ops my bad lol ok so price below

head unit $340 http://www.ebay.com....=item1c1b7109e5

Double din $350 http://cgi.ebay.com....em=330478741615

install was around $200

That is cheap as. Do you still get to keep the trip computer eg petrol usage etc??

Also how long did it take them to install?

Yep i keep all the stock gear, how it works is the head unit is pluged into the RCA input in the cars TV tuner, it does not work for TV but it does display the output from the head unit like an AV input for a VCR. There is a option on the TV section of the OEM screen called VTR or somthing like that it sets it to AV in short. It took the guys at NPS about 2 hrs to install it all i was lucky 1 of there guys had worked on the car b4 so he knew how to take it apart.

These same guys did a job for a forum member a few months ago. He bought a TV tuner from me & they had no idea what was going on. I had to call them a couple of times to help sort it out.

I think that was where they learnt to take the car apart ! They had the other V35 for a couple of days :ermm: . Glad to hear it was much easier for you :thumbsup: .

hahaha yeh lucky me then lol. But the install is great works well, there was an issue with the face plate of the head unit it gets stuck on the double din kit when it opens i have to help it open but that is ezy fixed just need to shave a bit of plastic off the double din kit. other then that its 100%

Mine is not a prem edition it does not come with dual zone, its just reg 350GT cloth seats, if you want duel zone climat you will need to get the approprate buttons with the face plate. The circut board for the buttons is attached to the OEM head unit one so the din kit comes with new buttons just look on ebays for the duel zone ones or you can get it from the link below but its a bit more pricy.

That is awesome!

How do you find the quality of the new head unit? (compared to say, an Alpine)

Quality is great, i only have stock speakers no sub or amps so its as good as can be expected, the GPS works well have no complaints about it at all, im considering changing out my speakers and adding a sub but im not sure if its worth it tbh

The only thing that i can see that needs to be fixed its the face plate that i bought i need to shave some plastic off the bottom so the head unit can open without me lifting it a few mill up as it catches on it but other then that its 100% and you can shave it down with a file the guys at NPS have a tool to do it also but didnt have it on the day.

Nice,

How many Pre-outs does the head unit have?

My car (I haven't actually seen it yet) has a double din Carrozzeria unit in it and I was thinking I might swap it out for one of these when it gets here; especially if it has 3 sets of pre-outs (like my current Alpine CDA-9886 + Imprint has)

I've found in most of my previous cars that sound deadening is the best upgrade you can make to your cars sound system. Basically more sound waves stay inside the cabin of your car;

Obviously won't help if your stock speakers are knackered

Yeh i bought my own kit as i didnt want to pay $500 for one as you can get them for around $330 on ebay. Im not worried about the xtrons it has been great so far, i saved $1700 so even if it does not las as long still a huge saving.

yes I do sell them JDM OR metra. prefer to use the JDM ones for proper fit though some see these as expensive so I do the metra one as an alternative. need to know more about your car though.

hey chris

i think my chasis number is: CPV35505901

looked around ebay and i may be colour blind but i'm not too sure if my trim colour is tan or silver.

any way of finding out from the chasis number?

i might just get the JDM dash since i'm looking at keeping the nav screen. how should i get in contact with you for pricing?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
