Hi Every1,

Was wondering if anybody has the part numbers for what would be known as a 'double din conversion kit' for a R34 GTR?

Interested in how many parts are included in the kit.

I have factory NAV in my GTR, hence why I need it. Wondering whether the air con replacement is a new facia which snaps on to the existing air con control unit, or whether you need to replace the whole thing?

Thanks in advance.

Its already double din iso ( tiny bit off double din todays standard but not much to worry about )

No kit needed but some trim rings wont fit right without filing the trim ring slightly or some dont need trim ring mounted , only slot the existing holes in the cage holding the radio to set it back a bit further to make it look perfect

Note tape a thick soft towel around the console / gear surround to set the razor sharp cage on or it farks the surround black bits and its near impossible to repair ,

Double din rules fark the single din look is boring

Hello, thanks for your reply.

My car has the NAV unit, I need to convert it to the one like in the pic in the previous post.

Air con controls are one step further down and the NAV unit controls are in its standard place. The air con unit is a little bit smaller than standard.

Its been covered a few hundred times

But you just need the face plate off a newer or gtt , gt model car for the a/c and move it up a spot

The double din cage exists already behind the pocket

The controls fit exactly the same just fills the gap all the way across

The nav wont work here anyhow , the mfd will and can be used still , where are you located

Chris rogers on sau deals a lot with these parts and will help you a fair bit

Mine has ambient air , the newer cars came with it , mine has snow package as well , heated mirrors , sunroof heater and a super demist function in the control for a/c

i have a few facia's in the shed i'll see if i can find the part # in am

The parts dont have embossed numbers and no stickers?

Pm your email addy and i can send photos to you of what I'm

Talking about ( crappy iphone not able to use flash to upload !!)

And photofark it times out

you only need the plastic face not the guts , it just unsnaps

And you swap them over , screw to cage and back into car screws under mfd

And vents out

Yes mate, spot on.

Yea fair enough, mine came with the aircon unit up top so cant help you much there.. i just removed the old single din unit and replaced it with a nice alpine unit.... goes really will with the interior i think.. not cheap though.

you palnning on putting in something like that?

Sorry thats not right

You only need the facia not the whole A/C climate control , gtr and some of the other R34 have ambient air temp sensor as well so you have to be careful which one , the silver knob pushes in on ambient air temp model the other one wont

The sensor is just in front of the lower driver side radiator , a plug with a small item in held out space and held on with 10 mm bolt

You just unsnap the old single din shaped faceplate, unbolt the circle behind the knob first

And slap on the new wider angled one its that easy and bolt on the circle bit and shove the knob back on , its a good time to go change the lights to LED since a lot are burned out and dated looking anyhow

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
