I just bought an R32 and it came with no head unit, the guy pulled it out just before he put it up for sale. I bought a head unit today and started reading up on installing it myself (helped with my previous VL install), but I seem to have different coloured wires to the wiring guide .

I dunno if it has been re wired, but I seem to be missing green and pink wires with the addition of a few other colours. Is there any way other then tracing them to the speakers to work out what is what? There seems to be a few of the same coloured blue ones too :S

If worst comes to worst I dont mind paying someone to do it, but id rather learn myself. Any ideas?

Thanks for the input guys.

I think it must have been rewired at some stage, because all the colours are different to standard. I worked out what the 12+ battery and 12+ ignition were, so I have power to my head unit (it looks sick:P ) but now i need to figure out which speakers are which.

The wiring harness, although it is the same as the oem, wasnt rewired the same way, which i learnt when working out the power cables. I trialed quite a few combinations but couldnt get any sound to come out of my speakers (it was trying 2 cables in with all the different other cables).

Im not sure if the factory amplifier needs to be connected, and if it does i have no idea which cable it is (or what it goes to on my head unit), is there any way to work this out? Also is there any way to work out the speaker cable pairs?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
