Hi,

I need to install a new double din headunit to replace my R34 factory unit. After reading through the forums, it seems relatively simple to remove the unit however there replacing the wiring loom is beyond my mechanical abilities!

I know that JB, BDL, Braddon and Tuggeranong car audio do instllations around town. If there are others installers that people recommend, can you let me know?

Thanks

Nick

If you're looking for a professional install (not DIY) head to see Warren at BDL car stereo in Fyshwick. If you like, you can tell him that Anthony Spink referred you and he will look after you, they are the best installers in Canberra, high quality of workmanship.

If you check out their page they have a lot of pictures of installs they have completed, as well as some of their demo cars.

They did my security system and i was not happy. my boot was not locking properly and most of the screws were missing when they took the dash out, didn't put back all the screws in. elite car sound & vision in belco installed a sound system in my cousin brothers car for $3grand and he is happy with the work they did. so if you want give a call to them as well

BDL Fyshwick have done all my Alarm systems - No complaints.

Audiotech - tuggeranong have done 4 full stereo systems - No complaints

Audiotech did my Double din HU and speakers in the 34 12months ago - all is good

They just did my R32 GTR about 2 months ago.

and last week I got them to replace the Airial Amplifier and earthed it, and Connected airial to AC to fix an inherint problem with all R32's radio reception problem.

As Ive used Tony (Audiotech) alot I get taken care of pretty well.

Cant go wrong with either shops. With using a shop you can go back and have it fixed. In DIY's your left wondering if you get it wrong.

Harder then to take it to a shop to resolve any issues.

I'd take it to Warren BDL Fyshwick if your new, These SAU guys dont praise easily but rag on shops pretty quick if there not happy.

My 2cents worth

*edit* I would never use JB.

Nissan adaptor harnesses are good.

I used a maxima one in my xtrail and it was sweet til I upgraded again but then I just modified the adaptor harness to suit. It left the standard harness unbutchered.

I just put a double din screen in my stagea and the last single din kenwood unit had been "professionally installed" (just before I bought it) with rounded screws, and 2 reels of electrical tape on poorly soldered connections. Not to mention hot glue gun'd and chopped up metal housing that secured the unit.

Wazza really gets around lol.

Also, yeah get a wiring harness and do it yourself or get verms to show you. It is not worth getting a shop to do it, you need to learn more bout your own car and how to do a basic head-deck change over.

If you have a skyline, it will need work and maintenance... Unless you are made of money learn and do the little easy bits yourself and if you get offered a hand from a SAU pro, dont waste the opportunity.

Its really easy to do and on the skylines there is heaps of room behind the standard head decks!

You can either get a wiring harness which we can wire into the new harness and then you can put the standard head unit back in!

Either way wont take long and soldering the joins makes a perfect connection!

Yeah, not hard to do at all. I've done head deck, sub + amp install and a full car PC in my car not too long ago.

If you decide to forego the harness (it does make it way easier as you can revert back to stock deck or change later on without needing to butcher your wiring loom too much) then pretty sure this wiring guide will apply to you http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf Just match it up to the instructions that come with your deck and you'll be set.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
