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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
