Speaker Replacement

Hey all,

I'm going to be replacing the head unit in my v soon for obvious reasons. I was wondering if it is worth replacing the speakers at the same time?

I'm just wondering how difficult is it to remove the head unit once an aftermarket one is installed. I will be getting a pro to do the hu initially but if I want more after is it easy or a royal pain?

I don't really know how good the stock system is because of the appalling standard hu.

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?

While I'm on it, got any suggestions for a good hear unit somewhere around d $500 mark?

I'm running an aftermarket head unit with the stock bose system, and I'm happy with it.

Every other car I've owned had my focal 6.5 inch splits and a big amp installed, with copious amounts of dynamat, (I have to admit it sounded particularly good in my AE111 Levin considering the interior of the car was tiny)

The V35 is probably not as good, but its close enough that I'm not replacing the stock speakers until they die.

If you don't have the bose system, I'd probably replace it all

Agree the bose speakers are not the best thing you will ever hear but defiantly better than cheap pioneer kenwood ect so upgrade to really good speakers, if there is somthing wrong or your really really picky! my advise would be to still add an amp and sub to the boot, that combo sounds great with the stock speakers

Appreciate the info guys. Is it hard to add more cabling to the headunit after its been installed though? The guy who's doing it was going on about having to wire in the climate control and such, I don't want to have to go through that everytime, or do I have no choice?

if you buy an aftermarket double din, the wiring goes to that not the head unit. so the hard part is already done. i had my head unit out to plug a new aux cable into the back the other day. it took me less than an hour. so shouldn't matter when your putting speakers in. but if you where to do it properly id just run a spare rca to the boot now so you can plug amps in later. as for good aftermarket speakers you need a good amp!

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
