Hi all.

Just installed my old doube din pioneer head unit. With the jdm facia kit, so the buttons look legit and all looks very nice!

Gps screen and controllers fit very nicely.

Just for anyones information, I bought the Metra 70-7550 wiring harness. Which is suited for the non bose system. Installed it, hooked up all the wiring to the pioneer wiring. Fired it up and holy sweet mother of god!

The sound that comes out of those speakers is absolutely incredible, I know what having a sub or two sounds like and this sounds exactly like having a single sub blarring away in the back.

It seems using this harness would bypass the bose amp, so I'm not entirely sure whats running what. But for anyone ever wandering what the sound quality is like with stock everything but headunit. Heres your answer!

You can buy the wiring harness which uses the bose amp, which is about 40 bucks delivered...Metra was 6 bucks!

Anyone have any experience using the stock amp with that harness? Love to hear how your install went.

Cheers all!

I believe the difference with the 'bose' version of the interface, is it reduces the level of the HU speaker outputs to suit the bose amp input. the non-bose interface does NOT bypass the bose amp

For the Metra

For the Facia Kit (best quality) Better than that metra crap they sell....

The Facia kit appears yellow. Believe me in saying that its not, it almost matches the silver stock. I think you can get the silver, however i like the different contrast in colour.

hey mate, whats the difference between yours and the metra kit? looks the same to me...but the metra is only $250 delivered...

cheers

Dont the facia buttons illuminate?

The buttons do illuminate very nicely!!! And very bright i think, reason they weren't on was the headlights weren't turned on.

And the metra one has that disgraceful ugly ac controller. This one is exactly! the same as the stock and the buttons press and feel really nice.

And yeah, i bought the stickers off ebay somewhere! 20 bucks delivered i believe....Only thing is, you lose the illumination, no biggy really.

That song is the sex!

PS that song sounds unbelievable in this car! With that unit it really makes it sound like theres a sub. So worth the price.

if he has a Bose system.. he does have a sub.. unless he has removed it??

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
