Good evening all, will introduce myself properly shortly, wanted to ask your advice on something first.

Recently bought an r34 25gt fresh import. Its officially rego'd and on the road as of a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with the car itself, but the half working, japanese reading heat unit is starting to get to me.

I'm a) lazy and b) not great with electronics so was thinking a cheapish solution would be a combination of the following (head unit used as example):

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-CAR-STEREO-ISO-WIRING-HARNESS-PLUG-CONNECTOR-2-/250750991968?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a61ec7e60

http://www.ministryofbass.com.au/moshop/index.php/radio-harness/harnesses/aerpro-app8ke1-kenwood-to-iso-wiring-harness.html

http://www.soundmaster.com.au/Kenwood-DPX-U6120-CD-MP3-USB-ipod-Control-Double-Din-Player/DPXU6120.asp

Basically a head unit with features that I want that is not too expensive & a Nissan 1995+ -> ISO harness & ISO -> Kenwood harness. All up including shipping it will be $329

Is there anything that I'm missing?

Will it simply be follow the guide on here to remove all the interior and fascia, unbolt and clip old head unit, clip on harness #1, clip on harness #2, plug in new head unit, replace interior and drive away? Seems too easy...

Cheers.

Used one of those harnesses on a VS Commodore wagon yesterday, it was perfect. Can't comment on the Skyline as I've never done one, but provided those are the correct plugs and you aren't getting a massively complex head unit, yeah it is that simple.

Hi

Pretty sure that the R34 uses the later harness

Nissan Harness

Its been a while but I am sure that you are going to need the diversity antenaa adaptor as well.

And the kenwood harness

Kenwood

You should be good with those three parts

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?

      Looks fancy But after having a look, prior to its installation, I noticed that the yellow looking power steering reservoir would look crap next to this So I have this incoming..... Much cheaper than the Moroso and has great reviews (yeap, it's a Moroso knock off)

      Can we place bets? My money is on there is always the option to use the 1 way profile. So the diff is either 2 way and 1 way, or 1.5 way or 1 way.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
