Hi all!

I have looked through the forums and can't seem to find what i am looking for (also can't find anything i can understand well :sweat: )

A friend of mine had a head unit sitting around at his place and seeing as my current one doesn't have AUX connection capabilities i want to install it in my car. Im in need of a new project to attempt but have read that i might be able to buy adapters so i can avoid having to wire it in myself? I am new to all of this so was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. i have attached photos of the head unit, and the wiring that came with.

Sorry for the newbie question, but have decided to finally try and learn how to do it!

Thanks guys :thumbsup::thumbsup:

GTofuS-T: thanks for the reply!

If I was to try and wire it up myself are you able to give me an idea of how to do that? I found a good diagram online to show what each wire is for and where it goes. Just don't know which of those two adapters I would need to do that. Would appreciate the help!

And just to confirm, when you say 'existing wiring' do you mean the head unit wiring or the car wiring?

I meant the car wiring, for example one of my cars had never been touched, so i could unplug the OEM headunit and plug the car wiring plug in the Supercheap plug I linked above, which converts to ISO, I was then lucky enough to have bought a head unit that came with ISO plug that would plug directly into it.

It looks like your headunit wiring is just wires at the end, so you would need the second plug i linked from eBay to wire up to the headunit wires that would then plug into the ISO to Nissan adapter into your car. like so: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/ISO_10487_connector_pinout.svg/220px-ISO_10487_connector_pinout.svg.png

HOWEVER:

If your car already has an aftermarket headunit in it, then it's likely that someone has already cut and wired in the current headunit so you won't have the nissan plug and will have no need for the Supercheap Nissan to ISO adapter.

The actual wiring itself you'll need to just research I guess, off the top of my head REd is 12V Ignition, yellow is battery, black is ground, grey and white are usually the speakers, but exactly which speaker is which will take some testing.

I'd say first step is to remove the headunit that's in your car and see what the wiring situation is behind there. Oh and watch that MCM video, I'm sure that will help.

Thanks a lot for the replies! I will pull out the old head unit tomorrow and see whats going on back there tomorrow. Might try and install the new one on the weekend, will be good to have music again! Appreciate the replies, very helpful :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • Yea pedal box and no abs
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
