New Deck?

06-09-2003, 08:04 PM

For those of you who replaced the factory radio....how'd u get the new deck to fit into that big slot? If you made a face plate for it, what did u make it out of?
Also, were there any complications when installing the new deck? My friend recently installed an alpine deck in his s13 240sx and said that he ran into a few compatibility problems. Im just wondering if this extends to all nissans (particularly 300zx's).
Thanks again in advance (ahh the questions never end)

Most Local Audio stores will offer plates, otherwise Motor sport auto sells them. Don't forget your wiring harness too

Oh thats right, someone told me about that before hand. But just out of curiosity, has anybody ever custom made their own?

Why bother? $15 is all they cost. Materials and time to fabricate something of your own would cost you well over that.

Haha tru. But then again i live in canada. This is like backwards land for car parts. I hope i can find these face plates up here.

Best Buy has them in the installation bay. I forgot the name of the sister company that is up there in Canada, but they most likely have them also.

Im gonna check around and find a nice face plate. My uncle told me the very same thing so i guess they ARE available up here afterall.
