New to Infiniti/Nissan...HELP!!!

[boogiesj30]

What's going on everybody? I'm new to the whole Nissan/Infiniti world. I've done Volvo's, Honda,s/Acura's, but never Nis/Infi. I just got my 93' J30 like today and the most I've done is change a bulb and add gas. I need help guys. I felt dumb as hell when I tried to change my rear turning signal. Lets start with the rear turning signal. I have the bulb and its the right one, but I don't know where to look and/or go. Next I need to fix the brake light. Won't trigger, might be a fuse but I don't know where the fuse box is!!! HELP!

Thanks man. Do have any wiring diagrams for the radio? ?The Bose that came with the car doesn't work and I'm trying to put my Dual in.

[boogiesj30]

Let me tell you now...

In my pursuit of installing my Dual reciver, I kind-of cut all the wires from the stock wiring harness of the Bose system. I should have came on here first, but I wasn't thinking straight. Just wanted to let everyone who replies know that converters are out of the question. Unless I can get a stock harness and put it in if it is possible....

HELP!!!

HELP!!!

If you are putting in your own headunit and you've already cut the factory harness to pieces then just run your own wires.

All you basically need is power and ground to the radio and a pair of wires going from the radio to each of the 4 speakers. Of course, your original BOSE speakers won't work with the aftermarket stereo without an adaptor or some modification.

You need to replace the speakers as well. The bose speakers will not work with an aftermarket headunit. I've got a stock harness you can buy if you decide to change your mind.

For how much and how will install it?

Sounds like you might be better off taking your car to an audio shop.

[boogiesj30]

Yeah your right... No sounds for a while huh

[brandonjustice93J30]

all of mine work with an aftermarket unit....nissan/bose converter came from Crutchfield when I ordered my unit, was part of a free install kit for buying the radio. Normally $39.99

not true...i have a JVC headunit running all 4 BOSE speakers...i dont know how he did it but it works and sounds great!since i changed the head unit the sound has had more depth to it if that makes any sense at all

If you don't have the adapter, you can use the stock speakers but you have to modify them to bypass the built-in amps. My 94's stereo was like this when I got it. I have since ran all new wires and don't use any of the factory wire harness. I even pulled all the seats and carpet out to run them. Got to pressure wash the carpet while it was out.

I like Crutchfield's service but you pay for it. Getting $40 worth of adapters for free only means that you paid at least $40 too much for the stereo.

[brandonjustice93J30]

actually I got more than that free and I only paid $149 for a Kenwood KDC MP2035

[gr8scott72]

You mean like this one for only $99?

http://cgi.ebay.com/KENWOOD-KD...wItem

[brandonjustice93J30]

yes, but add $24 shipping to that $99 and you're within 25 of what I paid plus add the diversity adapter, pocket, wiring harness and bose converter to that $125 and I'm sure you'll be well over $150

[gr8scott72]

And you didn't pay any shipping?

None the less, that is a close-out model and you got a close-out price. Good job.

But like I said, Crutchfield is higher than anyone else and it's because they offer you things others don't, like free adapters and harnesses and better customer support. I'm not talking bad about Crutchfield.

[brandonjustice93J30]

I forget about s/h...I got in in April of 07 with a special they were running.

But yeah for the most part though they are higher than most places just because of everything they include.

So where is the stock amp located at? I'm trying to do everything myself. Engine work, body work, electrical, w/e... I appreciate those who stopped by and left some notes in the thread for me.

[brandonjustice93J30]

at each speaker...at least the rear ones...

I think the fronts are the same

The amps are individually mounted in the speakers.

[boogiesj30]

Ok my in-dash lights do not work when my head lights are on after I cut the wires from the stock radio wiring harness. What's up with that?

[JP72]

Does anyone still remember how to bypass the amp on the speakers? I just want a idea of what im doing before I dig into it tomorrow and actually get some sound out of my new system
