R32 Stereo Wiring

Recommended Posts

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?

    • 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
