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

    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
    • Sounds good. Provided the panel is flat/level I'd be happy to start the painting process.  While you are learning, for sure you could do this. Its only paint, you can always sand it all back and start again. Its only your time and money on materials, but while you're learning, really its time and money spent on your education.  Once you know how to do this bodywork and painting, you won't want to waste your time and money on frivolous activities lol. 
    • Yep I will use a guide coat after putting filler, I will do it on the whole panel as I'm a beginner so chances I've made quite a few errors. In that photo, I think that was a low spot, I just for example said to pretend it's flat but I will put filler + guide coat after to assess where I'm at. Yep with that picture, the panel is wet as it rained when I took the photo. But all those scratches are completely smooth, I went over it with 240 grit and can't feel it, even with my nail digging into it. I was legit thinking to buy a 2k can and spray primer to see how it turns out but then thought to myself it's going to be a mess doing it haha. Good mention there. Thanks for all that info I think I know what to do next.
    • Prior to laying down the primer, you need to make sure the surface is completely level. For example, based on this picture, I strongly suspect that the areas marked in blue are higher then the area marked in green.  If you spray primer over this entire area, then paint and clear it, the finished result will 100% show the low area. It will stick out like dogs balls. Unfortunately the paint won't magically level out the low areas as you lay it down.  Without seeing it in person, I expect that the green area will need to be filled, then use a guide coat and check that the entire repair area is level with a large sanding block.  With this picture, are you saying that even though you can see the scratches, the panel is in fact completely smooth and flat? If this is the case sure you could prep and paint it as it is.     The picture with the paint you described as blistering, it's hard for me to comment on from the photo alone. It looks like the panel is wet? Dunno, looks strange. Does the panel feel as smooth as glass when you run your hand over it? **** Going back to your question again, generally you would only sand the primer if you made a mistake while laying down the primer.  If the panel is prepped properly and you lay the primer down properly, you should not need to sand the primer.  This wouldn't work - Don't prep the panel. Spray primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas where the issues appear. Spray more primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas....... Yeah you'd go round and round in circles getting no where.
