2003 350GT double din install

Hi all,

I'm a new member here and a new owner of a 2003 350GT Coupe (Absolutely love it).

I wanted to upgrade the seemingly outdated Bose system to a double din system.

I've read over multiple threads and don't really understand what parts I need (Shroud etc) as I see many different shrouds and am unsure as to which one will fit my car.

Would this one fit and match the colour of the silver 2003 350GT? https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-jdm-double-din-conversion-kit-titanium-silver-infiniti-g35-03-04-sedan-coupe-v35-27500-am5kt_p_3413.php#description

Is someone able to list other parts that I would need to complete the upgrade with possible links by any chance?

My Father has a friend living in Japan who imports cars to Australia, so I could always get him to source something for me as long as I gave him the part I needed which is where I need your help.

Thanks heaps.

Jacob.

After more research, i've figured out that this is the part I will need.

Can anyone recommend any places to do the install in Sydney? I am no where near capable enough to install this myself and want someone who has experience in installing these.

I have the Bose system, Is there anything else I'll need other than what I list below?:

OEM Double din kit
Car Media player
PAC ROEM-NIS2

Cheers.

Just do a ring around to the Audio/Auto electricians. 

The V35 has been around for a long time now and it's really common to install the double din and upgrade the audio. So i bet you'll find businesses with experience.

Thanks Paul, 

I've rang around a lot places in my area and a lot of them don't have experience doing them, but are happy to give it a shot. I've read places like Strathfield audio and autobarn don't do the best jobs, but i've found a few places on gumtree who are willing to do it for a good price and who's work looks satisfactory. Hopefully someone can recommend a place in Sydney that they know has the experience with it.

So I had it installed today by the guys at Lifestyle Store in Parramatta. I am extremely happy with how it turned out and how much better it sounds. They were able to make it flush with the JDM facia and were able to route the USB conveniently into the centre console. Avi looked after me really well and actually has the exact same car so was very familiar with my concerns and was able to work well with what was needed. Was stoked they were able to keep the OEM nav pop up too.

Looks great!! So did you order the US shroud kit as well as the line out converter?

Thanks!

Yeah ordered both from the US which was the longest process as it took a little longer than I anticipated, but it turned out looking so much nicer than the metra kit conversions. I'm more than happy with how I went about it.

Hi mate.

I am at the point where you wre at the start of the thread, driving me a bit crazy!! 
Can you help by telling me where did you get the double Din facia including dual zone climate control? Also, where did you get the English version TV/GPS?

Haha. very interesting. 

 

How are their pricing though? 

I have my eye on the shroud alone rather than get the one with the a/c controls (doesn't seem necessary)  --  https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-jdm-68260-al710-double-din-radio-bezel-black-infiniti-g35-03-04-v35_p_3370.php

Just found the shroud cheaper here

apologies for the delayed response.

I don't know if you have had this sorted but I believe you will need both the shroud AND the a/c controls when putting in a double din. The one i ordered from concept z performance was not dual zone climate control, but they were able to take the button off the old a/c controls and solder it onto the new one that came with the fascia.

Also, my OEM nav/TV is still in japanese and not english :)

Hey jsmit94 how much did this all cost and can I just go to lifestyle and they supply the parts or do I have to buy them before I go there thanks

Hi there,

It cost me roughly $1200-$1400 for all the parts and the install.

They definitely do have a range of stereo's etc, but for the facia kit, you either need to buy a cheap metra one (they may be able to order it for you) or order the OEM one like I did from the US.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
