Stereo Installation in an R34

[n15m0]

ok, found the problem.... long story short, dodgy multimeter!!! lol (thats why you dont buy cheap ones... lol)

and yes i did throw it against a wall!!! lol

next question, is there a factroy hole in the firewall somewhere where i run the power cable for the amp?

and the parcel shelf - how do you take it out? I have these wierd metal brackets right across the speaker holes and they gota go if im gona put speakers in there.

I found the rear speaker cables, they were hidden near the speaker holes and sticky taped

Im planning on finishing this today so i'll post up some pics once its done!

I found out the hard way, you need to remove the rear side pillar cover as pictured. I didn't at first and broke the seat belt bracket. Its a hard pull but it should come out.

the hole you are loking for is onthe drivers side above the accelerator pedal. access to teh other side is via the wheel well.

cheers!

yup!! dun know how new it is, but yeah I prefered the double din over the single slide out ones.

thought i'd pop up a few pics of my new baby too!! only had her for about 3-4 weeks or so... fair upgrade from a 31

One question..... it picks up radio stations really bad!!! any reason that anyone can think of??

waht radio?

[turtlepower]

know its a bit late but i just put a new stereo in to fix the shitty radio reception. The reason is in japan they have 2 antenna's 2 different signals or something that's why the stock units have that fm diversity on it and a 2 pronged antenna plug, when i pulled mine apart the moron that installed the signal booster hooked it up to the wrong antenna. only 1 antenna will work u just have to test them. Works perfectlly now.
