Hi all.

Just installed my old doube din pioneer head unit. With the jdm facia kit, so the buttons look legit and all looks very nice!

Gps screen and controllers fit very nicely.

Just for anyones information, I bought the Metra 70-7550 wiring harness. Which is suited for the non bose system. Installed it, hooked up all the wiring to the pioneer wiring. Fired it up and holy sweet mother of god!

The sound that comes out of those speakers is absolutely incredible, I know what having a sub or two sounds like and this sounds exactly like having a single sub blarring away in the back.

It seems using this harness would bypass the bose amp, so I'm not entirely sure whats running what. But for anyone ever wandering what the sound quality is like with stock everything but headunit. Heres your answer!

You can buy the wiring harness which uses the bose amp, which is about 40 bucks delivered...Metra was 6 bucks!

Anyone have any experience using the stock amp with that harness? Love to hear how your install went.

Cheers all!

I believe the difference with the 'bose' version of the interface, is it reduces the level of the HU speaker outputs to suit the bose amp input. the non-bose interface does NOT bypass the bose amp

The Facia kit appears yellow. Believe me in saying that its not, it almost matches the silver stock. I think you can get the silver, however i like the different contrast in colour.

hey mate, whats the difference between yours and the metra kit? looks the same to me...but the metra is only $250 delivered...

cheers

Dont the facia buttons illuminate?

The buttons do illuminate very nicely!!! And very bright i think, reason they weren't on was the headlights weren't turned on.

And the metra one has that disgraceful ugly ac controller. This one is exactly! the same as the stock and the buttons press and feel really nice.

And yeah, i bought the stickers off ebay somewhere! 20 bucks delivered i believe....Only thing is, you lose the illumination, no biggy really.

That song is the sex!

PS that song sounds unbelievable in this car! With that unit it really makes it sound like theres a sub. So worth the price.

if he has a Bose system.. he does have a sub.. unless he has removed it??

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
