1996 Nissan Pathfinder Stereo
My original car stereo had finally died, taking my Portishead cd with it. I obtained an used JVC HDR60 head unit in its place. It has received good reviews and the price was right so I decided to give it a chance. It turned out to bit of a pain to install due to wiring discrepancies...
In the end I ended up obtaining splice-in harness which connects directly to pathfinder sockets, and the pigtail side colors correspond to colors on the stereo harness. I understand that anything that is after market follows some standardized rule for color coding of wires.
This may be able to help you if you gutted your stereo out only to realize that online guides have wires coded completely differently then yours.
Once again, this is for 1996 Nissan Pathfinder, without Bose system.

Pathfinder dreams
I just came across this awesome article on squeezing more oomph out of VG33 pathfinder engine (96-01). Of course I should not touch anything before I finish my civic, but one can always dream...The article:

So, here is what is needed:
- Domes of VH45DE pistons have to be matched to resemble VG33E domes - for valve clearance.
- Block needs to be bored over to 93mm to match the new piston diameters.
- Nissan rings are chrome, therefore they require smooth surface, 600-grit plateau finish is recommended. I need to find out if I can use standard rings, like Hastings and go with regular hone job. Infinity rings are like $300+!
- Wrist pins are larger diameter then stock rods have, rebushing for larger pin is necessary.
