Hi there

Thanks for all the responses to my query.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CLARION-CZ201A-CD-USB-MP3-WMA-RECIEVER-FREE-FREIGHT-/230850164537?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35bfbdf739

This is the unit currently in the car (in place of the Bose system) any one have any thoughts on it?

Cheers

Easy, the conversion has already been done (jealous), you can fit whatever radio you want.

Hi pv35gt8, ah that's great :-) BIG bonus for me then.

The purchase of the car is subject to my RAA mechanic running a 220 point check over it.

Hoepfully the car will be mine by sometime next week. I'll start doing my research on what replacement to purchase once I have secured the car.

Cheers

Don't let an RAA dufus anywhere near it - last report I heard they didn't know their arse from a Skyline ... take it to a reputable import-orientated workshop like Boostworx, who know these cars inside and out.

I stand corrected.

Thankyou for actually posting up something with substance instead of speculation.

No probs.. I stand corrected with this too, the Bose stereo was an option on the non-premium.. looks like the only items that are 'premium only' are the half leather seats and the 'Combination suede leather Pearl - ground sheet' - whatever that is (probably lost in translation).

Hi All, any help regarding DD conversion would be great at this point this is what I'm going with....



Metra 70-7550- Wiring harness? Or PAC ROEM-NIS2 - Not sure which one I need?



JDM DD Facia - http://www.ebay.com/...6ddc43f&vxp=mtr



and the Ca-Fi Dashlinq (Unless anyone can give me any other great alternatives??)



Nissan Antenna Adapter



Is there anything else I really need to do the conversion? I mean I intend to get Tonkins here in S.A to install it, but is there anything I've missed other than the wiring harness? the JDM unit comes with the A/C controller.



Let me know what you think, And about the BOSE, I mean it doesn't have leather seats how do I tell?

Make sure you join up with our official car club Jase www.sausa.com.au :)

As mentioned, John from Marvey Tech has done this conversion and all other sorts of electrical work on V35 and knows them well. Don't take it to Tonkins.

It doesn't matter what Brand adapter harness you get, as long as it has the correct female setup for whatever stereo you are getting. The Bose stereo literally has Bose written on it, and if you lean into the back seat with the stereo on you should be able to discern the 7th and 8th speakers from the Bose setup low in the side trim near the seats.

Ill post some relevant pics when I get it done, just rang marvey tech but he wasn't about but he'll get in touch, I'll bugger Tonkins off and use John then.

also those NSA leads work best on bose leads?

Are all the V35 systems Bose?

Cause this one definately has no bose branding, but is definately OE...

Pretty sure not all V35 stereos are Bose mate - you would want to verify before buying a harness. If you are in the NE area, go drop by Marveys and get John to have a look -

details below. John is a one man show, so if he was under a car or soldering something he often misses his phone. He will call you back. Tell him Andrew with the black V35 sent you and tell him you are going to join up with SAU:SA - he is a sponsor - he will do you a better price :)

I think our website has some issues at the moment. If you want to download the form, fill it out and PM it to me I can get it sorted for you.

Yeah I just spoke to John now, what a top bloke he said because my units probably not bose I may not need a harness at all but he's happy to take a look either way, I let him know you put me onto him, he said always good to get a good wrap up =P

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
