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..

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
