Removing Double Din Dash Surround

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to remove my double DIN dash surround in order to get to the back of my head unit to check the connections.

I've already removed the shifter surround + the 2 screws on the dash surround (located where the 2 surrounds meet), but that's as far as I got :-(

I've been looking at I don't know how many sites tonight looking for the answer but haven't come up with a decent guide to doing it, + I don't want to force the surround + end up breaking it. I'm sure there's some other screws somewhere that I'm missing...

Could somewhere guide me in the right direction in how to get the dash surround out, or if there's a way just to pull the head unit out that would be sweet!

Thanks!! :-)

Thanks Waz - I'll get onto that :-)

Chris, I've got an aftermarket double DIN with a motorised face. The motorised face has stopped working so I have to rip the whole unit out + send it back for replacement :-(

The guide for the US G35 Metra dash kit (p/n 99-7604) is pretty good:

Click the 'Product Instructions' link, or direct link here:

That's the guide I followed to install a 2 din unit in my (non-Bose) 250GT...

Fair amount of dash-disassembly required, took me about 2 hours! Hardest part is getting the clock/ac display surround on the upper dash out...

follow what I said basically and it will come out. I have the entire exercise down to 10 min but there is a LOT to pull apart.

It shouldnt be that hard i guess.. i know sum1 who did a similar thing and snaped some bits n pieces :thumbsup:

just take it easy lol :)

compared to my old r32 its about three times more annoying/time consuming.I could have my md head unit out in 4 -5 minutes but the v35 takes at least 15

its way easier than the guys in the usa makes it out to be though...: )

Thanks for all the replies :-)

I was reading the guide that Ant linked to + saw that it may be possible to access the trim plates to remove the screws holding the head unit in after removing the dash surround side panels (where the accessory plug is located). A possibility instead of ripping the whole dash out??

Hi

Have a look at this link. It shows how to pull apart the dash of a G35 to install an Ipod. It may give you some clues.

Hey Andy,

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
