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.

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.

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?

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?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
