Has anyone got a tutorial (with pics) on how to remove the center console including aircon and Popup TV unit.

I have a R34 GT-T (1999) with the Popup screen instead of the 3 guages. I thought it was kool at first but there seems to be no way to change it... So iv decided to rip it all out and spend 3000.00 on Alpine stuff + how eva much it cost to get cusom console made.

Here is a list of alpine stuff:

IVA-W202E.jpgIVA-W202E

2-DIN DVD/CD/MP3/WMA Receiver/AV Head Unit

PDX-1_600.jpgPDX-1.600

Mono Power Density Digital Amplifier

SBR-S122V.jpgSBR-S122V

Type-R 12" (30cm) Subwoofer Enclosure

TUE-T200DV.jpgTUE-T200DV

Digital TV Tuner

SPS-69C3.jpgSPS-69C3

Type-S 6x9" (15 x 23cm) Coaxial 3-Way Speaker

+ sound stream lil wonder III ( already have)

I can see there will be a few problem with the console.

1) For starters the console goes up in a V shape.

2) The order of my console goes like this. Popup screen on top, then Aircon under it. Then Popup screen controls + disc insert, then Climate controls. Then the Radio/tape player and ashtray. So the stuff I want to keep is the Aircon + aircon controls. nothing else...but it is goin to look sh!t if i keep same structure and have nothing in the spaces.

Below pics of same layout as mine, altho i have tv not guages.

So yer if anyone has any info on this or tutorials it, please send them on.

I would really like to start planning my console before i just rip it out. So pics would also be great.

Cheers.

Here's a link that has a quick explanation in it:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...io-t190792.html

1 - First pull out the ashtray and undo the screw behind it.

2 - Pull up the gear stick surround and undo the 2 silver screws at the bottom left/right of the storage bin.

3 - Using a thin flat blade screwdriver on the left side, prise out the 2 vents at the top of the console and disconnect the unit.

4 - Undo the 2 silver screw at the top of the heater controls.

5 - Pull out the heater controls, radio & stage bin (all in a cage together).

6 - Remove the radio from the cage (2 screws each side) and fit your radio.

7 - Using the following parts PC2-76-4 and PC5-87 connect your radio to the cars plugs.

8 - Refit going from step 5

Im not sure if its exactly what you need to know with your setup but it'll give you an idea. I took mine out and it wasnt very difficult

followed that the other day, very simple to do, easier than most cars id have to say, but thas the one

sorry missed the part about havin the pop up dash, tho it should be the same to pull out the front of the console to get access to the wires etc... behind

Yeah done it your right was simple. Had to make new facier but in end looks sweet.

I pulled out all the CD unit and the Radio/Tape unit. Left the popup tv (altho nothing to make it popup now, but that will come later).

I shaved a bit off the side of the Aircon controls and pushed it down to the bottom. which left enough room for the W202E.

Later on im goin to pull out the TV unit and put a playstation 2 (mini) under the lid, but ill keep you posted on that.

Ill upload pics tonight.

Not yet decided on what ill do with the popup tv.. its still in there but no power or source running to it. It looks kinda complicated to get somthing else wired up. Um for surround sound, I decided not to get 6x9's and got type S 6.5" splits in front, type S 6" in rear (altho rear run off lil wonder soundstream amp..rather pdx) then Type R sub in boot with PDX1.600 also now strapped in so no sliding :) Playstatin is in glovebox, and tv tuner is under pasenger seat.

Got whole setup + install 3,000:

Sound stream Lil wonder (This wasnt the one i already had, they threw in another, cause myn was mono)

Alpine PDX1.600

Alpine IVA-W202E

Alpine 4xType S 6.5"

Alpine 2x type S tweeters.

Alpine 2xSplitters

Alpine 1xType R 12" Sub, in box.

Alpine TUE-T200DV tv tuner.

System sounds really good, but i if i could do it all agin i would have saved up extra $ and got this this deal.

AV Plus Theatre System - $3499.00

• IVA-W202E MOBILE MEDIA RECEIVER

• KCE-422i iPod FULL SPEED CABLE

• KCE-300BT BLUETOOTH PHONE INTERFACE

• PDX-4.100 PDX DIGITAL 4-CH POWER AMPLIFIER

• PDX-1.600 PDX DIGITAL MONO POWER AMPLIFIER

• SPR-17S TYPE-R 6.5” COMPONENT SPEAKERS

• SPR-17C TYPE-R 6.5” COAXIAL SPEAKERS

• SWR-1222D TYPE-R SUBWOOFER

Then + the TV tuner.

But what can ya do :D

looks nice :blink:

How much was the custom console? I was thinking off getting a new head unit so i could play Mp3s and usb. I found a good deal on one and asked about installation and he said that to get a custom din was $200 plus. I didnt go ahead with it cos it sounded like a rip off to me. This is JB HI-FI btw

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
