My CD player has jammed, and I also need a band extender for my radio. I've been told I should just replace the stereo system. However, I want the console to remain looking the same. I am unfamiliar with putting new sound systems in a car, and I figure they are all different shapes and sizes, and that my centre console will need to be cut to make it fit, and thus losing the buttons it currently has. Can someone explain to me how it works, or post pictures of your aftermarket stereo so I can see how one would look?

Quick shot of mine when it was in Japan post-52513-0-51869100-1313743839_thumb.jpg

You will need one of these http://www.ebay.com....=item2eb73e308e

This was just a quick search on ebay.. you can search elsewhere. :thumbsup:

Get the genuine nissan parts if you can, those aftermarket ones aren't much chop. I got one from the states for my V35 and it was around $400 or something like that delivered.

I must be using the wrong plcae in japan to get mine. the controller is worth more than that.

Yeh im not sure chris i paid around $350 i think for mine when i got it, it was from an infiniti dealer in the states that has an E Bay store link is below to his store he has a few of the AC controllers up for 150 + postage USD

I got it from an Infinti dealer on ebay. Riverside if memory serves me correctly.

I had already fitted a pair of Alpine amps in place of the std amp, and some decent speakers, which improved the overall sound,

i then picked up a top range Alpine head unit for a very good price, so rather than try and bodge up a single din into the factory

Bose slot,

So i decided to move the DVD/nav unit by elongating the wiring loom, as i wanted to keep the use of the factory screen

for my reversing camera and TV, and fit the HU there, a bit of a mission, but the result is neat and works very well, with far better sound quality as a result.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
