Hi guys, I've done hours of searching but just wondering if anyone knows where to get a dash mat (I hate the reflection on the windscreen) and if there was a premium speaker package sold for the v36 350gt sedans? The speakers are good but just wondering if there was a premium bose package in some models that I might be able to find second hand on ebay? Thanks

You are better off getting an aftermarket system into the car over the Bose system. It does not sound Bose at all and is very low quality in terms of sound. However for OEM it is okay-ish

What Colin said. If you're going to go to the trouble of taking things apart to upgrade them, you may as well do it significantly better than the Bose stuff and for probably around the same cash if you look in the right places.

And if you're going to get aftermarket speakers, you should get an amp with that. So front and rear speakers with an accompanying 4chn amp. Then a mono amp with the sub. This may be my personal preference but if you're doing all this make sure you get the signal at the head unit for the cleanest sound. However from my experience the signal is shit anyway so get an Addison bit ten to clean the signal up and with that a signal booster to boost the sub signal.

Again this is my opinion, I'm probably a snob when it comes to sound quality. Do what you think suits your taste in quality. But definitely if you're looking at oem Bose, just go aftermarket right away.

Thanks for the responses guys, yeah I wasn't sure how much better the premium speakers would be. Sounds like aftermarket is the way to go. It also sounds like the dash mat is a hard one hey. You can get them made in the US and shipped over but of course they are for infiniti's and designed for a left hand drive dash...

If a dash mat is that imp for ya, just go to a good car upholstery shop and get it custom made will sure fit better and you can choose color/quality of fabric too, im sure they will be able to make you one.

Try looking for 3m mats....i think they make them for the specific car or you can send in your own measurements. They are heavy duty, all season and traps dirt, sand etc for easy cleaning as well.

wow, found my old post. I ended up going with a Shevron dash mat. It fits pretty well but would not recommend getting the black one that I did. It's made of a very reflective material that puts a lot of glare on the windscreen - the exact thing I was trying to get rid of. I think it is still slightly better than no mat at all though...

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
