You can buy FM transmitters which connect to your iPod and play the audio on an FM frequency which you tune your car's radio into. There is another variant which allows the iPod to be played directly through the tape deck.

Has anyone tried either of these options, and if you have, which one and was the audio quality any good??

Well i've tried both before i ended up changing the whole system to a double din setup. I have to say both offer mediocre quality audio if you're the fussy type.

But i guess it's the cheapest way to do it :)

I think i read up somewhere on G35Driver Forums about the adapter called PA11-NIS to hook up the ipod to the factory stereo. But i don't know if it'll work here.

Wait and see what Chris Rogers have to say about this.

tiger,

easier way is to buy a AUX in lead and run it up to your centre console. the FM idea is really a waste of $$. stations will come in ovr the top of the ipod, dropouts and terrible sound.

call me if you do not follow :P

I've used both in my Z33. It was a stopgap solution when the stock head unit's CD player died, before I got a new deck.

The audio quality is shit (although that shouldn't bother you if you're still using the supplied iPod headphones) in either option. Through the tape deck you get massive amounts of hiss. Output via the FM adapter sounds muted, and since the signal power is so weak any little thing interferes with the signal.

Also, fiddling around changing the tracks will probably get you accused of using a mobile phone while driving if you're spotted, and the cops will probably book you despite any protestations.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
