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.

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..

and wallah! you have a new stereo..

But if anyone needs any help just PM me.. i would be glad to help out anyone who has any problems :P

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. :(

hey i just bought a pioneer with blue tooth ($600 + deck) but im having trouble finding the existing rear speaker wires if anyone can remember what colour the rear speaker wires were that would be a great help

this is kinda urgent coz im in the middle of installing it now and i wanna have it done sooon

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.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
