hey guys,

this is my first post. i recently got a r31 series2 silhouette with a standard stereo. i wish to install my pioneer EH-P7550MP head unit. I have my new speakers already installed, but i can't work out the old wiring to the head unit. If someone has a map of which colour wires are the power lead, antenna and so on, or no of someone who could help me , it would help me a lot.

cheers

grab a multimeter. you will have a +12 constant and a +12 with the key. the speaker wires are common ground so you will have to run wires to each speaker. use the original mounting bracket from the old radio and use two screws to hold the poineer unit in from the sides. you will have to drill two holes in the bracket.

that should get you started - if you have questions post here and I'll answer them.

What he said pretty much :D

I installed mine just the other weekend. You will need to drill some extra holes in the metal bracket to bring it forward to fit flush with the front of the surround. Can take a bit of careful drilling to work out the exact distance it needs to come forward.

For the speaker wiring use proper speaker wire (or the ones included with the aftermarket speakers, depending on how fussy you are)..punch through the rubber with the rest of the door loom, again, punch through the rubber grommet in the body, feed the wires through.. Remove the kick panel, and feed the wire down until you can pull it through. Run under the carpet to behind the stereo.

On the LHS i had to unbolt the ECU to feed the wire through.

Might take a photo and post it up to show you how mine turned out.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
