Hey guys,

I just finished my upgrade with a double din kit and a nismo shift knob, here are the pictures.

parts involved:

1. JDM double din kit: frame and AC control (from US ebay). I soldered the dual control button myself as well.

2. XTRONS touch screen head unit with DVD, Radio, SD card, GPS, TV, USB, Ipod control......(from ebay australia).

I connected the brake lead to the ground so I can play DVD even when I am driving, but I know it's dangerous.

3. Beatsonic BOSE lead (from Chris), not METRA 70-7551 NISSAN FACTORY AMP INTERGRADE HARNESS.

4. nismo manual shift knob (from US ebay)

I also ordered a Nissan Antenna Diversity Adaptor (from Ebay Australia) for the radio, but it is included in Chris' Bose lead kit, so I had a spare one now.

That's it, enjoy!

Good work dude, looks nice!

Could you post some pics of the screen in use, playing DVD/nav/TV - im always curious to see others....

oh, and dont worry about the DVD part, i watch a movie on the way to work and home almost every day.

EDIT: Oh, and you should bring it to the V35 meet next week - it would be good to show it off!!

Edited by g33k

good to see you got it all in. beatsonic piece works a lot better than the hack attempt of the metra item.

standard issue from me when you buy the full kit.

Did this on my V35 at the start of the year same head unit and same face kit and buttons i didnt install it myself had the guys at newcastle pro sound do it, cost me around $800 all up for full GPS and RCA cables to the TV tuner to play DVD's on the OEM screen with GPS on at the same time.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
