ok, so i read the diy which was handy but unfortunately the pictures aren't working and i have a poor command of stereo terminology which made it a little hard to understand. mainly i don't know what an ISO is. is that just the white and red plugs?

now i have a feeling this was covered in the diy but when i took the stereo out i was confronted with a white plug (attachment) instead of the ol' white and red plugs needed for my new head deck. is there just an adaptor i can buy which will convert this? also, in the top middle-ish of the picture you can see there's a wire clip thing that just sat under a bolt in the old head deck. what's this for and do i need it? because my new head deck has nowhere for this thing to hook in. cheers! sorry if my descriptions are poor :thumbsup:

from the picture you posted up it aprears to be a clarion plug.thats not an ISO plug.

these are ISO plugs

is the other end of the white plug's wires solderd into the loom coming out of the car? if they are are the factory plugs still attached or have they been cut off?

if there cut off your out of luck and will need to solder in the new loom that came with your CD player.

if they havnt you can purchase some adapter plugs to go from the nissan plugs to an aftermarket radio harness such as the one from your CD player.

and no no one makes a plug to go from that white one to one for another radio.

the black wire is an earth coming from the clarion plug (white one) and needs to be earthed to a decent sized bolt.

ok, so took it apart again and got some more snaps.

so as you can see the old head unit has a bolt for the earth to slide into and the new head unit doesn't. do i need it?

new head deck

and here's what the clarion cable goes back into

and just to clear up, the black plug is power and the grey is for the dash controls? i thought it was the other way round in the diy, but the black was the one plugged into the head deck and the grey one was just loose.

and lastly, what the hell is this for?? it was just loose.

thanks guys, much appreciated!

oki doki,the way your old head unit was earthed was just dodgy and lazy.it should have been earthed to a decent bolt or screw arount that area,theres one just under the rubber gear shifter boot that you can use.

from the look of the plug on the back of the new unit you have it apears to be a sony so you will need to get yourself some of these

http://www.aerpro.com.au/list.php?pcode=AP...=10&cat_sno=

that one is to suit the cars plugs

http://www.aerpro.com.au/list.php?pcode=AP...=10&cat_sno=

and that one to suit your CD player,they will interconect in the middle so you you end up with one lead that goes from your car to the CD player.i beleve some people have had issues with the plugs not working because the earth in the new plugs was not correct.so you will have to cud the earth wire off the car side of the plugs and put an eyelet terminal on it and earth it to a decent place (as i mentioned before).

the big black plug in your seccond to last picture is your antenna plug. i dont know what the grey one is,possibly the trigger wire for the booster that goes with the antenna in your front windscreen.if you plug it all in and you find you get really poor radio reception then that is more then likly what it is and you will need to hook the P CONT or ANT CONT wire up to it. if your radio only has the ANT CONT that is fine.

the big black plug in your last picture apears to have been taped into the power for the cigy lighter so is obveiously not factory and you can just leave it be.

The Aerpro plugs are available from autobarn,strathfeilds etc etc,if they dont have them off the shelf they can be orderd in for you,they will cost you between $14.99 and $20 each.

hope that sorts you out mate!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.

      It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
