Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

Yeah I bet replacing the unit as a whole would be their first option, they have a few on the yard. I'll be sure to specify a new laser.

If they want me to go away they'd better do it right. :)

I think you're lucky the dealer will even cover the Bose stacker. Most dealers in NZ seem to opt out of covering the audio systems in imports. There aren't that many good car audio repair people around in Auckland these days, but if you or they need a good one, I can recommend one if required.

BTW, where did you get your Stag from? Ha ha I thought I recognised your avatar here at Trademe, in Lower Hutt:

Maybe it's your car's long lost sister?

Ha ha it's true! It was the only clean photo I knew off when I signed up. Mine is identical though, inside & out.

Once I have a chance to clean it, between showers, I'll get one up.

I'm lucky with the dealer though, Buy Right Cars in Panmure. Firstly it's been less than two weeks and secondly (rather ignorantly) I specifically requested a Bose system and they raved about this one. They might try it on once they get the repair bill though.

At this stage they've said they will repair it, as they 'have a guy', and will provide me a loan car. Can't really ask for better than that!

not worth a lot if they do not fix it properly as I stated onthe phone today. those mechs are gettin on a minimum of 6 yrs old and the last one I did took 6 months ex japan (and ex china where they are made.) to get to me.

one other issue that will crop up: the radio will die totally and when it does it will take the A/C system with it..

Damn it's all good news :P . When (probably not 'if') it stuffs up again I guess we'll have to rip it out and give it the proper treatment! Maybe I should've bought the silver one with the standard deck... Oh well, at least the speakers, sub & amp can stay! :rofl:

a major reason why I bought my turbo was that it did not have the built in sounds and I could fit my awesomely good one that still performs after 6 years' heavy use (only one blown door speaker, easily repaired)

+1, could see it being a problem down the track, mind you, I like the idea of the sub in the spare wheel...

I am tossing up between importing into OZ ,from a Japanese auction, a cheaper Stagea CS 34 and a more expensive Stagea M35.

I have not driven or physically seen one and am not able to in my location.

How much different are these 2 in specs and performance ? eg the last version of CS34 and the first year of the M35

Which model gives better value for money ?

Are both easy to get parts locally?

Does one have a better re-sale value over another?

Do either have xenon lights?

I was inclined to go with the CS34 as it is seems to be a GTS turbo in a wagon as it will be much cheaper .

At the moment I am very much uneducated when tying to compare both cars

They are two totally different cars.....the M35 goes better in stock form(RS260 is quicker though). Depends what you call good value for money.....if I'm spending 30K on a car the M35 is excellent!....if I'm spending 20K on a car the C34 is excellent. The C34 is a lot easier to source parts for. The RS260 has the best resale of them all. There not suppose to have Xenon lights.

Got my car back now and all is good. They replaced the laser & the laser drive gear with new so hopefully I'll get a good run now.

Just had a wheel alignment & a brake skim done plus some Bendix DB1232's added, feels alot better now, no more shudder.

Service at Nissan to follow shortly but I'll be doing the oil change. I've got Motul 300v & a Nismo Veruspeed oil filter # 15208-RN010. K&N filter will be going in and plenum will be cleaned out. Then it'll be out with the TV tuner to be modded by Chris. :P

Hello. I've just purchased an M35 and looking at pick up on Tuesday. I was very happy with the test drive and with the service i got from the dealer i went to. The car felt very solid and drove very well.

The only thing that wasn't perfect was when i pressed the accelerator down to overtake, there was a slight lag in the transmission gearing down. But once it did, it took off nicely (i'm guessing this is normal for all M35's).

I've noticed that in the sat nav compartment that the actual drive says "DVD ROM". Is there a converter that can enable this to play DVD's on the in-dash screen?

Also, with the Japanese writing on the buttons for browsing the screen, is there someone on here that does stickers that can replace these with english translated ones?

Thanks fellas,

Dimi.

The English stickers to put over the buttons are available off ebay but IMO they do not look that good nor do I think you need them.

The DVD rom is actually a little computer and will never play DVD movies.

You will need to input any other device like, local TV tuner, Ipod or DVD player through the OEM TV tuner AUX function. Just remember that this is a NTSC screen not PAL.

Cheers

Thanks Andy.

You've been helping me via e-mail about my english conversion questions.

I think the dealer is actually getting you to do the conversion on my Stagea this week because I mentioned your name and they knew who you were.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
