From personal experience, I've found the Goodrich A/T to be more or less the best all-season tire in winter. I drove a UAZ and an Isuzu Bighorn for one season on Goodrich A/T tires—impressive, but even better on winter tires.
Best snow tires I had on a 4x4 were cooper mud tyres, the land rover was neither heavy or quick and by winter It was lucky if it got down to -10

Greetings, comrades.
I need help.
Elgrands in the E50s had amplifiers, depending on the configuration. Either a Kenwood or two Clarion amplifiers (EN-1024G-B, UN-755G).
I need a pinout/diagram of the connectors.
It's so sad to see an Elgrand driving through snowdrifts somewhere in cold Siberia without its standard amplifiers.
With hope, Boris.

Sorry Borris, I don't think I've ever seen any E50's over here with factory amplifiers.
Where did you get your information on the Kenwood/Clarion amps from? Are there any pics?

Greetings. Information from the official catalog. Either a standard radio (like mine), a Clarion, or a Kenwood were installed.
Here's a photo.

Yes, yes. Wiring diagrams, they're not in the book. Maybe someone has connected something and figured out the wire markings. I don't even have these amplifiers or wires. Do I really have to disassemble the amplifiers and figure out each wire from the chip? It'll be a reminder of my teenage years.

Thanks) From the pictures it looks more like an E51)
Yes, it's odd. Mentions both E50 and E50 in the description.

Greetings.
I'm still indulging in my midlife crisis, because not all the Japanese trash bins are empty, which means there's still a chance to find a tuning piece for an old bus.So, I ordered and received rear door curtains straight from the land of the rising sun, Japan.
What's next? I'll disassemble, wash, iron, clean, and install them.I'm also looking for side curtains and headliner trim.
I'm also waiting for the curtain control unit.
I bought many kilometers of wire; it's going to be a tough job.
This is what 90s luxury looks like:

What about the amplifiers, you ask?
It's all very simple and complicated at the same time. I'll take a strange approach. After extensive research and reading Japanese catalogs, I discovered the following: These Clarion stereos were installed in almost all Nissan models of the 90s, but the amplifiers were different. I found amplifiers from a 21st-generation Terrano and found the exact pinout. So, without wasting any time, I bought two Terrano amplifiers. The tweeter and speaker combination is essentially the same on both the Elgrand and Terrano 21. The power is the same, and the radio is the same. I'll place the amplifiers in their factory locations, so they won't be visible. And the only people who will know that the amplifiers aren't installed according to Feng Shui are you and me, dear friends.
I started making wooden enclosures for the front tweeters, since I couldn't find any front panels for them.
