Hi Guys,

Bit of a book here, but I hope it all helps.

In March our CD player in our car started playing up, it would click for about 30 seconds whenever you started the car, sounded like a grinding of the trays on the 6 stacker. Anyway after months of looking for the solution to this problem I finally went about getting stuck into the unit to find the problem and to try and fix it.

Now there is a lot of information in www.g35driver.com

in regards to this problem, it seems to happen a fair amount and usually the best way to fix it is to take it to the dealer for a replacement under warranty. However seeing as most of our cars do not come with a Nissan Warranty we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I followed the instructiions provided on the g35Ipod install DIY as well as the many DIY on the g35driver site.

All the information is fantastic.

Now I finally got the unit out and had a proper look around, it appears that there is a problem with the actual CD player and not the trays themselves.... I am ok with that, as I finally have all the CD's out so there is no Clicking noise any more... However and I must stress this... There is a white connector that goes between the Radio Controls Circut Board and the Radio Unit itself... The little metal filiments are very fragile and are prone to flaking whilst you work on the unit. Once I completed the work on the unit, I started to reassemble everything... But the filiment had broken off slightly on the one end... poooof!!!! Fried the LCD / LED Radio Display ....

So now we are on the hunt for a new unit. I will go through Nissan Aust to see what prices we are looking at for a whole unit and also for the Display Unit....

Start Counting the Dollars Gentleman.

ouchies that will cost you mate.be thinking in the hundreds of $ possibly 1k or more.

i f i was in your situation i would consider replacing the unit with an aftermarket double din cd/md player.Hopefully the bose /clarion unit is not necessary for the cars normal functioning like the dvd rom unit is....chris will know

For the Circuit Board we are looking at around $250

For the whole unit +/- $700 if that is the case... Pioneer DVD / Touch Screen Install...

Will keep you all posted

there are aftermarket leads available to make the bose amp work with other units. just a thought:)

thats the best option.

can they be ordered thru FAST or from a japparts importer?

hopefully the lead isnt too expensive.

so is the lead universal,or would you need one for sony,one for pioneer etc?

jap parts will do the facia bits. the leads come from elsewhere.

I'll have to check if the local supplier i deal with has them.

waz,

yep same guy. I'll probably make these since the last one was 180deg out!

the DVD one will depend on demand. I'm not going to fork out $500 for 1000 plugs (persay) and not get a return on it. your lead will determine if he can get the plugs. again I'll probably make this one too.

its all packed up ready to ship out in the morn.

leads are universal (for nissan bose ) . there is not a plug and play solution for these cars.

only thing it will affect is the external audio. IE nav and TV. that can be fixed if you use the correct radio :) (IE blaupunkt.)

btw leads are available here :) I checked today. think twice if you are going to swap this thing out as it will not be a cheap exercise.

I had a call today about this from a fellow with a 250GT asking a similar question so I thought I would clear this up.

to do it properly with a screen - no real change from $2k.

Chris,

Already looked at that. not sre it the unit is the same, but the controls and facia circuit board are completely different,

Was thinking of getting the parts in Dubai at an Infinty Dealer as they are cheaper than here.

Got the costs from Nissan I was way off.

Facia $1160

6 Stack CD Player / Radio $ 2400

Any Ideas?

I was looking at another question actually. seems the cd mech in these things dies so IF a 350Z was teh same it would be a direct swap. I do know that the 04 pathfinder unit runs the same board (sans front panel in your case.) and same controls internally. been down that route looking at another question.

so what EXACTLY is wrong with yours??

have you given autotainment a ring yet (since you are in perth.) ?? was talking to him about a few other things and your topic pooped up. give him a bell - may be able to help.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
