What Do Aftermarket Stereo's Look Like In The V35? Do They Use The Same Slots In The Console?

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?

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.

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.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
