Hi all im about to buy a new headunit/mp3 to be fitted in my r34 but i notice how my dash isnt line up straight as how normal headunits are?

i cant really expalin it so heres a pic (look at the left side of the tape plater is straight while the right side is slanted)

I recken with the aftermarket HU surround plate, you could fibreglass it to the right size? Might want to get a pro to do it for you... i'm not sure how much it would cost, but it's not a huge piece of work.

acutally a different panel will fix that. see if you can find another R34 with the 'normal' radio in it and grab the VIN. run dow to nissan and get teh right part.

never seen that unit - what version 34? (chassis code pls.)

Mines setup exactly the same way. Cassette underneath, climate control in the middle, and tv headunit up top.

Unfortunately you're going to have to make your own bezel like I did. I'm still not happy with mine and going to redo it in carbon fibre.

The way that is set up is for the R34s that came out with the TV Screen instead of the Triple Gauge Cluster...

Howie; your car would have had the TV Screen on top - I'm assuming you have replaced it with the gauge pod (from the looks of it anyway)

Peteness; you can either remove the TV screen and put the triple gauges in like Howie; or you can rig the TV Screen up to another DVD player of some sort and watch stuff off it :)

You have PM.

^^ that is correct... this is because the centre console of the R34 flares outwards as you go up like this: \ /

The climate control would need to be wider to fit in the new position if you were to incorporate the double DIN space.

If anyone can get the fascia for the double DIN space; or the part number from Nissan that would be awesome; I will love you! Every time I've tried to get the part number; I've failed miserably~

The previous owner replaced it, i even found a boat load of diversity antenna gear still in the boot.

satanic, isn't the part no# in the japanese manual ? That thing has nearly everything in there lol.

This is the reason you shouldn't buy an R34 with navigation in it :(

You can get the replacement aircon control unit from Yahoo auctions and rip out the navigation system. You will also need the centre console front fascia also available on the auction site.

This is what it's supposed to look like:

Well according to FAST its the part highlighted in red in this image.

If that's the right part then the part number is 68260-AA400. It's called a LID-CLUSTER...

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
