Hi all, just wanna make a quick question about the factoy bose unit on the 2003 V35, is it common for the 6 discs cd stacker to break or jam?? and is it a easy fix?? I have done abit of research and found some horrible stories, that a faulty cd stacker could lead to A/C malfunctions and battery drains and other disastrous scenarios...I would like to know if these are just some extreme cases or a common issue which most owners experience, only reason asking is bcuz I have looked into buying a 03 model v35 skyline and the cd stacker happened to be apparently "jammed" with error code F0 or soemthing...dont really mind if its an easy fix but if it is a quite seriouse issue then i might have to reconsider...

owners comments and experiences would be greatly appreciated

thanks all

VERY common. I get a call a week asking for a way to fix them. parts are not available for them due to age and the best solution is to rip the lot and sart fresh.

happy to elaborate on it if you wish.

so i guess double din unit and the facia kit is the way to go, just wondering does the factory pop up screen still work after the conversion? or does it become completely useless?

I went with a CarPC, and left the dead CD staker where it was. I can also switch over to the inbuilt nissan computer for fuel economy and service intervals etc

And if you get the correct cable from Chris ^^^, you can plug whatever device you like into the factory tv :)

I have my CarPC plugged into this screen using a cable from Chris, and also a reverse camera which switches over automatically when you put it in reverse.

So the factory screen is very useful. My center console looks completely stock, and it all tucks away as original.

BFH! (Big Fkn Hammer.)

seriously it is full strip down of the thing and at the end of it the unit is a throw away. this depends WHERE the transport has locked up. some are easy to strip others you will destroy pulling them apart.

time to bend over and take it like a man :P

its a new panel,ac controls, bose lead and SWC unit then a new radio then its fixed. its not going to be a cheap exercise.

There is a how to on the removal of the CD's on youtube

Chris - With the cartridge removed as in the video, will the radio, tape, AC etc still function or is there a self check it does that will make it spit the dummy?

I'm going to have to decide whether to add Ipod interface or do the financially painful change to a double din setup. Not looking forward to it.

it will run without it BUT the ipod lead that I sell will not work as it disables the port that it plugs into if you remove it. there is a trick to it but it is at board level and I do not wish to disclose that for the express reason people will start harassing me when they destroy a board whilst trying to mod it.

Mark, buy this

http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item3cbbeb0f3c or a new one = $300 shipped these days

and this

= profit!!!

Looks good. Is that a Metra Kit or Original?

How well does the colour matching with the G35 kits go with the V35 interiors especially on a 2001 300GT?

Edited by o2bfit

That is a 2nd hand original kit. DON'T EVER CONSIDER USING THE METRA. It is a pos. You can spot the Metra rubber buttons a mile off - they are crap and apparently the climate units are know for failing.

Colour match is perfect on mine.

Question regarding the interior colour. The interior of the my 2001 300GT console is a dull khaki dark greyish colour which I assume is Willow (its certainly no silver or black). There appears to be differences in the jdm colour advertised on ebay, some mention it is a silver/willow, some willow has dark grey on the vents.

This is the closest I've found to my interior but the seller won't ship to NZ.

Does anyone have any information about the interior colours available for the V35 and G35?

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
