Hi all, just wanna make a quick question about the factoy bose unit on the 2003 V35, is it common for the 6 discs cd stacker to break or jam?? and is it a easy fix?? I have done abit of research and found some horrible stories, that a faulty cd stacker could lead to A/C malfunctions and battery drains and other disastrous scenarios...I would like to know if these are just some extreme cases or a common issue which most owners experience, only reason asking is bcuz I have looked into buying a 03 model v35 skyline and the cd stacker happened to be apparently "jammed" with error code F0 or soemthing...dont really mind if its an easy fix but if it is a quite seriouse issue then i might have to reconsider...

owners comments and experiences would be greatly appreciated

thanks all

VERY common. I get a call a week asking for a way to fix them. parts are not available for them due to age and the best solution is to rip the lot and sart fresh.

happy to elaborate on it if you wish.

so i guess double din unit and the facia kit is the way to go, just wondering does the factory pop up screen still work after the conversion? or does it become completely useless?

I went with a CarPC, and left the dead CD staker where it was. I can also switch over to the inbuilt nissan computer for fuel economy and service intervals etc

And if you get the correct cable from Chris ^^^, you can plug whatever device you like into the factory tv :)

I have my CarPC plugged into this screen using a cable from Chris, and also a reverse camera which switches over automatically when you put it in reverse.

So the factory screen is very useful. My center console looks completely stock, and it all tucks away as original.

BFH! (Big Fkn Hammer.)

seriously it is full strip down of the thing and at the end of it the unit is a throw away. this depends WHERE the transport has locked up. some are easy to strip others you will destroy pulling them apart.

time to bend over and take it like a man :P

its a new panel,ac controls, bose lead and SWC unit then a new radio then its fixed. its not going to be a cheap exercise.

There is a how to on the removal of the CD's on youtube

Chris - With the cartridge removed as in the video, will the radio, tape, AC etc still function or is there a self check it does that will make it spit the dummy?

I'm going to have to decide whether to add Ipod interface or do the financially painful change to a double din setup. Not looking forward to it.

it will run without it BUT the ipod lead that I sell will not work as it disables the port that it plugs into if you remove it. there is a trick to it but it is at board level and I do not wish to disclose that for the express reason people will start harassing me when they destroy a board whilst trying to mod it.

Mark, buy this

http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item3cbbeb0f3c or a new one = $300 shipped these days

and this

= profit!!!

Looks good. Is that a Metra Kit or Original?

How well does the colour matching with the G35 kits go with the V35 interiors especially on a 2001 300GT?

Edited by o2bfit

That is a 2nd hand original kit. DON'T EVER CONSIDER USING THE METRA. It is a pos. You can spot the Metra rubber buttons a mile off - they are crap and apparently the climate units are know for failing.

Colour match is perfect on mine.

Question regarding the interior colour. The interior of the my 2001 300GT console is a dull khaki dark greyish colour which I assume is Willow (its certainly no silver or black). There appears to be differences in the jdm colour advertised on ebay, some mention it is a silver/willow, some willow has dark grey on the vents.

This is the closest I've found to my interior but the seller won't ship to NZ.

Does anyone have any information about the interior colours available for the V35 and G35?

    • 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?
