32 GTR Stereo fitting help! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hi all

I got a nice Alpine head unit for christmas and im about to get it fitted.

I was wondering about the wiring to the unit itself. I was a bit worried about it being a universal fit or would i need an adaptor to fit it, and are they readily available to buy? Has anyone fitted a head unit themslelves to their 32?

All advice appreciated
Cheers, Dean j

Dean, has the car already got an aftermarket head unit in it? if so, chaces it'll have an ISO adaptor on there.

Hi mook. Its got a japanese stereo in it. I think its a JVC thing. Deffo aftermarket, but still japanese mate. I was wondering this myself, but i reckon the japanese ICE market might cater for japanese vehicles, and the european arm of JVC use iso connectors for us lot, if you know what i mean

Hows that Metro mate?

I see your bro's got the car up for sale. Bloody shame as its a nice car.

Metro's cool, in Bits at the mo, geting it track ready. 120bhp, here i come!!

only way you'll know about the stereo mate is to take the JVC one one i'm afraid

good luck

actually, have you asked GTRSTILL if he had it out at all?

dean j · 3rd January 2008, 10:07 PM

Good idea mate. I'll ask him tomorrow. Is it a tough job getting it out? I cant see no holes for any prongs to go in

Mookistar · 3rd January 2008, 10:10 PM

a PITA!

but not too tricky TBH

thanks mate, where's the screw to get it out?

Mookistar · 3rd January 2008, 10:36 PM

you need to remove the plastic surrounding it and the gear knob to access them BE CAREFUL!!!

I thought that the audio connector for a Nissan Micra works? I think that's what I used on my R32.... Got it from Halfrauds for a few beer tokens.

dean j · 4th January 2008, 08:27 PM

Thanks for all your input, but now i've got another question.

The stereos fitted now, but all i gotta do is fit the speakers. I havent even looked how to do it, but im thinking the speaker grilles just pop off back and front. Am i right before i break em off or does the doorcard and shelf have to come out?

Cheers
