I'm thinking of getting https://sinergymotorsports.com.au/product/stereo-fascia-nissan-v35-series-1/

but at $535 i'm wondering if there are any other options.

Also, is there anything else i need to know about removing the factory satnav/stereo unit?

Holy shit that's expensive.

You shouldn't need an aftermarket fascia kit (unless you've got the stock volts, boost & torque gauge that you want to keep).

I have the sat nav with the pop-up screen in mine and replaced it with a touch-screen for Android Auto (running OpenAuto Pro on a Raspberry Pi 4).

All of those components are separate. If you're removing the SatNav, you could chuck the volts, boost & torque gauge where the CD-ROM is and put a double-DIN unit down the bottom.

Mine has the factory cd/tape/radio system that's integrated into the fascia, so its different to yours (there's no DIN slots).

Got any more info on that touch screen setup? I know a little about android having installed lineageOS on a motorola.

Oh right, I forgot that was a thing.

Here's my original post covering the Raspberry Pi setup.

Was using OSMC/Kodi for a while but was a bit annoying having to find something to play after first starting the car.

The great thing about OpenAuto Pro running Android Auto is music just starts playing straight away (I'd demo it for you but it defaults to maps and will show location and nav history).

Crankshaft is the free version but I reckon it's worth paying for OpenAuto Pro as it really is a bit more polished.

I was using the factory screen and an Apple TV remote with a programmable IR receiver (FLIRC) but was a bit tedious with OpenAuto Pro/Android Auto (you really need a touchscreen).

Worked out I could get a 7" in the factory location so ordered it from AliExpress. Did have to clearance some of the plastic to get it to fit snug and cable routing was a pain but works okay (I really wanted to retain the factory pop-up and retract setup rather than just having a fixed-screen sticking out of the dash).

Next step is to wire up the factory buttons for shortcuts like volume control and previous/next track. Once I do that, I can rip the Alpine unit out entirely.

If you're interested, this guy does a good guide on how to set it up and what components you need. It also does OBDII readouts with a compatible adapter.

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
