I don't know - Chris Rogers is the expert on audio.

re: Car audio manual. The early V35 Jap-import models have a PN2413E or PN2414E audio system. I have the latter which is a Clarion. The 'Bose' badge refers just to the speaker system. A near equivalent to these models is the PN2615E as fitted to the 350Z in 2003 (info from Chris Rogers). There is a free service manual available at http://elektrotanya.com/clarion_pn-2615e.pdf/download.html

re: cabin air filter. I went to Nissan Parts today and was quoted $96 for a standard (particulate) OEM cabin air filter. On eBay non-OEM filters start at US$6 for particulate, and US$9 for the carbon activated ones. I've just ordered 2 of the latter. FYI part number is: Nissan B727A79925

I'm new to the forum. A 2001 V35 300GT owner for 18 months. A great car. Only hassle has been the dreaded CD error F0. The early in-dash 6-stackers go well then they work, but eventually most die. A suggestion is just put one CD in at a time. I pulled my system apart today, around 2 hours to get the head unit out and another 2 trying to pull the HU apart - a few of the tiny screws got burred so I put the unit back in and will fit an ipod cable instead. In terms of insurance I'm paying around 650 with AMI, after max no claims. There's a guy in Glendene, Auckland who's doing the english conversion for the info pages on the navi system - but not the maps. NZ$280. And JPNZ in Kelston are selling english versions of the handbook - cheapest through trademe. They're polling to see who wants an english version of the workshop manual - 22 signed up so far. cheers, Trev.
