Changing The Headdeck

Got a R33 skyline and got a odd head deck in it which fills the whole gap that the normal cd player & radio came in, in the skyline.

Anyway... not liking the headdeck that came with the skyline due to a few reasons, mostly because its damm hard to figure out how to use it without any manuals.

So... what I'm thinking is either

a) get a normal size mp3 head deck

or

B) get a dvd head deck player & a 7" screen mounted above the dvd player to fill the whole game.

Just wondering what would be best to do?

Also if I was to get the mp3 head deck, how would I forfill the gap underneath it? Where would I get one of those small bucket place holding things that people put in theirs if they get the small face plate head deck things?

Thanks!

Satanic, I have seen them... if it's the ones I've seen then they are two units, one with a no-name screen, that connects up to a no-name head unit that plays DVDs, CD,s etc...

I was looking to go down this path, but how often do you carry DVD's in the car and actually watch them? Meh! I bought an mp3 player, rewired the whole rig, and got an aftermarket DIN slot for my smokes and mobile. (same as my old car had).

To be honest, the aftermarket DIN pockets don't fit too nicely and I had to do some dremel-modding to make it screw in nicely. I'd be more inclined in the future to try getting a genuine pocket from Nissan that apparently is used on Pulsars etc.

That, or buy the pocket that you had for sale, Stan! I kinda wish I had seen it first... it looks like it'd fill a DIN hole perfectly!

Well it's actually just ON HOLD atm... although I don't think Prank will fall through :P WILL YOU NOW PRANK :P

And yes it is/was a perfect fit... even better than the replacement Sony I got ;)

Try going out to get a similiar item from Nissan... it'll be a lot more than $70 I can assure you. Besides as mentioned above this one has been taken, so obviously it wasn't overpriced.

Well, when I installed my head deck I put a cd holder instead of a pocket. It wasn't an exact fit so on the top I put some filler foam I found lying around my dad's workbench.

Just a thought for you.

How goes the search? you decided yet what you want to do with the stereo install?

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.

      R34 GT+t stock Auto transmission?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Extra torque will wear it out. The clutches won't be to the same spec as those on the turbo box, and the shift speeds possibly won't suit handling more torque either. Autos in R34s are a nightmare. 8HP conversion is the only sensible option.
