Hi guys, I'm only new to this site. I recently purchased an r33 series 2 with the standard double din head unit. I decided to upgrade to a tv/dvd unit. I bought a wiring harness so that I didn't have to chop any wires but after installing I found that the speakers aren't working. The unit itself is coming on and everything is working but no sound. I have checked all fuses and they seem to be fine. My concern is do these speakers have an internal amplifier?

could be unplugged at the speaker, , broken in the door jamb, hacked in somewhere, the external amp not setup to turn on with the radio, no speakers in the holes,

dodgy radio, dodgy plug, dodgy plug install, wrong wires.

did you pop test the speakers during installation ? 1.5 volt battery ??? could be a bad xover .

this is why you pay someone to do it. so you don't encounter a GOTCHA !!!!!.lol my 2c

Sorry. Forgot to mention they work fine with the standard head unit just not with the new one. I am pretty sure it's the wiring from the car to the wiring harness. The standard unit also has a 10 cd stacker in the boot and a separate cable from the stacker to the unit which isn't being used on the new unit. I have looked at the diagram on this site and the 6 pin plug in my car is missing 2 wires and both of them are amp wires. Is this because my speakers aren't amplified or would the wires be in with the stacker wires?

I would suss that problem, don't assume wiring diagrams are right, most are from the USA where skylines were never sold until R35 and the wires still don't match up

most likely a mis wired interface plug. for the wrong car. model. year .

photos would help

do you know if you have aftermarket speakers, like splits ?

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
