G'day.

After a couple of months of trying to get my CD stacker to work (the Jap one that came with the car & is missing a cartridge), I've decided to bite the bullet & get a new stereo.

I don't want to win any competitions & I don't care whether I have the latest, greatest sound system.

I just want a good quality mid-range CD player & radio in the car, playing through the existing speakers.

SO, do any of you guys know how I go about working out which systems are best value?

Does anyone have recommendations of single DIN CD/radios?

Any advice would be welcome. :D

Cheers - Sven :P

figure out how much you want to spend and we might be able to help you more.

JB HiFi are always a good place to start. They have a wide range of headunits and are very reasonably prices and generally bargin.

Play around with them and find out which features you will use then find a unit that suits you. Never pay the listed full price at any store, there are always better prices to be had!

at first i wanted the new jvc HU with the blue display ... it looks ok on paper ... quite nice actually but when u have a closer look at the display its not very good at all ... and lets down what should be an excellent deck!! i then thought about pioneer but then i thought that they were sooo common and if u play with the knob on the right hand side of the 03 range u will find that its pretty dodgy ... so then i had a look at the alpine ... it didn't have the rice features like the animations ... but then i thought ... but hey its got blue and green lights ... thats rice enough :D ... so yeah i'm defintely going for alpine based on looks and features ... i dont' think u can go past alpine on features for actual audio ... but yeah u gotta look and have a play around with everything whcih i've done ... and yes i didn't even give sony a chance.. i think they look ugly and don't even come close to having as much features ...

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
