Hey guys i'm looking into installing an aftermarket head unit (Single DIN) on a 2003 350GT Coupe.

I understand that the Metra ones have pretty crappy buttons, any chance i could get a JDM dash kit somewhere and use the same buttons?

I don't want to lose the dual climate function, and i'm located in Sydney.

Also i got a quote for the Aerpro v35 kit at $400AUD.

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the Aerpro and the Metra dash kit on eBay?

The guy told me Metra are designed for US LHD models. But i was certain they are the exact same ones.

No you can't use the stock buttons, as the climate controls are physically on the same board as the stereo. Remove one, you remove them both.

DO NOT both with any other unit than oem. Rubber buttons look crap, feel crap and apparently don't work for long.

The OEM buttons are around $300 along with the JDM dash at around $280 not even including the head unit. This is starting to look painfully costly just for mp3 support sad.gif

Not sure what you are on about - try this - Series 2 - AND retains dual climate under $350 shipped

Why do you need a new head unit for MP3 support?

Just get one of these, it'll plug straight into the rear of your oem unit.

Ordering mine from that guy thumbsup.gif

I cancelled my order with japanparts as they don't have the silver in stock, and its in back order till next month.

Thinking of changing the factory Bose.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.

      This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags.

      Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.

      Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!

      The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
