Hi,

Im from Sydney and is a proud owner of a V35 300GT but the freaking CD player doesnt work.

Does any1 know if the CD/Cassette player can be fixed and by whom?

If not does any1 know where i can source one from? second hand would be perfable and done in a budget. dont want to be shelling out $500+

My player has never worked from day-dot of me buyin the car.

Whenever i turn on the car the cd player just clicks until it stops (about 5-6 times)

Ive turned a blind eye and have been using the IPOD FM transmitter but i think i really would like to have it fixed.

if any1 can help that be great.

Thanks,

Joey.

yes they can be fixed. it will take a fair bit more than $500 to do it. (about $850.). other option is to put an aftemarket unit in it with the 2DIN radio panel swapped in. one issue you will have (if you fixed it) is the nav. it routes audio via the drivers door. TV and AUX audio are also affected. so what ever you use needs to have an AUX in.

Hey guys and thanks for the reply.

The reason I was asking was because I saw a complete cd/radio unit on sale on ebay (seller located in usa) for $350USD + shipping.

I didnt know the double din panel existed. where do i source one? would it affect the rest of the dash (eg. climate control etc etc) as the whole thing is intergrated isnt it?

Has any1 done it and do they have pics?

Thanks again

Joey

and oohhhh id import the car from japan and i wasnt told of the damaged cd player

panel can be bought from me. need panel, AC controls (dual or single zone btw- button on dash will tell you.) and the interface if bose.

clairfy that and I'll arrange one for you.

the US radio fixes the FM channel problem but creates another - AM band is out a bit so it doesn't work.

Jap Link motors tell me that they can repair the CD player for $250 which includes removing the unit from the car, replacing the failed mechanism and re-installing it. Chris, I understand that you believe that the cost should be alot more. Can you suggest what the difference in price could be attributable to?

My cd player will only play cds from slot 4,5 and 6 most of the time.

In some instances it will play all 6 or a combination.

I find that it comes down to how the discs are loaded into the magazine.

start by ejecting all discs and load them all in one go.

I have a 300GT with the exact same problem, mine has about 4 discs inside & just makes those mech noises about 5 time then does nothing! will not play or eject :)

Let me know if you have anly luck with the repair.

I intend to crack mine open & take a look at it some time.... Just a bit busy at the moment. Will post the results here, if it turns out to be something simple.

from me. the whole exercise is NOT cheap. the screen will still work as normal and if you buy a DVD based unit I can put the video on that screen. one thing to keep in mind ,if you want the TV/AUX audio to still work you will need a unit with an AUX in.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
