Hi Guys

I've upgraded my R33 to an R34. I have the stock tv LCD screen on top of the dash in the R34. The screen works fine, but I don't like the stock audio setup.

Basically, I want to remove the stock radio and buy a single DVD/DivX/mp3/CD deck and run video's off the the factory LCD screen. I don't want to run an iPod setup. Also, I was hoping to hook the new deck directly to the stock screen. I don't want to use the head-phone jack inputs on the front.

I understand that the stock screen is running on a NTSC signal, so I would probably upgrade the screen to a PAL one that fits into the stock mechanism as I would like for it to remain hidden and keep the car as original looking as possible.

Has anybody done something like this already? Can somebody recommend something to me?

I have the pop un screen in my 34 too. I have seen other 34s on the forum with aftermarket head units but they don't have the screen. I have been to JB HI-FI and Straithfield and they panic when they screen. No body wanted to touch it. Apparently the screen and the CD/Casset player are all integrated togeather and it is a costly exercise to rewire the whole set. On top of that they have to create a new face for the din because thay dont have any that fit in the 34s V shape console.

Id be interested to know if anybody with a screen has been able to change their sound system besides the speaker set up?

good luck :P

screen is usable- if it works properly then replace the radio with a DVD unit that has NTSC output and you are set (sort of). find someone that understands integration in your are (I do this but I'm in brissy.) done. its not really a DIY job unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.

i took mine off and change it to 5 inch clarion screen, rewire the whole of inside so still can go up and down with a switch without the gps thing,

working pretty good

Hmmm sounds interesting. I like the idea of using a switch. Have u got any pics of your setup, with the switch? Also, any more details about the wiring to get the mechanism to go up and down?

How much do you think is a reasonable price to get this job done?

Hi Chris

I was wondering if I'd be able to get your mobile number to give you a buzz to discuss, if possible. I would call you during the day only 9-5. I've rad a few articles and you seem like the go to guy for advice. I would appreciate it very much.

can you please recommend someone who could do this job for my R34? I think there's something wrong with the pop-up mechanism so it stay's jammed sometimes. so that has to be fixed too, and then replaced with a really good audio and a LCD screen

I too am looking at replacing the standard radio/cassette player from my R34 .. I have the factory lcd screen/cd player above the aircon too. Is there a simple unit out there that can replace the factory cassette/radio player that would work in conjunction with the factory cdplayer/lcd ?

I'd like to be able to play mp3 cds (or dvds even better ..more storage) but also use the cdplayer joystick+lcd as with the factory unit. Any drop-in units out there that are comptible?

in short - yes. anything will work with it BUT you need to have a AUX in on the rear of it.from there you need to be able to rework the DIN lead to spit the audio out.

if I get time I'll make a patch lead for it and off it up for sale.

how do you guys want it - DIN-> male RCA or DIN ->3.5mm jack?

yes. the radio (in your case.) only plays sound. so if you buy one that has AUX in on the rear of it then no issue. buy a unit that has NTSC video out and then we can do a some cool stuff..

Im looking to buy a R34 with this screen at the moment.....

Isn't there an AV input somewhere in the R34 for the LCD Screen.....?? the Nissan Stagea has AV inputs on the Factory TV unit/receiver (which doesnt work in Aus).

My Stagea has this factory LCD Screen (as many of them do), all I had to do was buy a single din DiVX/MP3 Player that can send a NTSC video signal (I bought a JVC unit), wired all the speakers to the new unit as per normal, and ran the AV Video line from the JVC Unit to an AV input where the facotry TV Unit/Receiver, set the screen to AV2 (which you only have to do once) and **Vwalla!!**

If I play MP3's the list of songs, artist info, etc. is always displayed on the screen, put a movie on - plays instantly through the screen.....

no fancy electronics required...... couldn't something like this be done on the R34???

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
