HI,

My double din stereo got flogged by the warfies when my sline was on the boat, when they ripped it out they also took the aluminium case or cradle that holds the headset into the dash.

Does anybody know where i can get a replacement item? Im in brisbane, do YOU have one??

Also, i got a replacement double din kenwood item with CD and MD from Japan BUT the plugs do not match up at the rear of the headset (despite the fact that the stolen one was also a kenwood double din MD / CD item of the same vintage) SO second problem....where do i get a new plug to match?? Does anybody have one of those??

any help would be greatly appreciated.... I NEED MY BEATS!

Haro

it will be the wiring loom to suit that headunit. you can either get a new wiring loom for whatever head unit you have and then chop off the current plug you have on your car or you can see if there is an adapter for it. for example you can get aftermarket pioneer to aftermarket clarion vice versa, so if your car came with a carrozzerria/opioneer head unit and its got that plug on the wiring loom you can use this adapter and it will plug straigfht into a clarion head unit

worst case scenario chop the plug off and start again., the wires are colour coded and you should be able to hook it up to a new wiring loom for any head unit

the head unit (if brand new) should come with its own wiring loom plug which you have to hook up to your cars wires so it can plug into the back of the head unit

I know you can get a cradle from nissan here in melb for about $30 bucks (a mate brought one) - dont have a code or anything but if u need some more info i will ask him, but your best bets is to go to a wrecker and see what they have :) if not keep an eye on thread on the forum or post up a thread in the wanted section if you cant find any at the above ideas.

Thanks for your help guys!

I ordered a new plug from kenwood to go into the back of the headset so that is one thing done.

NOW as for the adapter plug for the adapter :) i was pretty confident that the stereo that was in there was infact a kenwood item, but seeing as though kenwood has not changed their plug for about 10years (according to a Northfield guy) i may have got the previous brand wrong. I have a pic of the interior of my car whilst in Japan...but no close up of the stereo....Does anybody recognise the Brand??? Im pretty sure its a kenwood (coz the remote is a kenwood) *any ideas why the plug would be different would be greatly appreciated* As i would prefer NOT to have to "re do" all the wires and start from scratch if u know what i mean.

I think i will go direct through Nissan for the cradle bracket thingo seems like the easiest and most reliable way.

Thanks again... keep the ideas or solutions heading this way.

Hi paulr33,

yes your help and everybodies has been priceless!! I have my headset installed now, as in i did all the wiring up of the bad boy and i now officially have beats! however, im still waiting on Nissan for the cradle / mounts to actually hold the sucker in there. ATM she is simply jammed into the hole and held there by the trusty ol tape of the Gaffa variety! :wassup:

One of the rear speakers is stuffed tho, its brand new, but it sounds as if it has been blown, i have checked all the connections and they are sweet so it may be the wiring from the headset to the speaker...so im gonna swap over the wires and see if its just the speaker or the wiring itself...

Thanks for all you help guys, if i have any more probs i will be posting here for sure.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
