Hey, from what i have read up on the H/U installion on a R33, 2 questions i cant understand , i dont see anyone mention nothing about the remote wire ? and my deck doesnt have RCA Input.

(1) Im about to install a amp and wondering where i connet the remote wire to..

Effectively a remote wire is basically the same as the accessories wire right ?

Should i just wire it into the acessories wire going into the H/U ?

(2) My double din Gathers (Kenwood) deck doesnt have RCA Inputs, i was told you can get converters, that basically convert your speaker wires into a box then you plug in RCA's out of that ? Has anyone done this and does it still sound normal?

Let me know what every1 who has amps has done ...

Remote wire comes out of your HU, run it to the remote of your amp. It triggers the amp to turn on. Possibly the accessories circuit would do, but don't bother man.

I didn't find a remote wire on Nissan's harness when I did my stereo.

thanks  raz0r$harP.. now thats sorted out...

what about my 2nd question, about the RCA's... i never heard of anyone doing it so i dunno if its gonna sound like shit or not...

Dont u mean "my headunit doesnt have rca outputs"? You want sound from your HU to go to your amp yeah?

If I've missed something excuse me!

Almost every deck nowdays has RCA outputs. Is it an OEM double din or something?

If your deck doesnt have RCA outs, then I can almost guaruntee that your system will sound shithouse. The deck is the main sound output for your whole system obviously, so a poor deck = poor sound.

unfortunately i aggree with ^^^^^^^^^.

no rca's then i would consider getting a new deck, otherwise you will be facing a system with bad static background noise which in turn equals shithouse sound.

u can hook up the speaker wires from the head unit to the amp, most amp's come with a wiring loom to be plugged in if you dont have rca outputs, as with most stock head units. The amps have been desigened with this feature so as long as the headunit pumps out a nice sound and the amp is of a good quility as well then it wont sound bad should sound just as good as if it had rca output's allthough in saying that most after market decks which dont have rca outputs are either cheap with crappy sound output or old (which might not be that much of a problem but still wont sound as good with some of the new technology out there) consider upgrading your deck but try without first, just depends how perdantic you are i mean some of us goo out n spend 4 -- 5 k on a real nice stereo and others spend a grand have can have the same decible output but mabye not as nice and round a sound that misses some freqz

good luck n tell us how it goes

Hey boyz, just for the record this is what ive done...

(1) Bought a Speaker --> RCA converter from Repco

(2) Ran RCA's from that ---> AMP

(3) Hooked it all up, including remote wire e.t.c

DONE !!!

Sounds perfect and cranks.... The only problem i find is that when you have the volume set to "0", you can still hear hissing in the background, i assume its because of this setup, but for the meantime till i get a new deck, i'll live with it.

By the way yeh i know all NEW decks usually have RCA outputs, the deck i have is KENWOOD and is Double Din, with Full 3D spectrum anyliser, No it doesnt have RCA which i thought was wierd, but its a awsome deck and perfect condition, thats why i didnt wanna get rid of it yet.

Thanks for all the help anyway guys..

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
