Hi Mate,

Nice install. Have a question for you. From your pictures it looks as if you were able to output video from your Pioneer headunit onto the factory navigation screen.

I suspect you pluged an AV cable from your headunits video out into the TV unit (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/184366-diy-put-av-input-for-350gt-wo-reverse-camera/).

Does the video out allow you to clone whatever is on the headunit?

My factory cd-player recently has the "CD ERR F0" issue, im looking at doing a double din install with possibly a headunit with GPS and video out.

I feel that the double din location is very low on the dash and would like to use the headunits video output to display or clone the GPS on the navigation screen.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Any information would be great.

Cheers

They definately did never have stock subs, Know that for a fact. The 6x9s in the rear shelf act as the subs.

jjj jones! All i did was remove the stock gps screen and controller which was in two parts and just installed them back into the facia as per the stock. Plugged it straight back in using the stock cable and plug.

So you don't need to have any av cables at all! What shoes on the pioneer unit doesn't show on the gps, that was just a gps warning. The gps works fine.

I dont think you can do what your looking to do as the navi screen has no more inputs/outputs to be able to.

The double din is not low at all. Trust me, it feels completely fine and looks great.

the single 8in speaker in the center of the parcel shelf is considered a sub.. the non-bose systems did not have this, they only have the door speakers. If you have a bose system an don't have the sub in the parcel shelf.. someone has removed it at some stage.. You should also have a small amp under the parcel shelf toward the left side, if you have a true bose system.

A quick search on the forum should yeild plenty of information.

Sonicii don't be so quick to jump to what you think is right ;)

That is the sedan system you are refering too.

The coupes amp is located in the rear boot on the floor.

The coupes all have 6x9s on the rear shelf. Have a look at a few mate.

Ahh.. you have a coupe.. sucks the sedans get a sub and the coupe doesn't...

Have a look at a few?? Lol.. because they are so common and all.. I think I have seen one in the flesh while it was driving in the other direction.

Kind of shuts down your 'there was never a sub in any V35. Don't know where you got that from?' comment though..

Anyway.. glad you are happy with the setup!

Thanks for your reply. Sorry im just a little confused. Are you saying your GPS is a completely seperate screen/unit to the Pioneer headunit?

So you pulled out your stock screen and replaced it with the GPS screen?

No, he is calling the stock screen the GPS screen.....

yeah im still confused... oh well. Just thought it was strange that the stock navi screen is showing someting in english, unless he had the english translation done.

No sub in any v35 coupe is what i meant.

The coupes 6x9s do the job trust me. It would have the same kick if not more of an 8 inch sub. It belts out the bass.

Shakes the car like crazy.

The gps screen came with the car. When i removed the old facia it all just unscrews. So i just put back the gps screen into the new facia.

The pioneer and gps run off different cables and plugs. Independant.

I don't know if they got an english translation...my stock V35 screen only works with the gps. The menus and other stuff doesnt work for some reason :(

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
