setups and brands.

Yea my Kenwood CD/MD player is from japan. YOu just have to install a frequency expander. For example my Fox FM is 81.9 Nova is 81.3 and so on. Lol i was suprised when i got my car because it came with big JBL speakers in the doors and Nice Kenwood rears (which u cant get in australia).

Has anyone fitted a frequency modulator? If so, where did you put it as I have been told by the importer to attach it near the aerial on the rear left of the boot! That area is soooo hard to access and you need tiny hands to get in there. Also, if I attach it close to the head unit, which power wire is the better option? Thanks for any help.

open the carpet with the lil plastic bits.

there are two 'boxes' one is for the power? and the other is to retract the aerial.

undo the bolts on the inside of the trunk, and both shud come out easily.

undo the wiring and the pipe(pipe is connected to aerial retractor, for oil and water

drainage). there's ur aerial and other bit

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
