I'm thinking of putting in a new head unit but haven't a clue what is any good out of the seemingly infinite choice out there and taken as a given that 95% of the guts will probably be MIC anyway .

I'm wanting some thing that is easy to opperate when I'm on the move, must have MP3 and USB port at the front, MOFSET and plenty of WRMS.

I would have bought the factory DD six stacker @ $380.00 on special at the local dealers but it had no MP3 capability or USB port.

Clarion used to do a range of single DIN units that were good but they've upgraded if that is actualy the correct term and I'm not sure about the new stuff.

--And not to much money either :D

how much do you wish to spend? $500? (look at the clarion CX609 if that is your budget.)

Thanks for that , looks like a nice thing, I googled and fleebayed this to have a look and found I can get one to my door from the US for a little over AU $ 300.00 including shipping, the question is will a US delivered unit work in Aus ?

:(

sounds like what you are after is a pioneer with a usb port. their mosfet is high and usually they put out about 50 wattts rms per channel, but most head units these days do that

Thanks mate , any particular model ? -- I'll have a sus at Ryda and see if theres anything in the bargain bin :P

I would look for one with bluetooth capability as it kills two birds with one stone on the mobile phone front and if it is Iphone compatible it will let you bluetooth the Ipod function to the HU (if you have one).

I installed a Kenwood unit into the Stagea and Mrs Wolv is happy that is syncs up when she gets in the car and she good to go, no charging up separate BT units.

No doubt other manufacturers have similar units out there for between $250 - $400

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
