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...??

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?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
