Changing Head Unit On R33 Series 2

[dnbutts]

Just wondering on how difficult changing the head unit on an R33 Series 2 Skyline would be?

Is there any special brackets or minor mods needed from changing from a double din HU to a single din HU.

Ive just purchased a single din Alpine HU and are replacing form some jap Ad-Zest thing...

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks.

Pick up a pocket from Nissan (N15 Pulsar or equivalent, has been mentioned before) from your local Nissan, approx $35. Nothing else required.

Follow the thread in the reference guide, stickied at the top of Car Audio.

Its fairly simple. just unscrew the two bracket and the OEM double din stereo should come out. If you change to a single din, you will need a din pocket.

here s a link to teach you step by step.

what they said...

the head unit will bolt up directly to the holes that are already there... simple as

i put a second head unit in as i didn't have a din pocket, and i wanted to

awesome,

might consider mounting a boost controller or RSM or similar under the HU so possibly wont need the din pocket filler.

thanks alot guys.

you'll need a nissan pocket and don't forget a nissan diversity aerial adaptor, the adaptor will let you change the nissan aerial plug to a aus standard plug.

actually you will need:

harness adapter ($19)

pocket($22)

antenna adapter ($15)

have it all here if you need it.

fm adaptor

nissan pocket

and make sure you ground the ground wire to the chassis not the illumination wire
