Hi guys is there a write up on how to remove the standard head unit in an M35? I've done searches but can't find anything. I've found some V35 write ups/videos but they don't seem right with the M35. They say to remove the silver panel where the clock is in a V and where the time and A/C display is in an M then remove the panel under the steering wheel and undo a couple of screws. Is this right for a Stagea? It doesn't seem right to me but hey I'm probably wrong.

Thanks and merry Christmas

Glove box out, panel under steering wheel out, clock panel out, gear knob off, center console out, the two panels with pockets on either side of center console out.. i used the v35 youtube vid for guidance and got it pretty quick

Just something I had trouble with, double check your harness before plugging it

DONT NOT GROUND THE RED/BLUE WIRE!!!! it is actually the cabin lights/parkers/tail lights!!!

I blew up the fuse by doing so with the harness I got.

Also, not sure if you got a metra kit for the double din conversion but make sure you have the air con control board as the oem one is most certainly just one big board shared with the stereo.

Had to take everything apart after I got one to install it and that's not something you want to do 3 times like I had to ;)

I'm not going double din, staying single din. Isn't the aircon separate to the stereo? I've only got a normal single din with gauges on top then I think aircon on top of that...

Got the head deck out and can see what you mean now. They should sell these at autobarn shouldn't they?

Also, what's outlined in the pic below I assume is the aux in? Does autobarn or similar sell an adapter to change what used to plug into that to a 3.5mm head phone jack for the aux in on new head deck?

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
