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.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
