Ok I got my car imported from Japan and it didnt have a stereo innit. So i took all the brackets off to check the wiring. Got myself a sony CDXM8805X headunit. Looked at the wiring in the R32 and didnt have a fucn clue which cable was which. I have like on big loom and 2 smaller ones. Anyone have any diagrams explaining which cable is which? need help please!

thnks

I can't remember the one in the r32 I did but you should be able to tell the power and accessories because it's usually a heavier weight than the speaker cables.

Once you figured those ones out just use a test light to see which one is which. (ie. if test light goes on with teh car off it's the power, turn your key to ON and if the test light goes on then but goes off when you take the key out then its the accessories).

When you have the headunit working then just plug in the speakers one at a time to see which one is which.

the loom has the colours most manufacturers use these days except for the speaker colour wires... so find a diagram on net... i cant remember which ones but mine was a pioneer and it was as easy as solder up the colours i had a diagram but cant find it

The attached pdf should explain everything.

I wouldn't recommend trying to hook up the rear amp, just rip it out and wire the speakers straight to the head unit (or external amp if you have one). All of the speakers are probably stuffed due to the age of the car so you might want to consider replacing them. If your replacing the speaker you may as well run new wiring too.

Blue = front left +

black/white = front left -

brown = front right +

black/red =front right -

green = rear left +

black/yellow =rear left -

orange =rear right+

black/purple = rear right -

blue/white = accessories power

red/white = +12v batt

green/red= power antenna up/down

red/purple = Luminance

This is the wiring in an r33, im sure it would be very similar in the R32

I use it, and it worked perfect!

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
