I'm guessing you actually want to know the size, despite not asking that. They are 8"

Thanks mate, yes that's all I was after, I knew they 18" diameter, just wanted the width.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Guys,

Where can i get a Bose Interface & Storage pocket, im looking to do a double din radio swap as I'm sick of the factory CD player skipping all the time.

I currently have the Bose system with navi and reverse camera. I still want to be able to use the reverse camera.

Cheers.

CAN I REPLACE THE RADIO IN MY CAR IF I HAVE THE BOSE PREMIUM AUDIO

yes it is possible.
you need:

new 2DIN facia panel to suit your car.
new A/C controller (two versions with 'DUAL' button and without)
Bose interface (there are two versions with NAVI and without.)
Rear Bracket
Nissan Storage Pocket

note if you do not have BOSE audio the process is a LOT easier. you do not need the bose interface.

Contact me and I will help you.

AUDIO/NAVIGATION RELATED QUESTIONS

MY CD PLAYER ATE MY CDs AND WONT GIVE THEM BACK

if the 6cd indash unit displays ERROR F0

CD mechanism is jammed due to a nylon guide that has splintered in the transport. the discs cannot be removed without literally stripping the whole thing down.

the unit can be repaired for $550-650 depending on the overall condition of the CD unit. parts are Ex Japan

MY CD PLAYER SKIPS OR WONT PLAY NORMAL CDS - I SEE 'ERROR F3' ON MY SCREEN

time for a new laser. repairable at a cost. WORST part is the labor to remove and refit it. laser is available locally. this IS NOT a DIY job

DOES THE FACTORY CD UNIT PLAY BURNT CD'S / MP3 format

- yes it does. it DOES NOT play CDRW. it does not play mp3 discs

CAN I CONNECT AN IPOD TO THE FACTORY RADIO

yes and the radio WILL control it OR if you have the factory NAV screen it can be done as well.

there are two methods

Method 1

the other one will use the factory radio as a controller and you can drive the IPOD off the steering controls IF you have them.

CAN I REPLACE THE RADIO IN MY CAR IF I HAVE THE BOSE PREMIUM AUDIO

yes it is possible.

you need:

new 2DIN facia panel to suit your car.

new A/C controller (two versions with 'DUAL' button and without)

Bose interface (there are two versions with NAVI and without.)

Rear Bracket

Nissan Storage Pocket

note if you do not have BOSE audio the process is a LOT easier. you do not need the bose interface.

CAN I ADD AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER(s) TO THE EXISTING RADIO

without bose audio - yes you can. the process is the same as a 'normal' radio.

with BOSE - again yes but you will need an interface.

I WANT TO CHANGE MY SPEAKERS - WHAT SIZE ARE THEY??

front are 6.5" tweeter is a 1" soft dome

front speakers require a mounting plate to be made for proper fit.

rears are 5.25" and require TOTAL removal of the rear area for access.

if you have BOSE audio the 'subwoofers' are 6x9s. amplifier is located in the boot rear left on floor under panel in coupe and under rear shelf in sedan.

I HAVE FACTORY FITTED NAVIGATION WITH TV. HOW CAN I:

1. GET A MAP DVD SO IT WORKS IN AUSTRALIA

2. CHANGE THE TEXT TO ENGLISH.

3. CHANGE THE TV SO IT WORKS HERE.

1. No. There are no maps for this unit used in the Australian market. It can be converted using a local unit if Navigation is required

2. there is a software hack in the works from russia that will reportedly fix this. see HERE for this. this DOES NOT FIX THE MAP ISSUE!!

3. Japan use an ENTIRELY different televison system that cannot be converted for operation here. a local tuner must be fitted for TV to work. it is suggested that the antenna system be changed as well for one with higher gain and better reception.

Hi Chris. I have 2001 v35 350gt sedan. The stereo broken. I bought a second hand to put in. It works great with Aircon but stereo like Dics and Radio not work. It couldn't find any FM or AM channel. It show CD error F3 on screen. I am grateful if you could give some advice.

I use a nissan v35 with vq25 engine. He was spending a lot of fuel and had to replace the engine with a new one of Vietnamese origin. The new engine did not come with a computer so I had to use the old installation. At this point the engine does not start because. Does anyone help me there?

its automatic. you might have your Speed sensor wire cut.

Some of the Vs have an aftermarket switch to turn the sensor on or off so they can use the TV, DVD or Aftermarket Sat Nav while driving.

I Did on my V35 and do on my V36

Thanks Paul, there is a couple of switchs that I have not worked out what they do.

its a design fault within the unit. takes out the main panel. the TV/ navi is a different system . so you have two problems. the first of no AC is easier to sort by replacing that assembly and putting a new radio in. the non functional screen is a problem with the navi unit above tyhe glove box

MODIFICATIONS

Cruise Control

these cars DID NOT have Cruise control factory (exception is the USDM G35.) . you can fit a Vacuum unit or DBW Setup to them without hassle. I do a fully integrated DBW setup for these that runs the original Controls on the steering wheel ( you MUST have the standard wheel!)- Contact me directly if you want one done. if the car is going through compliance here in Brisbane it can be done there also.

radio controls on the OE steering wheel.

this one is a 20 minute mod that is literally a plug in and work affair. parts are available from me/ nissan Oz for this mod It involves removing the steering wheel , removing the blank on the left side, putting the factory piece in place, putting it back together and enjoying. makes driving your Ipod a LOT easier that fiddling with the radio

 

Hello Chris, how do I get in touch with you for this cruise control mod. 

I have just bought a 2008 370 GT and was about to go ahead with an aftermarket unit but you sound as if you can give me something genuine. Anyway, I wait to hear from you. 
Cheers John

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
