This is nice man! Do you have a build thread?

Yeah dude, I was keeping track of that!

I'm going to say most of you will have heard of mighty car mods. Here is their 2nd channel. You may be interested. Although not traditional, should still be interesting.

Dude they look so good. What's the comfort level like? If I had the black interior I would definitely be putting this high on the mod list.

Interested, mine is quite loose towards the rear of the car.

This looks really good, been reading into these headunits lately. Do you have the OBD working, and can you export video to the popup screen? would be handy to have gps on the popup and something else like a music app on the main, so you don't have to look down as much

Damn, I'll have to keep looking. I was hoping it may have been a site online, I don't really want to see if I can get one from Nissan direct ($$$$$$$$$$). I may see if I can find that group, being in NZ myself Also, that plenum looks good, a flapper disc and autosol you say? hmmm.

Yeah man, I'm after one, was wondering where he got it from. I reckon they are a nice subtle touch, you think so?

Dude where did you get the wing from?

Turbo or supercharged VK then?

Parked in the uni carpark in June, some kid back out and dented and scratched the front passenger fender and front bar, and scratched the rim. Luckily he was a good kid, left a note saying to go see security, he'd given security his contact details as it was raining (he was 17, pretty top thinking really) Rang them, got it all sorted after parents asked to see the car to ensure quotes were correct, they were pretty good about it too. Went to the local, got the guard and front bar fixed, both wheels on the passenger side got a respray as they couldn't match the colour. So now I'm thinking I have to get the other side matched

Hmmm I had a similar problem on my Mondeo, was fine when cruising and low accel, when flooring it it jumped and jerked everywhere. Turned out that a spark plug was not sparking correctly and jumping down the side of the plug, or something along the lines of this. A new set of plugs fixed the problem immediately. However, if you are throwing a code, best to fix this, rather than having more significant problems later down the line

Dude this is awesome, shout out from NZ

That's true. I guess this enables mirroring of both android AND apple, without the need for a new headunit/dvd screen, utilising stock ones. Plus it seems easy to install. But it does have its drawbacks. You still have to use your phone rather than the screen. But with further reading, it appears they're developing new models to utilise stock touchscreens? Not sure. Cool little unit though, in my opinion, and if you want to use GPS, music and video, for cars like ours (M35 and V35) it could be cheaper to use a unit like this than to buy a headunit and new stereo surround, depending on your uses.

I believe you connect the little box via RCA cables or HDMI to your in-car screen, and then you connect to it wirelessly through your phone and it mirrors the phone's screen onto your in-car screen.

Okay, so this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it is interesting nonetheless. http://kivic-one.com/en/ What the thing does is mirror the screen of your smartphone wirelessly onto a screen into your car. It is powered by USB and connects with AV cables or HDMI (your choice). So I'm not condoning using your phone while driving, but seriously, if you had one of these it could be quite convenient, especially with our screens. You could set up your GPS maps, have your music playing or streaming, or play or stream video (to the back seats, of course) all from your phone, connecting as soon as you get in your car. Thoughts? Obviously some drawbacks, but its look easy to set up and opens up a couple of things without major hacking or installations.

I've probably seen your V35 around then, I'm in a M35 Stagea around Tauranga as well - Hi guys!

This has reasonable instructions on how to remove all the panels to get the radio out, It says G35 but it is effectively the same, maybe minor changes to screw locations etc. You have the fascia?

Exactly the same as this:

Dive gear for tomorrow, still have 2 more bags to put in for the three of us, plenty of room.

I'll take a photo of mine, show you how the aux pins came out. Na, if you have the TV in aux, you only need the handbrake bypass to access video. But if you're driving you don't really need the bypass anyways, unless you put in a reverse cam. But the audio still plays wen moving. For the Audio, the pins are stated in this topic: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/347479-fitting-an-asuka-tv-tuner-in-a-m35/ The first post is great, it tells you how to wire up a lead of your own, and which pinouts are which in a nice diagram. If you are making your own lead, my suggestion is put the video in at the same time.

If you end up making it, its nice and easy, plus you can route the cables anywhere you like. I ended up placing a nice set into the side of the centre console (kind of like the wall mounted ones, or like wha you see out the back of a stero, but inside the centre console, if you get what i mean?) Was pretty easy, only required 3 small holes and a bit of solder for the wires, lookes nice and tidy, and is out of the way of prying eyes. If you were anywhere near Tauranga I'd give you a hand.

Yup, you can setup an Aux cord including video for the TV to run, I'm currently using an iPod classic for all my music and it just runs though the TV tuner. Wiring take a little bi of running bu its worth it. I leave my Radio on Aux most of the time, or if you have the steering wheel controls, just press mode until it goes to aux (this is the easiest way I've found). Take a look at this topic: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/203961-stagea-series-2-m35-digital-tv-upgrade/page-10 And you'll see the plug about 2 posts down to use. You can either make one of these (I think in that topic it tells you how), you can order one, or, if you are lucky enough, you might find a wrecked stagea with one of the looms. Simply plug it into the tv tuner (located in the passenger side of the boot, you need to remove the side pocket) and then route it to wherever you wish (mine is in my centre console) Hope this helps

I've got a 3L DD in Tauranga, runs great, fuel is around 10.0l/100km including both town and open road driving since I've owned it. But if you are chosing between 2.5 NA and 3.5 NA go with the 3.5, my auntie had the 2.5 NAs as company cars and had heaps of problems because they worked too hard pulling the weight with no turbo. Being honest, I think the 3L is great, its a balance between sizes and power. Somewhat of a shame its DD not DE but if you aren't modding the motor, theres no worries at all. There are some Stageas with cruise control, but if you don't get one with it from factory, there are some aftermarket options available, I'm sure the guys on the forum will be able to help you out with that, especially as they know how to keep it looking factory. I'm not really sure about benefits between 4WD and 2WD 3.5L motors/cars. I guess better traction on 4WD cars? Someone else with more experience/knowledge will be able to fill you in on this. Hope this helps.

I can get all that, half my family is in that business. I've only had manuals up until now, I'm not 100% sure whether I'd be over the auto if I got it done, but I think it would add something to the car. However, I completely see where you are coming from, and I agree with the good resale value.
