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.

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.

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?

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?

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂

      Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
