Where can i get a DIN install kit? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys, I just bought a Deck and i cant find a place that carries the install kit for a 1993 Nissan 240sx. Right now the car has a big open space where the radio and pocket is suppose to be, so i dont know what is suppose to be there. Does anyone know what other things i need to install the deck other then the install kit and wire harness?

Thanks

S13 not really the best for aftermarket head units, there will be no DIN kit. just whatever is in the car. Majority of the time, you will not be able to install the included lil plastic trim that surrounds the head unit it self. All i can suggest is goin to a junk yard.

Another thing, Ive noticed some chitty looking installs where the headunit is sticking out of the surrounding console trim. That looks chitty imo.

Buy the OE brackets at a yard or dealer, screw it right in.

The DIN kits they make for the 240 sit flush with the dash, so that the radio will stick out once installed. Looks terrible.

I'm about to put a DIN headunit in my 89 Coupe, I'm harvesting the metal bracket out of a sentra, should be the same.

If all else fails I can always do what I did in my 85 Toyota 4x4 and utilize the "G-Shock suspension mounting system", aka zip ties

Hey mikel let me know if the brackets from the sentra fit. Just in case i cant find any 240s around in the wrecking yard.
