Hi Every1,

Was wondering if anybody has the part numbers for what would be known as a 'double din conversion kit' for a R34 GTR?

Interested in how many parts are included in the kit.

I have factory NAV in my GTR, hence why I need it. Wondering whether the air con replacement is a new facia which snaps on to the existing air con control unit, or whether you need to replace the whole thing?

Thanks in advance.

Its already double din iso ( tiny bit off double din todays standard but not much to worry about )

No kit needed but some trim rings wont fit right without filing the trim ring slightly or some dont need trim ring mounted , only slot the existing holes in the cage holding the radio to set it back a bit further to make it look perfect

Note tape a thick soft towel around the console / gear surround to set the razor sharp cage on or it farks the surround black bits and its near impossible to repair ,

Double din rules fark the single din look is boring

Hello, thanks for your reply.

My car has the NAV unit, I need to convert it to the one like in the pic in the previous post.

Air con controls are one step further down and the NAV unit controls are in its standard place. The air con unit is a little bit smaller than standard.

Its been covered a few hundred times

But you just need the face plate off a newer or gtt , gt model car for the a/c and move it up a spot

The double din cage exists already behind the pocket

The controls fit exactly the same just fills the gap all the way across

The nav wont work here anyhow , the mfd will and can be used still , where are you located

Chris rogers on sau deals a lot with these parts and will help you a fair bit

Mine has ambient air , the newer cars came with it , mine has snow package as well , heated mirrors , sunroof heater and a super demist function in the control for a/c

i have a few facia's in the shed i'll see if i can find the part # in am

The parts dont have embossed numbers and no stickers?

Pm your email addy and i can send photos to you of what I'm

Talking about ( crappy iphone not able to use flash to upload !!)

And photofark it times out

you only need the plastic face not the guts , it just unsnaps

And you swap them over , screw to cage and back into car screws under mfd

And vents out

Yes mate, spot on.

Yea fair enough, mine came with the aircon unit up top so cant help you much there.. i just removed the old single din unit and replaced it with a nice alpine unit.... goes really will with the interior i think.. not cheap though.

you palnning on putting in something like that?

Sorry thats not right

You only need the facia not the whole A/C climate control , gtr and some of the other R34 have ambient air temp sensor as well so you have to be careful which one , the silver knob pushes in on ambient air temp model the other one wont

The sensor is just in front of the lower driver side radiator , a plug with a small item in held out space and held on with 10 mm bolt

You just unsnap the old single din shaped faceplate, unbolt the circle behind the knob first

And slap on the new wider angled one its that easy and bolt on the circle bit and shove the knob back on , its a good time to go change the lights to LED since a lot are burned out and dated looking anyhow

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
