*** UPDATED: New Link (again) ***

Hi all,

I've just completed a quick guide to installing/replacing the head unit in an R33. Please check it out and let me know any comments or if I've forgotten anything important.

I hope someone out there will find this useful.

Cheers,

Greg.

Nice guide :D The only suggestion I'd make is instead of using the terminal blocks, I would go to SuperCheap or similar and purchase a Nissan adapter. It plugs into the factory Nissan loom and has flying leads at the other end. No butchering of the factory wiring required! :)

I'd love to but it's been about 18 months and I don't keep my packaging for that long :D

Here's what I do know: I bought mine from SuperCheap and it cost me about $5. You can get all kinds of adapters, like Nissan -> Kenwood, Toyota -> Pioneer etc, and also ones like the adapter I bought, which is a female Nissan plug going to flying leads, which you connect to the corresponding flying leads on the back of the plug supplied with your stereo.. If I go near SuperCheap (I live about a minute away) I'll get some more details and let you know.

The part I'm thinking of is an Aerpro AP7550 - Aftermarket Stereo to Nissan Harness. It was listed at $15.50 at SuperCheap, but as TT says, there's a pretty good chance they're not the only ones selling this kind of thing. Perhaps my price estimate was a little off though :D

I used an Aerpro double diversity antenna adaptor which I got from Autobarn, so I guess they stock them as well...

I wish I had of known about this earlier, oh well. :P

Here's the page with the wiring harness AP7550:

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
