does anyone know how to stopped the antenna from going up when stereo is on but radio is off?

also, when i installed my EBC, i used the wires from the cigar lighter. Everything works except that the radio reception is gone.

thanks in advance.

But that would be useless to most people without pics :)

NS2500: We have excactly the same headunit in our car, I'm going to take half of it out again so I can spray paint the plastic surround black. The grey colour doesn't match with my dash.

Howdy, just though you might like to update the link, as I get a 404 - Error not found when trying to load it!

Also I have just bought an R33 and it did not come with a stereo, as the guy wanted an extra $2000 for it, so now I have put just a cheapy in to get buy until I can get a half decent one, but for some reason, the dash clock now stays on all the time? I have unplugged it so it does not drain the battery, but can someone tell me what I have done wrong?

Thanks,

Ska

Greg,

Looks AWESOME! I am going to take your lovely wiring guide now and try to see what wires are connected to what as there is definatly something wrong as I could not get my stereo to work off what I thought was acc power, so I just bunged it on constant power, which is alright, just have to remember to turn it off, but an interesting side affect was that my dash clock now stayes on, so i just unplugged it.

But now I can really see what is what, THANKS!!!

I am such a dumbass..... was in such a hurry to change CDs today I accidentally missed the slot and shoved it into the R33 - like really INTO the car.

*sigh*

quick question... anyone know how to retrieve it without having to drag out the whole deck??

Use the force???

I once found a Michael Jackson CD that had been lost in a car this way... Who knows what you might find behind there :crazy:

Nope, had to do it the long way and take out the deck..... Great Guide though!!!

(hard launches n stuff dont get enough Gs to push it out..... guess that's a sign for new intercooler??)

Anyhow, found a Doris Day CD in there!!! whoever that is....???

is this the same for installing an R32 deck. mine doesn't sit properlyt and I found out it doesn't have the standard brackets. gettingh them from Just jap. bought a new sleeve from nissan. if I follow the R33 guide will it fit the same? I can take the dash apart myself easy enough, so is fitting the same

Fitting is straightforward, eg. screw the unit in where it fits! As to the wiring I'm not so sure. Does anyone know if the R32 wiring is the same? S1 and S2 R33 are the same.

Hi NS2500,

Thank you for your AeroPro links, they were most informative. My only question is this. I had as factory a tape and CD player, but it appeared that there were two wiring looms for the car.

I can only presume one is for the pwr, remote etc, and the other is for speakers etc. Given this, do you know where I can find the other loom (model no. etc,) to plug into the second factory adapter?

Thanks heaps for your help.

Has anyone installed the DEh-8500MP or DEH-850MP!!!!

I installed it yesterday but the outside bracket was too large to fit...does this mean i have to pull the headunit out further from the chasis so the frame can fit???

Thanks in advance

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
