I Guys & Gals

Put in stereo (& alarm) on weekend in my S2 R33...Its all good except the DIN i used was not a nissan one but a universal & basically its a cheap piece of shite which does not fit (gaps etc)

Anyhow did a search & apparently the genuine nissan pulsar one fits in perfectly & is availble for $30-$35 which sounds good to me but then i read that a toyota one is exactly the same & is only $10...Is this true & if so which model toyota DIN should i buy?

Also i have an alpine 9831 MP3 HU & like others have encountered the surround does not fit...how have people gotten around this & is the surround supposed to sit behind the actual dash or in front?

Cheers

If i were you i would just go to nissan and get a genuine one..

otherwise you will end up with a $10 din that doesnt even fit..

otherwise try powerplay imports

they usually give sau members good deals

Give them a ring.. but they wont be open til tues due to the powerplay track day..

hope that helps..

I had no problems fitting the 9831 into my car.

Follow this guide on the HU surround. http://r33stereo.groovesystems.net/

You have to drill new holes. I have the same HU as in the guide, but i cbf'ed drilling the holes so I just removed the plastic surround and didnt use it.

As for the poket din, line it up and use eletrical tape to secure it or use cable ties. The one I used was a generic one and it fited perfectly after tieing it up with tape.

Do you have a pic of your pocket?

You can buy the pocket off me for $10? Where abouts are ya?

Yea i have that guide but i wanted the surround to sit on outside of the dash, not behind like in the guide where he has pushed his HU back so that it all fits behind

Re the pocket thanks but no thanks i would rather one that actually fits correctly rather than taping it etc

Thanks anyhow

I have used the guide. My surround sits nicely behind the fascia, can post a pic up when I go home for lunch. When I first bought the car the owner had just upgraded from the stock stereo and had the surround on the outside, it looked like crap. I sold that one and upgraded to a Nakamichi.

As for the Din pocket, I went to an Audio store and asked if they had something that would fit, ironically they had fitted a system to a brand new Nissan Navara earlier and gave it to me for $5. Perhaps you could try asking around.

Edit: Here you go. Please excuse the layer of dust on my interior

It does look good behind...all nice & flat...ok might consider doing it that way then

would the navara DIN be the same as a pulsar one?

Thanks

nissan pockets are nissan pockets. they all come from the same bin.

in regard to the toyota one - NOPE! the nissan one will boilt straight in. I usually keep them on hand for $28 (out currently.)

If you havent heard of it then chances are you haven't heard of alot of these brands: Click (go to Exotica)

Basically Nakamichi is a high end SQ brand that became famous in the 80's (but has been around since the 40's) for innovating alot of the cassette deck technology of the time. These day's they are largely overlooked, mainly because they are quite expensive and not widely available. About 99% of Nak's R&D goes into making really high fidelity sound reproduction, and as such the appearance of thier units is kept minamalistic and direcected at complimenting the rest of the vehicle's interior (hence the reason for no bling looking screens or chrome buttons).

At the time of purchase (2004) my h/u was retailing at approx $1600 from memory. I think you can buy them now for around $800, but my model does not play MP3.

Here's one of their new products that looks extreemly nice, its their new indash DVD/TV tuner:

Do you sell Nak stuff Chris?

If so do you know if you are able to get hold of Nakamichi SP-C6500 splits?

I do but not a lot of it.

I can do decks but not speakers (I'll check though.)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
