I've done a search for this, many people with the R34 have done this no problem but I can't seem to do it, this is what I've done:

1. Bought a Pioneer DEH-3350 headunit.

2. Bought solder, soldering iron, insulating tape, wire cutters + wire shredders

3. Removed the radio part of the head unit so I could install the pioneer one.

4. Disconnected negative terminal of the battery and pressed brakes repeatedly to deplete any remaining sources of battery.

5. Downloaded and studied the Nissan 1995+ wiring diagram. http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf

6. PROBLEM: Wires did not have same colour as the ones listed for the Nissan parts

7. SOLUTION: I created my own list of colours that represented the relative positions that the diagram had. For example, the A on the diagram was "Gray," my one was orange so I connected the orange to the purple wire of the pioneer headunit wire.

8. PROBLEM: After hours of painstaking soldering, I insulated everything made sure nothing touched, hooked up negative terminal of battery made sure that the headunit was earthed connected it all up and guess what, NOTHING! (Except for a few sparks from the ground wire)

9. PROBLEM: Pioneer head unit will not screw into the factory DIN pocket.

10. PROBLEM: Remote control unlocking works, but LOCKING doesn't work, I have to manually lock it from the driver door.

9. Conclusion: Wasted 300 dollars + 1 day of labour + I now have cut wires that don't work.

Here are some pics below of the terminals I cut off and how I labeled them in colours with respect to their positioning on the diagram.

This is how I connected up everything according to my colours:

A- Orange

B- Grey with blue stripes

C Black with pink stripes

D - Light green

E- Black with yellow stripes

F - Nothing

G - Orange with black stripes

H - Red with blue stripes

I - White with red stripes

J - Blue with white stripes

K - Nothing

L - Nothing

M - Green

N - Red with white stripes

O - Black with red stripes

P - Blue with yellow stripes

To give an example of how I connected it:

On the diagram it reads: Letter M - Nissan standard colour is pink - New radio colour is yellow

On my list that I created, using the diagrams relative position, (seeing as I don't have pink) M is green for me, so I soldered Green to Yellow.

Urgent HELP needed, also PM me if you want my mobile number so we can discuss.

I bought a multimeter and tested each individual wire, turns out, I did everything perfectly but just didn't ground it properly. So I grounded it and it turned on, everything works good but I need an antenna for the radio and my right front speaker doesn't work. Tried switching the wires around but the right front speaker still doesn't work, does anyone know why this is when the old radio worked with the right front speaker?

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
