hi im wondering

what is the perfect size head unit to fit in the gap there ? thanks

Double DIN , sometimes you might need a little fiddling or filing to trim it right , or slot the screw holes on the cage that holds the radio but most bolt up without drama.

or Single din with pocket below or ?

just dont use long screws or bye bye radio when you plug it in. try to use the ones they give you or factory ones worse case. just use care!!!!

or call a pro ?

Yea double DIN or single DIN with a pocket under it.

Haha i actually had a customer come in that had attempted his own install and used like 30mm wood screws to mount the headunit to the brakets lol and he wonderd why it wouldnt take a CD and why it made funny noises, 6 or 8mm mounting screws MAX lol.

The 34 dash should not need any modification at all to fit a unit, Unless you buy one of the cheapie ebay double din screens haha.

UNLESS the car is a GTV version with navi. then the dash will need work to fit something else.

Yes but this guys isnt. I was refuring to his not needing any modification. And seems his already has an aftermarket unit in there he should just be able to follow whats already been done.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
