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

      Do you plan on using 98 or e85?

      This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.

      Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
