Any chance of some pics?. I just bought another head unit to replace the pioneer carrozzeria unit (spaghetti City), and the new unit has all the wires connected to a plug. It sounds like this could be just the thing for an easy fit. That is apart from pulling out the spaghetti for the GPS, Satnav, DVD player, TV, Aerials etc :-(

Check my first post, I have updated with model number and picture. Just cut the brown connectors off and leave the white ones on there. The factory wires will click into the white connectors, and the coloured wires will match up with any aftermarket radio loom as they all use the same colour system. Just solder them on. :kiss:

Note .. This was for the standard double DIN radio and CD player, not sure about the Navi/TV units.

Does anyone know if the stock screens in the s2 stags operate in "ntsc" or "pal"? it's a tuf one i know. the local installer is going to do a dummy install on the weekend to see if a dvd head unit will work on the stock screen

Japan uses NTSC, so knowing that and the previous experience of other Stagea owners, I'm going with that. Quite a few products use a PAL to NTSC converter built-in, anyway...

NTSC it is.

I have wondered about the units that read PAL and NTSC discs as a lot do, I would be more interested in the signal they output? If you could get something that output NTSC as an option that would work.

I have checked my Factory screen by pluging in a a PAL MiniDV camera and the results where as expected, no good. The NTSC reversing camera works a treat though...

When I installed my stereo, the surround for the head unit refused to go on either behind or in front of the surround, and now that I've bought a DIN-sized gauge holder for my car, I'm having the same issues...

Has anyone noticed that the actual dash piece is slightly smaller than the regular DIN size? Or is it just me?

yeah - because its the facia. The actual DIN is the steel cradle that supports it all. I noticed the last time I had my player out that someone had very carefully relieved the edges of the face with something.

Got a Dremel and a steady hand? I don't think you have to take much off. This was the same with the old in dash radios for XD falcons

yeah, but it's kinda annoying that the stereo fits but the surround doesn't, and the same with the guage holder...

Don't have a dremel, but The Grumpy Old Man has about a million different files lying around which should suit the purpose.

Alrighty i have a few questions with regards my head unit install any opinions appreciated.  First thing 'exitSTAGEAright' LEGEND of a man the aeropro adapter made things so easy. Im actually removing my head unit from my old car and into my 260rs and the plugs that were soldered onto it were the same brand accept i paid some prick $70 bucks to install it... jackass. Anyway i have all that sorted out as in the adapter soldered to my head unit no problems. Oh and by the way for all who are looking to buy these i called JB HIFI and they told me they weren't stocking these sort of adaptors anymore. Autobarn had them instock and said they would continue to. Anyway movin on

I bought the car without a head unit so as i recieved it with all the plugs just hangin out or tucked in the consol.

Picture 1 = stereoplugs.jpg - These are the 2 stereo conectors and the arial connector?

Picutre 2= unknownplugs1.jpg - The left you can see seems to connect with the larger stereo connection but the

e is only two

small cables connecting this socket into the main loom. The two smaller plugs on the right are connected to the main plug on the l

ft. i haven't the faintest idea what these are for... any ideas?

Picture 3= unkwonplugs2.jpg - This bown plug sits quite close to the main loom but again i have no idea what 

ts for. clues?

Thanks guys i haven't been brave enough to just plug the head unit in to see if it works yet just wanted a bit of knowledge first.

Cheers guys

I *might* be pulling my dash apart again to connect (at least some of) my gauges, so I'll see if there are any plugs in there that look like that.

I wish I had a laptop so I could take it out to the garage, it would make it quite a bit easier. Saves me running all the way through the house back to my room, then out again to the car.

Has anyone relocated their air cond/heater controls in their stag?

i just want to move it from the top to the bottom of my din slots..

they make extension cables with plugs in japan but if it's not a hard job i may as well just make it myself...

Looks like the plugs that I have, but most of mine are plugged into something...

The brown one, I am pretty sure is just hanging unplugged and you will find a few of these under the dash area, I assume they were used during manufacture to test systems and ensure everything is working.

The other larger ones look like the climate control plugs but I have the factory Navi touchscreen unit so they might not all be used with the single din climate control unit, so that might be why you have so many spare?

The plug with the grey insulated wires running into it looks like the sat nav connections I have in mine.

Nissan would have run looms to cover all options during manufacture, so most cars would have some wiring that was never used for anything.

I hope that helps! I'd say if everything is working as it should then they are just extra looms that were not needed. All looks very familiar and factory but I could only be 100% if I pulled my dash unit out and looked...

Cheers

Jase, keep me informed as well, if you would: I have want to do the same thing...

Thanks mate,

Micah

Micah, worst case scenario I will get a mate to post some over from Japan. They are a bit on the pricey side (for a bit of wire and some plugs), thats why I'm just asking if anyone has done it themselves.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
