The face plate as in.... not the TV itself.. that came totally intact.

But the plate that will go around the actual unit that will hide the gap between the dash and the unit itself. if ya get what I mean?

(I got it for the price I did because it was the working sample at JB, and the last one there. A small price to pay for over 50% off!)

I don't think they come with one man... just got the last one in the chatswood jb and it didn't come with one either... so either they don't come with one or jb has f*%d us both over...

I should get you to come do my bargaining for me next time... i only managed to get them down to $845... you've done extrememly well...

Let me know what your running off it and how it performs... need some decent advice on speakers and amp...

I'm not really an expert in car audio.. but, my mate and I went down to JB and had a gander. I ended leaving with:

JL Splits (front)

Alpine mono-block amp

12" pioneer sub w/ box (looking into making custom box - eventually)

Wiring kit

and the JVC double din unit.

All for around $1600, initially it was $1800.

A few people have criticised me for not staying with the one brand, but in the end they all complimented each other and works well.

Both budget and performance came into play (in that particular order), and so far I'm pretty stoked at the quality sound that's coming out.

The rear speakers were replaced with some older JL's, nothing fancy. So I'm assuming with some better speakers at the rear that, compliment the setup, it should be pretty sweeeet!

I guess its not THAT bad.. it's not the grand canyon or anything, but in the installation guide that I downloaded (it didn't come with one, or the instructions, but readily available on the internet), it pointed out that a plate should be included for the installation in NISSAN cars.

Now I'm just interested in what difference it could make!

What about from a plastics supplier? They do cash sales to the public normally. Do you cut it with a jigsaw and clean up the edges with a bit of filing?

possibly. I use a knife and score it. jigsaw will leave a molten mess on the edges. I usually do not need to file it. if I do I use a deburring tool.

I have never seen them with one. I tend to make them as needed. how gappy is it?

Chris, you say you make these? Mine is a little gappy too... particularly at the bottom where it must be close to 5mm give or take...

If I wanted you to make me one them what would it cost and what is the best way to do it if I am in Sydney and you are up north? Can you do it if i give you a few photos or is it a bit of a precision job? How do you make the thing stay there? Some type of clip...??

yeah no problem... thought that might be the case anyway... i will get in contact with JVC because as STAR33 pointed out, the list of included components says there should be a faceplate included... cheers chris :cheers:

yeah I've looked on ebay and all that, but couldn't find anything.

On the net I could find installation kits, but they're in America and it comes with soo much more than we need.

I'll try get in contact with JVC. I'll give them a little 'fist to face' payments.. hahah.. nah.

Perhaps they offer some sort of replacements?

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
