The photo I posted is one with ambient temp.

You could change the face plate, but is it easy to find?

The climate control unit is only $150 and it's plug and play so I just thought itd be the best and easiest method.

Hi everyone,

Have just finished sourcing all of the required parts for this conversion.

For future reference, if anybody has the same factory GTR NAVI unit as mine - for clarification, the side brackets are definately different and you need to also source the double din brackets.

If anybody is actually interested in a full kit - PM me as I have one with everything you need which I am thinking of selling - Brackets, brand new genuine nissan double din facia / surround, air con unit with brand new genuine nissan replacement front face. The whole kit literally looks brand new.

I'm still tossing up whether to put it in my car or not.

Cheers.

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

made this mistake doing my double din conversion drunk, was too over excited when it finally got delivered now scratches everywhere :( will probably get it repolstered

I would be interested in purchasing any of the mentioned parts including the 2 DIN brackets and the facia and the new faceplate for the ambient control version of the heater control.  My gtr has the sat nav aswell and I'd like to convert to the 2DIN setup.

Thanks!

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
