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?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
