Delema...

Car has a CD player and a cassette/stacker. now the cd shows stuff (buttons) on the TV and the volume is on the cassette unit. I has an Alpine touch screen TV all in one from my last car.

My delema is I either disconnect the CD and cassette and have 2 dins spare then put my alpine in and have 1 spare.And thats counting on it fitting because the 34 has a slopey design and the top CD player sticks out a lot. I did actually get the TV to play movies via an external NTSC source but thats a bit gay.

Whatabout the soarers I heard the TV can be converted for TV signal.

Has anyone put a unit in before?

it sort of looks like this.

Not too sure what you're asking? I have got a 1 DIN sized CD/DVD/MP3 player in the top slot and a map pocket in the 2nd DIN slot.

I have my DVD player connected to the MFD via the simple modification you can do but my DVD player can output NTSC or PAL regardless of the DVD region. But yeah I hardly ever use it.

As for converting the MFD to receive aussie TV signals i dont think its possible or worthwhile. As far as I know the TV button isn't anything to do with receiving Jap TV at all and simply a toggle switch to go from MFD to NTSC input mode for things like sat nav, and other AV factory options.

no pics on me at the moment unforunately but there are no gaps at all. You will find that all aftermarket CD players come with little plastic surrounds that can be modified pretty easily if you find that there are some gaps. The way the R34 dash is designed tho the brushed aluminium covers the gaps up quite well.

And yeah, I can watch DVD's through the factory monitor. This requires a small amount of modification to the MFD. You have to pull it apart and solder two wires to various pins and mount an RCA socket on the back of it. Very simple to do.

mine has the TV button on the cd player. is that a hassle?

Is your's a Vspec? This mod only works for MFD's with TV buttons on the MFD itself as far as i know. This is my interior before I put an aftermarket CD player in:

That top "CD player" is a sat nav system :rofl: The CD drive is for the map CD/DVD. Its a bummer too because you cant make it work in Australia (the nav) and it kinda clutters up your dash.

One option would be to pull the unit out and get the non-nav climate control unit from Yahoo Japan auctions - then you get more space for your audio gear. I see them go pretty cheap occasionally.

hey guy! im interested to know what sort of ball park figures did it cost you's to import ur 34 gtr's?  

Cheers

Well i imported mine before import duty changed to 10% (was 15%) and when the aussie dollar was a bit weaker against the yen so it's not really relevant how much it cost to import.

I can tell you tho that there are a few more issues when importing a car worth over $60k like extra stamp duty and Luxury car tax that many "import cost calculators" dont take into account, then there's compliance cost blowouts like stock parts, and brembo brake pads.

It's not easy to have a good condition no accident damaged car landed and complied under $70k - then you gotta pay rego and stamp duty...

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
