Hi, guys

I try to install a head unit, to replace the factory one. i have search the faq (assume R33 has same loom as R32):

http://www.powerlink.co.nz/~graeme/faq/74.html

Yellow with Silver Tracer ------> Constant 12V

Black with Red Stripe ---------->Electric Aerial

Blue with Silver Tracer---------> Ignition 12V.

Red with Blue Stripe ---------->12V when lights on.

I 'd like to try connect those wires from head unit to the loom, however I have some problem, from the instruction of the head unit, I don't have problem for speakers cables, however I am not sure the rest wires hanging there:

From my head unit, where I should connect these wires to

1) there is a filter box (fuse 7A) has two wires:

yellow----->backup

black------> ground (-)

2) Blue wire with FUSE (0.5A) ----> Auto Ant (+)

3) Red wire with FUSE (1A) ACC. B (+)

I guess that the blue wire goes to black with red stripe (electric aerial)...but how about the rest?

thanks for any information..

yes i have had sagas when installing my stereo, firstly this canadian mate i have tryed, it worked for a while, then pete smith decided to re wire it etc... and its going great now..

however we did notice last time we were in ricebarn (auto barn)...

that they have these adapters for head units etc..

like nissan to pionneer, or nissan to kenwood etc

im not sure if these could help you, but im led to beleiev you plug the old plugs from stock cd player, into one end of the adapter, then it clicks into teh back of new stereo...

it should have come with its own loom. Then all u do is cut out the factory nissan one and wire it into your new loom according to the wiring diag that came with the stereo.

U might find some dont get used on the stereo side - eg power ant etc, and from the other side, u might find that your head unit doesnt have dimming, so u will have extra wires left.

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 馃ぃ馃憤   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
