Hi everyone,

Tried running searches on this but didn't really given the answers I was looking for.

Wanting to replace the factory head unit from my '99 R34 GTR Vspec (has the factory sat Nav which is pretty much useless here in Aus).

Couple of questions.

Is there a wiring loom/harness 'off the shelf' that I can buy and connect to the standard stereo plugs to connect up to an aftermarket unit without having to cut and solder wires?

Also understand that I will need to convert the antenna lead to pick up radio here. Looking to install a unit with DAB radio and digital TV so is there a special antenna conversion lead that I need here?

Lastly, there were hell of a lot of plugs/wires from the factory sat Nav unit that are now redundant because I've pulled out the unit. Anyone know the best way to rips these wires out as it is taking up a lot of space and just want to tidy up cables.

Happy for anyone here that runs an audio shop to give me indicative costs for the labour here. Based in Canberra but occasionally head up to Sydney on weekend to visit folks.

Also happy for any ACT forum members that know how to do this. Will pay in beers and friendship :)

Thanks

Have you contacted JB HiFi in Woden they may be able to shed some light on this subject as I am going to get rid of the Jap radio in my Stagea soon I hope, and am thinking one of the double DIN units with Sat Nav or touch screen and blue tooth to the phone etc. still looking myself

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.

      Yes that sounds right. Cars currently in the shop for the engine work. Will need to remeasure .. but yes I think I must be targeting 45cm from fender.
