Does anyone have one of these gathering dust (from an aftermarket audio project that it is never going to happen.. :/ )?

I'd like to purchase one for a CPV35, 2003, premium edition with dual A/C & navigation.

I'm aware that these are available from the USA, or locally from Chris Rogers, but thought someone might have one spare that they aren't going to use.

Good luck to both of you finding a silver double din here in Aus. Your best chance is emailing a infiniti dealer in the USA for one or two. You will have better luck. If you are after a black one you could get one off a stagea or off yahoo japan but silver is easier to source from the US

I suggest Sewell Infiniti in Texas or OC Infiniti.

^^ Agreed.. highly doubt anyone has one 'laying around', they are in demand.

I was assumming that I would have to order from the USA - however I thought there might be a small chance that someone had been clearing space & wanted to get some cash for the hardware they've never had time to install.

Do you have any recommendations on aftermarket dash kits: Scosche, Metra, Turbo etc.? They appear to be quite reasonably priced, however I'm unsure how well they fit.

Because most cars that have the silver dash have Bose and not many replace them with double din. I suggest OEM ones. All the metra type kits are tacky and do not look nice at all. I would spend the extra and get a new OEM one from the states

fyi I sold a silver double din BOSE eom with refurbished internals for $1k about 2 years ago. These things are valuable and in demand (especially if they have been refurbished), as they are continually stuffing up.

DO NOT buy any variety of Metra kit - they are junk.

I'd like to retain usage of the 7" pop-up navigation screen - these kits appear to accommodate that requirement.

All the metra type kits are tacky and do not look nice at all.

Metra has plasticky rubber buttons that just feel and look cheap.


Is preference on OEM only due to the buttons? If so, I should be able to fit the original buttons.

Or is the plastic poorly molded and cheap?

Why would you want jap buttons?? Unless you're Japanese of course...

correct-o!

Actually I speak/used-to-speak Japanese - so I prefer to keep buttons in Japanese.

You can keep the factory pop up screen when you buy an oem one. Yeah the buttons arent nice to the touch, not tactile, plastic is cheap and facia just isnt as nice its like the home brand cheapo option. And the metra kits dont come on the bright silver like your after. Upto you.

And smokeyV35 because yes only japanese pople can read japanese. I can read and configure the screen and im not japanese. Its not hard

Interesting discussion re: japanese / english for JDM cars.

I see one of the perks of purchasing a JDM car is that the car maintains it's Japanese heritage.

I'm not a fan of rebadging to infiniti logos - although I do like the Mt. Fuji based design.

Agreed. I love the japanese stickers and buttons.

I will say smokeyV35 that your center console looks awesome in the glossy/piano black, chrome temp surround and the screen. Those USDM buttons are nice (tho i prefer the jap ones) it all looks really nice and classy.

I take my hat off to you sir. But im keeping all mine factory grey for the OEM simple look.

Smokey how/where did you get that black one from???

I took all the parts to a panel beater and asked him to make it look 'piano gloss black' - so it's 2pac straight black with gloss clear and lots of hardener to make it durable against normal wear and tear.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
