Just replace the stereo/head unit = easiest option.

My cd player worked at first but eventually it ate my cd and wouldn't play it and wouldn't spit it out either.

I got an aftermarket head unit installed, and then I had to take the stock unit apart to retrieve my cd.

Any audio installer can do the install - its an easy job (according to autobarn who fitted mine - didn't have any trouble).

I did give them a printed copy of the instructions for a V35 ipod/stereo install (very similar to M35 dash) but not sure if they used it.

$80 & 45 mins for the install. very happy :)

You'll get better radio reception and better sound in general from an aftermarket head unit.

And they all have aux input nowadays, but some also have ipod compatibility so either way you can have the cd player AND the ipod, now thats having cake and eating it too.

Not an option for us AR-X and also the RX owners... In-dash 6 disc changer.... Needs some serious aftermarket panels to get that audio out and replace with a DIN/ISO standard unit that fits the RS....

Just get an iPod and a PA11-NIS.

Easy to install and works beautifully :)

one of the reasons I bought my rsfour 250t was that I could put my own stereo in

Hi all,

Just bought an M35 (250t RS Four V) from my girlfriend's brother (I'm Aussie, he's Japanese, I'm in Japan for the next 2 weeks).

Been enquiring about importing it into Aus through RAWS. Under RAWS guidelines it is legal for a registered dealer to import certain M35s with a production date from October 2001. Girlfriend's brother says this one was built in October 2000... and i'm looking at paperwork that says the same thing. RAWS importer I was talking to never heard of an M35 built before 2001. I've googled production dates, and 5 different sites say production of the M35 was from 2001 to 2007.

Are the paperwork and brother mistaken and it's actually a 2001?

Anyone ever heard of a M35 built in 2000?

Will be great if it turns out to be a 2001 because I can't import (or get compliance) if it is 2000.

Thanks for any help.

Something not right there. M35's were definitely not built before mid 2001. Other evidence of this is that a lot of the new bits in the M35 didn't show up in most Nissans until 2002 or late 2001 (VQ Engine, 5speed auto, Front Midship Platform, different styling, new dash layout etc). Also the series 2 stagea was still being built up intil sometime mid 2001 so it seems very unlikely they would have had 2 different models in production at the same time.

Does anyone have a part # for the plastic guard that protects the front axle and the hardware affixed to it?

Its the one after the big one that protects the bottom of the motor etc.

I had a major bottom out in Windsor not long after I got the car and the plastic protector is in pretty bad shape, thinking about getting it replaced when it get's serviced.

NM35 and HM35's began rolling off the production line in mid 2001.

If you give us the VIN, we can look it up in FAST for you to find the build date.

Yeah, mine went on the way back home after picking it up from the storage warehouse.

That was 2 years ago and I haven't yet replaced it.

Having said that, the part number you are after is 75881-AQ060

I recently replaced my 6 stack in dash cd player from my 25ot rs four with a dvd/sat nav eclipse unit from frankies auto electrics. Speak to Chris Rogers about the double din fascia and new a/c control buttons. Fits and looks sweet.

Another possible way to check build dates, that i have used on import motorbikes, hopefully same for cars is to check brake and fuel lines etc. By Law in japan they have to put month/year on brake and fuel lines as they have to be replaced every three of five years or whatever, thats why we get them cheap because of the prohibitive cost of doing all that work. Worth a look. Was quite commen on bike to find year xx bike had actually been built 6-9 months earlier etc....

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
