news on double din dash-not good

well after talking to my hookup about the double din dash kit and ac controls, it doesnt look good for those of us with the titanium dash package, it seems that the double din dash only comes in the 350GT skylines (350GT8, 350GT, 350GT Premium) cars in japan. And the cars that come with titanium dashes also come with the premium crappy bose, it seems that the only color the double din comes in is black, or maybe willow, but he didnt say willow anything about willow. So our only choices are to get the double din in black and buy the piece around the shifter in black, or buy black and get it painted, or just get the ac controls and cut the titanium dash we already have. damn that sucks. oh well ill keep you all informed.

Re: news on double din dash-not good

the dash would be dark brown for those w/ willow interior

btw painting the thing doesnt cost alot...you can get it professionally done, even clearcoated (will resist all scratches and look sooooo shiny) for under $50

You can definitely count me in for the dark brown if your contact is able to get a hold of them. I've seen pics of black and dark brown on one of the other threads about the double din.

Re: news on double din dash-not good

OK, I emailed www.japanparts.com. They can order the dash, here is part of the email:
Thank you for the inquiry.
As for the doubledin dash pieces for the Skyline V35 /G35, it needs a little hard work to install it because of the Dual Climinate Controller.

The Climinate Controller #27130 is NOT the dual climinate contoroller since the Nissan sells the Dual Zone Climinate Contoroler only as a set with Bose Sound system. But, actually the part #27130 has the function for the dual zone ckiminate contoroler without the button for it. And you can use the button taking from your car and re-install on it.

One of our customer who tried to install the dash pieces said that " **Note: I removed the "Dual-Zone" button from my OEM US version dash and replaced the blank with it. This was very difficult and as careful as I was damaged one of the three tabs that held this button in place. The installation was not hard except for the removal and reinstallation of the Navigation unit form on dash to the next. Someonw without navigation would not have any difficulties. It is a very time consuming though and I would not reccommend this for someone not experienced in Car Audio installation."

Here is a quotation for you. Also, please check the attached picture.
I marked all the parts I quoted, but not sure that you needed some other pieces or not.
Also, some of the parts are back ordered this moment, and it'll take about 3-4weeks to deliver to you.

Re: news on double din dash-not good

Wow...cool, great info! Seems a bit expensive tho. That's about $450, altho if you have the NAV system you don't need the $68 dash pocket...actually, would you need it anyway? (I have the NAV system so doesn't make a diff to me, just curious).

Also notice that the bottom DIN unit is somewhat obstructed by the shifter. Not the best place for a radio, but you could stick an eq there or something.

I'm sure there are enough people that would want this that we could a group buy together and maybe get a lower price on this.

tig488, you have the NAV?
