My CD player has jammed, and I also need a band extender for my radio. I've been told I should just replace the stereo system. However, I want the console to remain looking the same. I am unfamiliar with putting new sound systems in a car, and I figure they are all different shapes and sizes, and that my centre console will need to be cut to make it fit, and thus losing the buttons it currently has. Can someone explain to me how it works, or post pictures of your aftermarket stereo so I can see how one would look?

Quick shot of mine when it was in Japan post-52513-0-51869100-1313743839_thumb.jpg

You will need one of these http://www.ebay.com....=item2eb73e308e

This was just a quick search on ebay.. you can search elsewhere. :thumbsup:

Get the genuine nissan parts if you can, those aftermarket ones aren't much chop. I got one from the states for my V35 and it was around $400 or something like that delivered.

I must be using the wrong plcae in japan to get mine. the controller is worth more than that.

Yeh im not sure chris i paid around $350 i think for mine when i got it, it was from an infiniti dealer in the states that has an E Bay store link is below to his store he has a few of the AC controllers up for 150 + postage USD

I got it from an Infinti dealer on ebay. Riverside if memory serves me correctly.

I had already fitted a pair of Alpine amps in place of the std amp, and some decent speakers, which improved the overall sound,

i then picked up a top range Alpine head unit for a very good price, so rather than try and bodge up a single din into the factory

Bose slot,

So i decided to move the DVD/nav unit by elongating the wiring loom, as i wanted to keep the use of the factory screen

for my reversing camera and TV, and fit the HU there, a bit of a mission, but the result is neat and works very well, with far better sound quality as a result.

    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
    • Well found out it’s a 60th anniversary gtst from that it came with 205-55r15
