Hey Peeps

Thought I would do a write up as it seems there isn't one anywhere else and the 350Z or G35/V35 isn't the same..........

these colour codes were taken from a double din radio - non bose type.

12V Constant - Yellow/Pink.

12V Switched (Ignition) - Light Green/Pink.

Ground - Red/Blue.

Head Light Signal / Dimmer - Green/White.

Front Left Speaker: White & Black. (do not know polarity)

Front Right Speaker: Red & Green. (do not know polarity)

Rear Left Speaker: Yellow & Brown. (do not know polarity)

Rear Right Speaker: Pink & Blue. (do not know polarity)

There were 5 colours left over but I did not bother finding out what they were.

Cheers, Theo.

Very nice work. How did your replacement stereo fit in the slot? I did mine on the weekend, and I'm not 100% satisfied with the fit, but was in a rush at the time. Now ceebs taking everything apart again.

If you're lazy (like me) and can't solder for shit, I bought this ISO and it works well.

it didn't sit in that flush either but cant do much about it with the counter sunk screw's.

I don't have a problem with soldering (I'm an electrician by trade) I'd rather know its right and have a good joint, not like these auto electricians who twist it together and tape it LOL

here's a photo.......

Hey guys just to add to this, when I wired my speakers to an amp, the wires with a trace are negative and the solid coloured wire twisted with it is the positive one.Cheers

is this not common knowledge.

I'm just adding info to the post josh, as Theo noted in the first part that he did not know the polarity. So I guess you could say it's not common knowledge, or he's not a commoner, or he was taking the piss and I fell right into it.

In electronics line generally means positive.

^ The Focals I wired in use clear speaker cable and the one with red trace (line) is used as positive, which is opposite to the standard wiring setup so yeah...like Brick said. Every manufacturer makes their own rules

Scott can you paste a picture of all the head unit wires???

the Green/White wire and also the Red/Blue wire would be a start though.

need to figure out why my interior lights, parkers and tail lights aren't working........ I've replaced the BCM and still nothing :(

See if any of this helps. It seems the pages after the ones I've printed are predominately about the navi operation & repair.

What I normally do is find what I think I need in the English G35 version & then try to find the equivalent section in the Japanese M35 manual (translating where necessary). If there happens to be any changes to wiring terminals/colours etc, you may be able to catch it before cutting the wrong wire.

Good luck & let me know if you need more.

DONT NOT GROUND THE RED/BLUE WIRE!!!! it is actually the cabin lights/parkers/tail lights!!!

I think I've blown the BCM by doing so!!! FFS

don't worry, fuse you need is third on left row in the vertical fuse box near the battery, you have to remove the plastic shield in the bottom of the glass to access it!

it is called "tail ***", if i'm wrong on placement. surely you will find the reason in this box :yes:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
