OK guys, I see everyone else isn't having dramas fitting their head units! I'm more than capable of all the wiring but the dilema i'm having is when my car was imported, it had only the A/C control period! No brackets, no nothing so what I want to now is- - - How has everyone mounted their headunit? Is there a generic part that can be made to fit? Is everyone custom fabricating their mounts, etc?

I know for a fact that JustJap have the item you need as I saw one in a half cut down there last weekend. Give them a call: www.justjap.com im sure they can ship it to you if you arent local for a small fee.

The power is on a seperate plug with three wires, using a currenty tester you will work out which is acessory and which is power, the third, and left over wire is not earth, and if used so, head unit

I installed mine last week..

I got it right first go.. even tho all the colours of the wires were completely different to what info i could find : Only problem i had was i didnt ground it properly.. but that was easily fixed :D (stupid me) :P

One thing you will def need is the Nissan double diversity adaptor.. thats a must.. saves a whole lot of stuffing around!

The only plugs you need from the stock loom are these too here..

I installed my own stereo from scratch, laying all new cables down the wells of the side of the car. I just need some stereo place to make me up a boot install now because all I have is an ugly load of cable and free roaming amps bolted to a bit of 12mm MDF.

I thought it was quite easy to install compared with my Laser TX3. Hardest part in the GTR was getting the power to the battery under the hood which involved taking the wheel off to get at the over sized grommet.

A MULTIMETER IS YOUR BEST FRIEND....when installing stereos :D

i guess that i need to re wire everything, could this this be done with ease or will it be better for a pro to do it?

Its fairly simple if you have some sort of idea that you are doing..

If you arent that confident maybe get a friend who has done it before or just get a pro to do it..

I didnt rewire mine.. and you can see what a mess it was.. but i cleaned it all up.. you just tape up what you dont need..

And you dont always need a multimeter! :)

Car stereo is car stereo, once youve done one they are all easy, ive done a complete install, front and rear speakers, boot install, and had numerous headunits in there without one hitch, multimeter makes life much eaiser, fresh wires never hurt and alot of custom work goes down well.

Im amazed that no on has mentioned you may need to do an amp bypass. It may have already been done or it may not have a factory amp. To check, its a small round thing in the boot, screwed to the underside of the parcel tray

Sorry to dig up an old thread, figured it's better than posting a whole new topic.

Today I just put in a new headunit, very simple process, but I didn't have enough cabling for my speakers so I decided to just wire them up to the stock speaker wires. The problem now is I don't know if I have the stock amp you mention of. Is it actually round or is it more of a box with wires going in and out of it?

If it is can anyone give me any tips on how to bypass this, ie. a wiremap of the amp so I can just join the input to output?

Thanks guys ;)

BTW: Thanks to everyone who posted here, very helpful!

Hi ToF, I found that the stock rear amp in my r32 is round, with one small bundle of wires exiting it. Mine has a little white sticker which says "Clarion" on it, but yours may have fallen off. It's probably about 5x7.5x7.5. I can take a picture of mine and post if you want.

I'm not really sure how to bypass it (my rears are after market Kenwoods which glow "Kenwood", but don't appear to be wired to the front), but I've been looking into replacing all 4 speakers recently ... until I found out the hole is only 6.5" in the back, and 6"x4" in the front. :(

Ok so i thought there may be a problem with the rears, so i decided to check them from the amp plug and they worked fine.. so why cant i get them to work from the front plug???

For the front speakers the colours look to be the same on the front plug as the amp (however couldnt get them to work from the amp plug for some reason)

For the rear speakers the colours on the front plug are different to the colours on the amp..

help someone What colours are used the rear speakers on the front plug??????

i have tried trial and error but couldnt come up with the goods

Are you using the 'pre-94' harness wiring from that PDF? I have followe that for my brother's 1989 R32 GTST (amped setup) and it all matched up.

Haven't had any complaints re: the wiring guide so I guess double check your connections again.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
