This might seem a bit strange to ask, especially since all the stuff I have read just today but can someone please confirm that the Stereo is below and in front of the Screen and this Screen drives out of the hole at the top of the Centre console. The Screen is usually hidden from view.

this is correct.

Is this on all models or just some... does the Screen pop up and do all Sedans and Coupes have it, or just the Premiums, or the one's with TV/DVD option?

unsure on model designation. I have seen the screens on various models 250gt,300gt and the 350gt. if you can see the buttons on the top of the dash then it is there. NONE of them play DVD video. The DVD is a DVD ROM ONLY! (this is used for navigation and vehicle features.)

If it is a TV/DVD option I presume that this also means that you get a Trip computer as well as a TV, that only works in The land of the long white cloud.

correct. TV doesn't work here in (until I get my hands on it..)

Isn't a Double Din head unit standard across the range and the Bose (Double Din too) an option on all models?

no. if it is bose the car is wired specifically for it. the ENTIRE dash panel is one piece and the controls are ALL part of that panel. you can buy the panels to remove it but its NOT a cheap exercise to do it.

How do you know if the wiring and (Japanese) hardware for TV is fitted to your car, where do you look?

if the OE nav screen is there then the TV system is there.

Getting kinda excited with all this research and all of you guys appear to have a great car, with so many things to think about before I go looking and driving. I hope I like them to drive...

Cheers all

they are quite a car to drive. the 250 and 300 GT are slower but not too bad. the 350GT is where it is at if you still have a bit of hoon in you. I drove a 350 GT back to a customer and scared myself in it as it accelerates quite quickly when you mash the right foot. the 6 speed is more impressive.

if you import one route it via brisbane and I'll work a bit of magic on it.

Thanks Chris, good answers that are so appreciated. Although, just to clarify, can you please answer a couple more...

Can you can add a DVD Player to the Standard Screen, with that player having inputs for Playstation & Rear View Camera's etc? What unit do you recommend and what are the costs roughly?

What is it worth roughly to get the TV Working well, I presume the work required is similar to getting the right frequencies for the Radio?

Is the Bose a good unit if you compare it with a High end head unit with DAB FM, DVD, MP3, Time Correction and all the bells and whistles? I usually use an ALPINE fairly high up in the range, not the top couple and multiple thousands but just below.

The screens are so cheap now too and I would guess that after 4 or 5 years the BOSE unit would be a bit tired and lacking in features, that an upgrade of speakers and amps would bring a big improvement.

In regards to 'Dash' Panels etc, what are you up for to replace the Bose unit, if your not happy with it? Two Screens would look pretty cool...

Would love to get an expert to work on it, do you have a website where I can check your work out and you list of options? Do you travel?

Thanks again and I am getting a little excited now and I haven't even driven one...

Would love to get an expert to work on it, your website is Audio Express, under your sig? Hopefully, I can check your work out and your list of options? Do you travel?

audio express is my business. does car audio (integration in the case of a 35.) car security and reworks of JDM cars.

best to call me on your main questions. the short version to your questions is anything can be done given time and $$.

if you are used to alpine top shelf gear then the bose system may disappoint you.

yes I do travel but its easier if you import a car route it via brisbane. depending on the job size it will take me 2-3 days to do.

call me and we'll go from there.

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
