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!

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
