Just do as in this video but on the opposite side : There is no clock but still there is a screw at the same place, needs to be done the exact same way.

Ahh I see what your talking about. The common way to get AUX sound into the M35 stock isn't to remove that cord, but to leave it in place a run an aux cord off the TV tuner in the rear LH boot trim. It sends a signal tho the screen and the screen in turn pushes the Audio out the head unit via that wire I believe.

Doing it this way you can also display video (NTSC in potato resolutions only though).

Or just upgrade the head unit, it's usually more cost effective.

I would also run a new 12v wire to the clarion receivers in the boot roof to allow for a steady voltage feed and improved reception.

For my 1000th dumb noob question, what are the receivers you speak off? Receivers for TV or radio?

They are in the top rear passenger side of the rear roof lining. If you remove the rear roof panels you will see them (2). They amplify the signal from the glass

Well just fitted a new Sony Head unit.

Took my time , used the Iso harnesses.

All went well, tested for sound before refitting everything.

Not much room behind the head unit for cables, especially with added iso plugs and leads.

Tucked in all in gently, put it ALL back together, now one speaker doesn't work.

Great.

Could be faullty head unit, faulty nissan iso harness, faulty sony harness or a break in one wire some where.

If you tested it and everything work before you push the HU back in then maybe a wire got crunch/fell out soft of thing? Which ISO did you use?

I"m the Aerpro man here, if you suspect the iso harness screw up, give me the part # and i can check for you.

Sorry to bother you. Can you advise me of the correct Aerpro part number for adapter cable to suit the Bose stereo model please? My plan is to simply feed an MP3 player into the system initially, then remove the CD-ROM drive and install a 'proper' car stereo. Mine is a 2001 M35 Stagea, BTW. I don't feel like spending a fortune ($500.00+?) replacing the whole centre section, just so I can fit a double DIN unit.

Sorry but i'm not 100% clear on what you're after.

You after ISO harness or T-harness?

If you want something like an RCA in so you can feed your MP3 player into the Unit, first of all, your unit needs to have an AUX button, then you can start from there.

I don't have a Bose HU in my stagea so i don't really know what they look like and what the rear plug looks like either.

Since I have not pulled the stereo out yet, I don't know what I require. Sorry to be so vague. I am comfortable with electronics, so I can make pretty much anything work with anything, but I figured the Aerpro cable might make my life easier. See, I plan to do the whole job in a day (or two), so I wanted to have any adapters to hand before I start. I really don't want to strip the dash out, work out what is needed, reassemble, order the parts, then strip it all down again. Make sense? There is no AUX input on my Stagea stereo, though I was told it is a Bose system.  I have enclosed a photo of my Stagea stereo and the DVD ROM can be seen to the left of the photo. My plans are as follows (subject to change and not necessarily in this order):

* Rip out the stereo and the DVD-ROM drive. 

* Install a cheap radio/CD/MP3 player where the DVD-ROM drive is. 

* Locate the line level section of the cassette deck, break the line and terminate in a 3.5mm socket, so an i-phone/MP3 player can be plugged in.

* Integrate the radio/CD/MP3 player into the system.

* Install a new SATNAV/reversing camera somewhere.

 

BTW: I know what an ISO harness is, but not a "T-harness'.

 

Thanks for your advice and assistance. I am pretty new to Stagea ownership (2 weeks).

I see

Sounds like you just need a Nissan Bose to ISO, ISO to your HU brand, any Autobarn or SCA can help, i believe the boys here said nissan patrol iso harness will suit.

Not sure if Bose is any difference, you have built in Sub & Amp, if so then you might also need a low or high level converter.

I'm new to the Stagea myself, yet to pull the HU out to check as i'm going to set up GPS/Reverse cam but i'm lucky enough the car already comes with a Double Din Slot.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
