My port looks like that, but I don't have the cable. Nor the 'BOSE for Skyline' badge, even thought I have the BOSE stereo (SP model).

Mines all Infiniti badging anyway.

BTW am in touch with a company in NZ that makes the band expanders - only $30 NZ delivered for very high quality ones.

Still need to work this out: 'Also I would need to know what type of antenna plug is in the back of the radio unit eg. A single plug or a twin pin plug as these model vehicles varied."

Anyone know?

There are quite a few band expanders available here in NZ, quite a few advertised on TradeMe also

Before you order one check what Mhz you require, they generally come in two different Mhz ranges and you will need to decide which is appropriate for the FM signal range that you use

Very easy to install for most cars, except for Nissan and those damn aerial plugs they have. TradeMe also usually has adaptors for the Nissan aerials listed

Hi David,

Thank you for your enquiry. What area are you in Australia so I can

work out the frequency range you would need and also are the main stations

you listen to in the higher band range eg.over 100MHz? Also I would need to

know what type of antenna plug is in the back of the radio unit eg. A single

plug or a twin pin plug as these model vehicles varied.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I'm in Melbourne. I like to listen to as high as 107.5Mhz and as low

as 89.9Mhz (or perhaps a little lower).

Is there an easy way for me to determine the antenna plug?

How much are the units + shipping?

Regards,

David.

Hi David,

The unit you need is a 10MHz which will allow reception below 100MHz

by deducted 10MHz from the station you want and 20MHz deduction for stations

above 100MHz. The cost is NZ$30.00 including airpostage.

There is no easy way. If the radio is a factory unit then it will probably

have a twin plug as they have a diverse antenna. If it has had the Bose

system installed instead of the factory unit then it will more than likely

have a single plug.That's as close as I can tell you.

Payment per Visa/Mastercard or PayPal or Bank Direct credit if you can do

that from Australia.

Regards,

Peter

Hmmm... don't suppose you took a photo? Did you order one from fmBand Expanders in NZ?

I'm going to have a Tom Tom (Mini USB) plug wired in too while I'm at it.

If I CBF'd I was going to investigate having a mini SD set top box powered and connected up to the AUX. Unsure how the reception would be though with little/no aerial.

Hey - is your V36 manual? If so Geoff told me about yours.

I'm in Hobart regularly on business. If you ever come down this way let me know. Would love to bring my one over on the ferry but don't know if I could be bothered with the 10+ hour trip.

Hey, yeah it's a six sp. Didn't take a pic, spat it when it didn't fit and just left it. Got it from Leading Edge.

What do you do for a crust that brings you to Hobart?

Boat trip isn't that bad, I've done over half a dozen times (not much on flying).

It's comforting to know the AFS OFF flashing indicator was because of the HID's being removed. That was my theory but considering I saw a little movement from my headlights before it would start flashing, I wasn't too sure what to think. I'm guessing the motorised assembly is getting jammed on something so to avoid burning anything out, it then switches it off.

I've left my AFS switch in the off position until I refit my HIDs on my next day off (and hopefully dry weather).

I would like to write a conclusion for this thread.

1. Both headlights move with steering

2. AFS function is fully restored when you revert back to D2S hid

3. Light emission 'pattern' is back when you revert back to D2S hid.

Adr compliance is stupid. Nissan design its headlight to run oem hid. People here switch it out to standard halogen globe, predominantly H1 size in which has different focal length. Then what you get is NO LIGHT THROUGH THE CENTRE OF YOUR VISION, short visible distance and your AFS malfunctions. Dangerous?? But the adr wants it that way...go figure!

Fortunately if the workshop who did the compliance are smart and proper, buy the D2S hid globe and it only takes 30mins to revert back to hid. At least it was on my 08 V36

Adr compliance is stupid.

Of course. They're trying to follow the UK one I think, with the washers etc. That's great for apline regions, don't need it in Aus. Either way, if it works for the Japanese, why can't it work for us?

Oh that's right, 50% of the cars on the road have the headlights pointed too high. Literally nothing can be done about that, even if you put adjusters in as standard (which is the case in Europe).

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
