ok well, got 32 gtr imported with stock cassette player which didnt work but would light up at night with dash ect...

bought a kenwood to replace it and thought it would be as easy as my old gtst and cut and match up colors but that's not the case.. i could only find power and acc with the new kenwood cd player...

so i bought the wire harness similar to the sticky one on this section of the forums and i matched all the wires all nice and neat from the harnes to the head unit since it didint plug straight in... but still no cigar :( it has power but head unit doesn't light up all or even turn on...

where could i have gone wrong?? did i buy wrong harness? any tips i have hooked up cd players before and never had problems

thanks alot guys:) really over driving with just road noise -.-

So if you could locate acc and power, did you try connecting them and then grounding the wire? The easiest place to test to see if you have power is to just find somewhere bare on the chassis. Usually in a screw thread is a nice place.

Basically do this -

Connect appropriate power wires, acc/power and ground it. If no power then youve got a problem somewhere in the wire harness :S

Good luck

yea i found power, acc and ground befor i got the adaptor kit.. and my new head unit turned on and worked fine but i had no sound at all !!

i couldnt find out the speakers, i tested ALL the wires from harness to the head unit but nothing not even static.

BUT when i got a spare speaker i conected that straight to the head unit and i got static so maybe its a harness prob

any way i jumped on sau and saw the sticky and just re attached the factory plug with butt connectors and conected the adaptor kit.. but still nothing ALL wires are conected; speakers power acc ground antena all match up... :( :( :( fml

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      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

      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.
