Hi everyone,

I decided to change the factory double din head unit over to something that requires the standard ISO connector. The info from google seemed to contradict itself, or Nissan decided to use more than one style of factory connector.

Anyway, I pulled the head unit out to see what exactly was in my car, and it didn't look like any of the harness adaptors I saw, picture attached.

I rang Aerpro and they told me they do not stock an R33 to ISO lead at all :(

Has anyone come across this before, is there someone selling an ISO adaptor for this style of connector?

Thanks for any help.

Mike

Ok, an update..

That connector is not the right one, after much digging around I eventually found the two connectors which are part of the factory head unit harness.

For those that are attempting to install a new head unit that uses the ISO standard, you will need an AERPRO APP-0120. which is described as "Suit Nissan 1995 on".

The only issue I had was that the main connector, which supplies battery, switched ignition and illumination there is also meant to be a ground wire, which mine didn't have installed by the factory, so my new head unit wouldn't power up. It might pick up the ground when the head unit is screwed in to the original metal bracket, dont know, as i was testing it on my car seat before fitting everything back in..

And for reference, my Skyline is an R33 Series 2, so I don't know if this applies to the S1.

I bought my adapters from supercheap. Weren't 100% right. I had to swap constant 12v and accessory I think, and the antenna power pin was in the wrong position but that wasn't important to me.

Ok, strange, because with the APP-0120 I didn't have to alter any of the connections.

Now the only issue is the way the installers that fitted my amps years ago ran the speaker connections. Instead of running the speaker outputs for the front speakers direct to those speakers, they spliced in to the clarion loom. Took me hours to work out why the fronts would stop working when i plugged in the new loom adaptor, lol.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
