Hi Wrathernaut,
Just wondering if you are familiar with this?
http://www.beatsonicusa.com/stereo/s...ti/nsa-04.html
I'm from Australia so have a JDM V35. Installed my double din last week to fix the aircon issue.
At the moment, ive reading a lot to get prepared for the headunit install.
On the Skylines Australia forums, people seem to recommend using the Beatsonic over the PAC ROEM-NIS2... To me, the Beatsonic seems like a complete rip off (and seems to do the same thing as the PAC?).
Been going through a lot of forum posts on here and on the Australian forums, and there doesn't seem to be a definite answer as to if the PAC ROEM-NIS2 works on the V35 or not.
Does anyone know of anyone whos been successful in installing the PAC ROEM-NIS2 on a JDM V35 with Bose?
Cheers,

It's a USA site, and lists the US versions of those cars. If the Australian guys have been using that as a plug-n-play option, the ROEM-NIS2 should have the same success for the V35 as the G35.

Hey, I FINALLY got ahold of a JDM kit for my 04. I wanna thank you for all the answering of questions, just wanted clarification on a something:
Is the 03/4 JDM kit the same whether you have nav or not? I know the 05/6/7 is different for nav/non-nav models, but I can't seem to find a clear answer on the 03/4. They seem to be the same. Only reason I'm asking is cuz the one I bought didn't say, so now I'm hoping I didn't just get the wrong one..

Alright, one more question now that I'm looking for a head unit. Are there any dimension limitations I should pay attention to? I mean I don't know how deep the cavity goes behind the dash as far as useable space is concerned. Anything I should stay away from? Or has this never been a problem? I want a 7" screen. If the depth of the unit is 4" will I be OK?

Haha cool. I do remember seeing those old turn table kits. Must have been a baller to have one of those in '58.

Alright, so I'm wanting to bypass this crap Bose amp (I'll get another one later), so my HU is gonna be powering my speakers. Usually you can only power 4 speakers with a HU (right?), but obviously I've got the 6. Can I splice the mid and rear speaker wires so all 4 are powered by the 'rear' signal from the HU? Or is this some jerry rigging bullshib? Haha or are they already daisy chained that way?
I'm replacing the speakers too, so basically just wondering if I should get 4 or 6.

I've replaced parts and stuff (HUs, speakers, etc.) But never really overhauled a whole audio system. Gonna have to research the stuff that works best for what I want.

Hey Wrathernaut 
Do you think it is much more advisable to just replace the radio to one of the following instead of using the GROM USB3?
http://www.customsounds.com/product/...U#.VECBefldXwp
http://www.customsounds.com/product/...T#.VECB1vldXwo
PS. I don't need an lcd screen.
I tried the GROM, but was not satisfied on how its gonna look on the car, returning it now.
So what do you think? Do I sill need to buy a double trim for these would they just fit well? I have no NAV
