The face plate as in.... not the TV itself.. that came totally intact.

But the plate that will go around the actual unit that will hide the gap between the dash and the unit itself. if ya get what I mean?

(I got it for the price I did because it was the working sample at JB, and the last one there. A small price to pay for over 50% off!)

I don't think they come with one man... just got the last one in the chatswood jb and it didn't come with one either... so either they don't come with one or jb has f*%d us both over...

I should get you to come do my bargaining for me next time... i only managed to get them down to $845... you've done extrememly well...

Let me know what your running off it and how it performs... need some decent advice on speakers and amp...

I'm not really an expert in car audio.. but, my mate and I went down to JB and had a gander. I ended leaving with:

JL Splits (front)

Alpine mono-block amp

12" pioneer sub w/ box (looking into making custom box - eventually)

Wiring kit

and the JVC double din unit.

All for around $1600, initially it was $1800.

A few people have criticised me for not staying with the one brand, but in the end they all complimented each other and works well.

Both budget and performance came into play (in that particular order), and so far I'm pretty stoked at the quality sound that's coming out.

The rear speakers were replaced with some older JL's, nothing fancy. So I'm assuming with some better speakers at the rear that, compliment the setup, it should be pretty sweeeet!

I guess its not THAT bad.. it's not the grand canyon or anything, but in the installation guide that I downloaded (it didn't come with one, or the instructions, but readily available on the internet), it pointed out that a plate should be included for the installation in NISSAN cars.

Now I'm just interested in what difference it could make!

What about from a plastics supplier? They do cash sales to the public normally. Do you cut it with a jigsaw and clean up the edges with a bit of filing?

possibly. I use a knife and score it. jigsaw will leave a molten mess on the edges. I usually do not need to file it. if I do I use a deburring tool.

I have never seen them with one. I tend to make them as needed. how gappy is it?

Chris, you say you make these? Mine is a little gappy too... particularly at the bottom where it must be close to 5mm give or take...

If I wanted you to make me one them what would it cost and what is the best way to do it if I am in Sydney and you are up north? Can you do it if i give you a few photos or is it a bit of a precision job? How do you make the thing stay there? Some type of clip...??

show me a pic of yours assenbled. I may be able to make a suggestion or two.

ok. tat face drops out so what ever is made will have to go on the unit. thing being I CANNOT make something like that fit perfectly from an image. wasn't sure what you had. same problem exists with a alpine version. really need the car in front of me to make it fit neatly.

yeah no problem... thought that might be the case anyway... i will get in contact with JVC because as STAR33 pointed out, the list of included components says there should be a faceplate included... cheers chris :cheers:

yeah I've looked on ebay and all that, but couldn't find anything.

On the net I could find installation kits, but they're in America and it comes with soo much more than we need.

I'll try get in contact with JVC. I'll give them a little 'fist to face' payments.. hahah.. nah.

Perhaps they offer some sort of replacements?

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
