This is just from memory so it could be slightly wrong

push the TV button on the left panel near the bottom

on the screen push the far r/h button to scroll thru something like this

TV(auto) -> TV(manual) -> AV1 -> AV2 -> back to the start

any probs & I'll physically check

good luck!

correct, but AV2(called VTR2 I think) will not display unless something is plugged into it, you will probably need the original factory stereo to get a sound from AV1. Most modern head units have the input plug anyway, with far better sound than the clarion unit, and no need for band expanders.

Errr... Chook, correct me if I am wrong, but do you mean that we can leave original Xanavi Double DIN unit in place , replace only factory radio (strereo) and connect Xanavi Head unit to it ?

That would be interesting... can that be done?

Do you mean that you want to use the AV inputs on the front of the xanavi and play this through an aftermarket headunit ? if someone could pin-out the right wires on the back it should be possible, as well as play cd's on the xanavi. But considering the low price of quality headunits with front inputs these days, it wouldnt be worth the hassle.

That's true. I thought there might be some use to replacing just the single-DIN radio/headunit, but I guess you would then lose the capability to control the 6-stacker in the boot... best then I guess to either do the TV conversion & take advantage of that LCD display (:(http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...Tv-t203961.html) or get rid of it altogether.

On a related topic, in researching the connections on the back of the Xanavi centre-console unit itself, someone somewhere posted a pic' of the rear of the centre console Xanavi cluster on here a while back... does anyone have a link to it as I can't find it in a few different searches?

A stacker can't compare with an mp3-dvd head unit, not to mention the sound improvement over the factory head unit. Got rid of mine as soon as possible.

Dont know where that pic is, there are quite a few dozen wires going into back of the xanavi, did you want to compare the air-con connections ?

Actually I mainly wanted to know if the brackets for the Xanavi were the same as for the 3-DIN setup with the stand-alone climate control unit or if they were different. These are the brackets I mean (not sure if these are standard or Xanavi):

thanks Mike :laugh: I think you predicted early on that I'd end up swapping out my Xanavi

Ah, I am afraid, it's time for me to clarify something. What does actually Xanavi unit do ? Or, I think I'd better put it that way, where is the amplifier located (if you can call that thing "an amplifier") ? Does Xanavi have an built-in amplifier or single din stereo does the job ?

Basically, what I want to get, it's quite simple - I want to keep Xanavi unit and use it's LCD screen to play movies, use it for climate control system ,etc, but I also want to swap single-din stereo and put something better instead, probably even MP3/dvd player or just a good single-din stereo. I'd also like to keep existing functionality, as volume control, etc on a steering wheel.

Am I asking too much ? :cheers:

No amplifier, just a screen, aftermarket single din stereo will be a good upgrade. You will lose the ability to play CD's on the Xanavi and you might lose the functionality of the steering volume unless you are talentled with electronics and can integrate it with your aftermarket one somehow.

Losing an ability to play CDs on the Xanavi is not a big deal as a single din stereo will do the job, but I'd like to keep functionality on a steering weel. Ahhhrrr :cheers:

Just wonder if anyone managed to connect an aftermarket stereo and keep that functionality at the same time ?

Reference on the ALPINE site. scroll down to ' Steering remote ready ', talks about using the factory steering buttons. http://www.alpine.com.au/support/glossary.asp

Is the head unit clarion ? Could be compatable with an aftermarket Clarion ?

Either way, if you talk to the right car sound people (not JB), it is highly likely you can keep them working.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
