Did you buy this car from NorthShore Prestige...? If am not wrong this is a White RX/RS with the Nismo dash?

Not sure about how to control the MD but I will have a look through the manuals that I have and see if I can find any information.

Cheers

Andy

Bump. Anybody got ideas still can't figure it out. Has power going to it. But don't know how to get it to play.

Maybe if you actually supply a photo of the deck he can help, but as I have the single din stereo in my RS I have no idea. I have an Aux button on mine that takes the signal from the analogue tv tuner (oem) in the back of the vehicle.

I wonder if the MD is wired directly into the deck itself or if it's cables run back to the analogue tv tuner?!

There should be a button on the stereo that allows you to play from the md.

has stereo got an aux in?

i can't fathom why you would waste your time on minidiscs. MD was a format which for some reason japan went apeshit for, but didn't take off in the rest of the world. mainly MD is a tempramental and frustrating format, they're like CD's but without the convenience.

this is coming from me - a guy who when i was 15 bought an MD player thinking i was the king shit in high school cos i had an MD player while all the CHUMPS had discmans. two months later. MP3 players came out. for real cheap too.

Society - 1

Rowan - 0

after my bout of self pwnage. i grew up.

car stereos mostly have aux inputs these days. so that external audio source can play in the car speakers, people get their ipod shuffle and plug it in, pimp huh?

well this is where Rowan gets his own back on society.

another thing japan went apeshit for that never took off in rest of the world. is the sony PSP.

PSP can store 16G mem cards. has a neat sized LCD / LED hidef screen, and plays any and all media formats.

music

movies

games

music videos

you name it. it plays it.

cool thing about PSP is when playing music - it has about 6 different visual displays which generate from the music, from graphic EQ display to rolling landscapes which suit to music.

you drag n drop music / movies / tv shows / whatever onto the PSP. plug the line in to your aux player. make some makeshift hooks to hold the PSP over your stereo. you have a complete media centre with a 5/6in hidef screen. with an impressive interface and graphic EQ that will trump ANYTHING made my alpine / pioneer. it's SO easy to do.

there's also a GPS satnav receiver you can buy for the PSP so you can also use it as your GPS

when you're finished driving, simply unplug the PSP. take it with you and play some sonic the hedgehog. use it as an MP3 player, call your friends on SKYPE etc.

want more music? simply plug it into your computer and drag and drop files.

same goes with movies

most people sell their PSP2000 models for DIRT cheap these days - I personally bought a new PSP3000 model (cos it's the slimmer version - also has a larger screen and higher definition)

there's now the PSPGO too which is an even smaller more compact unit.

why try to force the minidisc format to make you happy when for $300(maximum) you have a complete media centre which just plugs into your existing system?

=) sorry to go off topic but i just don't see why you would waste your time trying to make it work... (in my eyes) you may as well be asking "how do i get my 7" 45's to play in my car using the turntable?" haha

I guess I give up on the md. 6 cd good enough.

Managing the content on MD's is a pain any how :down: I had my MD stacker ripped out the other week, I never had it functioning either. It's free'd up my centre console so I can actually use it to store stuff!

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
