Hi All,

Well let me make a short story long...

I have an ARX with the integrated stereo (non Bose), my CD player is Effed - has the F0 error.

I have a couple of questions as it is pissing me off and I want to fix it.

1. I think it maybe simply that the CD's are jammed as it was disconnected a while ago and moved around with CD's still inside, didn't work straight after, hence they may have become dislodged from the trays and jammed the mechanism.

So, is it possible to remove the player, take apart the player and remove the offending discs, then reassemble to have a working player again. This of course assumes that nothing is damaged.....

My concern is that I have seen photos of some for sale on Import Monster and they dont look like they are that easy to disassemble ??

Can it be done?

2. This brings me to my second option - purchase a replacement on IM. I have been watching but they are few and far between. I saw one, but it seems like it comes as a complete package including the plastic mouldings/dash. The one I saw had different coloured plastic (grey as opposed to black). Can the hardware be removed from the plastic and simply replace the stereo only, or is it all one integrated unit?

Any feedback would be great as i don't want to A) buy one with wrong colour plastic, or B) spend 6 hours removing the dash to then find out that the offending CD's are as accessable as the Queen's left nipple.

Cheers

The stereo can be removed from the plastic trim and swaped for a different colour. If you take the stereo out just be careful with the ribon connector that connects to the front panel.

If you take the lid off the cd player you should be able to get them out. I have removed some cds in a bose model.

The cd player will cost to much to repair. Your better off getting the cds out and going afermarket dash.

Hi all,

Cheers for the responses.

So I reckon thne besty option is to remove it and try and "take the lid off"and remove the offending discs. BTW it's quite a varied mix from Sepultra Roots, to Prodigy to Alice and Chains Jar of Flies and even Beyonce which is my Mrs' CD of cousre :whistling:

Then if the player is still rooted I will look into getting an after market + dash. Where can I get these fandangled aftermarkets from?

Ah, this photo shows it well - the CD/tape/air con is all integrated but is removed from the plastic easily.

it should all come out together from the car, then the stacker will come off the back of the fascia and from there you should be able to open it up. mines never been stuck so once you take the lid off, youre on your own lol

and yes mine is a 6 stacker from my RX which is the same as an ARX.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
