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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
