MEH!

My CD player won't eject a CD and i'm getting 'CD Err F0.' I reckon it's just cheaper to sort out a connection to my ipod. Is there an AUX at the back of the player or do I need to buy an adaptor, similar to the V35's.

Oh and I didn't realise VE SS did the 100 in only 5.5secs, dayyamm

There are heaps of threads about "fixing" the CD error, have a search in here or in the V35 section.

For an iPod connection to the OEM head unit, the USA Spec PA15-NIS is what you'd be after for simple plug and play (although you will need to get behind the headunit)

I use that same USA Spec set up. Awesome sound quality and VERY easy to fit and set up. Cost was under $150 delivered from the US. It also has a spare audio input if you want to hook something else to it and also charges the iPhone.

scchwweet, thanks for link.

I ordered mine here. Mine was a tad cheaper as the dollar was higher at the time

Hi All

Had a strange idling problem with my ARX - I was driving the car for good 2 hours then pulled over

strangely the car idles so low where it feels like its going to die. Any thoughts?

Also, can anyone PM me service details for each KMS ie: 10,000kms service and so fort

Thanks everyone

Cheers!!!!

So that will fit the non bose system? Does an installation manual come with it?

Yep fits the single DIN factory deck. Comes with instructions although its very easy to install. All you need to do is name the playlists on your iPhone with Nissan in them.

I run:

Nissan 1 - artists

Nissan 2 - albums

Nissan 3 - all songs

Nissan 4 - blank

Nissan 5 - blank

Nissan 6 - blank

You can set them how you like but you need to name them 1-6 with Nissan.

Nissan 5 allow direct iPhone control rather than control from the deck. If in 1-3 playlists you can jump song/albums/artist via the 1-6 buttons on the head unit.

Overall its a great unit to connect your iPhone/ipod.

Import monster/ streeter?

On another note, Im looking at wheels at the moment. Im not happy with the flap in the sidewall I currently have on one, especially considering I have a drive to Melbourne coming up. Not replacing tyres on the 17s, rather move to 18s.

Looking at either 350z track 18x8+30 or CE28S 18x8.5+30.

Ive seen pics of the 350z track fitment and it looks good. Ive also seen people with 19x8.5+22 and it looks good. Would i be right in thinking 18x8.5+30 will be a good fit?

Not sure if you remember how mine sit but they are 9+30 and I wouldn't go any lesser than that. I think a 8.5+30 will sit in the guard too far.

I'm running +37 by 8.5 and they don't stick in to far.....you can always run some spacers if you want more track!

No the 8.5 will sit out another 6mm and in another 6mm. To fill the guards I would go either a 9+30 or 8.5+22 or if you want them Out the guard a little go for 9+25. These sizes keep good clearance inside to the suspension arm.

PM me your number and I'll send you a pic of how mine sit, can't upload on here as I accidentally killed my MacBook yesterday ?

Well the 350Z Track wheels look ok, based on the pics Ironpaw has posted:

001-Copy.jpg

002-Copy.jpg

003-Copy.jpg

004-Copy.jpg

005-Copy.jpg

So if the 8.5 is going to give me another 6mm that sounds fine. I don't need to fill the guards right up, and I don't really want them out the guards.

Just wanted to make sure they'd clear, and try and get an idea of how the 18x8.5+30 would look compared to the 350Z 18x8+30, because I knew there were pics online of the 350Z wheels. Might give the guy a call and try and drop round and test fit on the weekend.

Cheers for the help, PM sent.

All depends on how much low you have.

The moar low, the bigger offset you can tuck in- to a point. If you dropped Ironpaws car 1 inch all round, the wheels would be tucked in and IMO wouldn't look great.

Just type in "wheel offset calculator" into Google, and that will tell you how much it will change by. Stock is 17x7 +45. Go from there. We have seen up to 18x9.5 +30... or maybe even a tougher offset on M35s.

Yep, your car is pretty damn low from memory Ryan! I'd be thinking you'll need 10mm spacers at a minimum to make them look even remotely close to "fitment".

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
