So every other image of the stagea interior ive seen on the forum has the dvd player above the glovebox and some flush inbuilt stereo in front of the shifter, my car for some reason has another entire glovebox above my glovebox, and the dvd player is instead in the centre, along with a single DIN radio and a non-popup screen. The setup was definitely installed in japan as my radio refuses to go outside like 70-89 on frequency and I cant find a manual.

Would the stereo removal process be the same as the normal m35 removals on the forum or can I simply slide the single DIN radio out somehow with a tool?

Also, my antennas are like built inside my windshield and Im going to need a new windshield, how would I replace those?

You actually listen to the radio?

Nah, it’s more for the sake of having the function just cause lol. 

Aux works fine but I’d much prefer to stick a Bluetooth radio or even a single din CarPlay radio that folds out or something.

I just can’t figure out how I pull the thing out as all the v35/g35/m35 removal guides I've looked at have different shaped plastic trims that don’t match up to mine so I’m weary of following them and ripping the car up for nothing.

Just to be clear.....none of that audio shit mounted in the dash is OEM right? It's all aftermarket Jap? In which case, if there is a tool for removing the headunit, it will be Pioneer specific. Some little thing made out of 2mm thick flat sheet with 2 prongs on it or something, to push in and release the tangs. Would only be accessible after you've removed the fascia trim from it.

Same with the Panasonic things. Just work out how to prise that trim off from around the shifter and up the dash. Probably some screws hidden in the ash tray, and the rest of it is just clipped in and you break the clips off with a small flat blade screwdriver and then swear a lot.

From what I can gather the radio, screen and Navi are aftermarket jap but the navi+screen is connected to my OEM reverse cam and tv tuner somewhere else in the car.
 

I’ll poke around with some pry tools and have a look then.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
