Hey Guys,

ok, i want to get the facts straight here..... half of the people tell me i cant do this, then the other half tell me not to listen and say i can do it.....

instead of ordering a new facia kit, one installer has told me he can cut out the existing bose system and make enough room for the double dinn.....

whats the go??

find another installer!

The easiest way is to get the correct panel and the correct AC controller and a pocket if you need one. the rest - bracket and top pocket/screen will carry over. if you like I can post images of the rear circuit board that covers the ENTIRE panel to prove otherwise. I will add to that the radio powers that panel.

you can do it yourself. But you just have to be patience with all the panel it needed to be removed. It'll take nearly 2 hours for me to install it myself.

But if you don't have the time then ask an installer to install it for you.

DON'T cut out the existing bose. It'll make it look stupid and your AC controller won't work.

You have no choice to get the Genuine Facia or get the Metra kit from USA, which fit nicer, but crappier AC buttons and cheaper too.

cheers

also - bose or non bose radio. if bose and you do not wist to remove the amplifer then you will also need the leads for that.

when you are ready flick me a PM. I keep most of this on hand.

essentially this is the main part you will need plus the leads and also a/c controller I believe

at 11,600 yen from Japanparts.com excluding shipping, including other parts and labour is where the $600-700 comes from.

you paint it. OR you get the correct colour one. I paint mine.

as for your solution.

AC controller,panel, bose interface leads. all up a $900 exercise.

want it - ask.

Hello Guys...

Aeropro I believe sell this facia kit also. Has anyone been able to install the aerpro kit as per below?

I approached Autobarn to see if I can get one ordered in...costs about $500 and I believe it will retain the functionality of the A/C, however I haven't had the chance to get one yet as I am still deciding on what headunit/stereo setup I want.

how to get the OEM double din kit? Chris, do u hv stock?

I just got my car.. dont like the audio... Can we connect aftermarket headunit to the original bose speaker and amp? Is what Chris said: "AC controller,panel, bose interface leads. all up a $900 exercise," the option tat i m looking for?

Thanks for this great forum... so much helpful people around~

I do have stock - want?

if so EXACT spec of your car. IE: A/C control,navi,bose?

actually fire me a chassis number. I'll do it that way.

here is it located? i can find vin, engine... but where is chassis?

will ask tomolo and pm u then~ Your $900 including install or??

VIN will do. take a photo of your drivers strut tower. the build plate is there and it will give me all I need.

$900 would cover the bits to make all of this work. you are not in brissy are you? (I travel but only if I haev 3-4 things to do in a city.) cost could well change based on the spec of your car (could be lower.)

I am in melb... *^@#$^&%

Will check the numbers tomolo, and pm u..

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
