Check if theirs a solid Black wire anywhere that's normally your ground ( located at the back of the headunit) just use a connector and screw that onto the chassis (anywhere that's metal) sometimes theirs already a solid black wire connected to the chassis/loom so you can just connect the black wire coming out of the headunit to that. Provide us with some more information on what you have tried already etc... this also might help http://www.psiparts.com.au/downloads/R33%2...o%20Install.pdf

Mate, your best off not looking for a wire at all just find a bolt that is screwed into the metal chassis of the car, yes you may have to remove the head unit, would be a good time to check the integrity of the other connections as well.

There is no ground wire in the factory loom, check where the black wire from the back of the headunit is going, should be to a bolt on the chasis somewhere.

So the headunit turns on, but none of the accessories in the boot? Check how they are wired up, should be a second fuse for those accessories somewhere.

reconnected the stereo and the screen wasnt turning on with the factory headunit but all power was running for a brief amount of time including the accessorys in the boot.

then as i went to put it back in everything stopped working, went to a auto elec round the corner and i was told that my factory unit is faulty
