I dont have any CD's to listen to.

i've got a stock s13 tape deck. it took me a loooooooong time to find one.
it worked for quite a while, then the numbers for what station youre on stopped working, and then the tape deck stopped working, now only the am/fm radio works.

you should buy it from me for $25 shipped

Plenty of aftermarket stereos are not flashy.

Only broke asses had tape-decks in the 90's. That shit was so 80's. Cool kids had MD Decks.

Didn't Nissan make some OEM CD decks for S13's? I seem to remember seeing one before...
But these days I'd rather have a tape deck to plug my iPod into anyway...

The cassette-to-aux adapters give terrible audio quality, just so you know. Like worse than mono.

That probably won't work because of radio signal, I think japan used different radio signal right? i dunno

Look at later model nissan stereos, if the wiring is different, shouldn't be hard to match up. Figure you could still put an amp on the speaker out lines, and upgraded speakers to get better sound.

Exact same thing with me. Number display doesn't show. My tape does work, iirc. I'm selling one also if anyone wants to stick to the OEM look.

Retarded. Stripped but run a heavy ass sub? Why not run full interior then? It's only a few more pounds on top


On topic I have an oem tape deck in my '90. Works fine except sometimes the numbers will disappear. Stock antanna works aswell

For sale to

yeah, 10". so fucking heavy.

i should probably get my whole car done in dry carbon, since im all about that lightweight life.

I still have most of the interior front seats forward, just like majority of people here -rear is stripped. SORRY I DIDNT CLARIFY.

Different people have different priorities and reasons for doing things that make sense to them.
Pretty sure most people would not agree with half of the things I do to my car, and I do not care to justify them to anyone.

Back on topic like someone suggested Nakamichi is very popular when it comes to stock/OEM looking stereos.

here in Australia there is a local electronic store that sells this very simple mp3 player/radio that I used for the factory look

s13 Factory "Look" Radio how-to guide - Hardtuned.net (http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=532828)

The best looking one is from a silvia k's ca18, one of the original radio's that s13's had back in 88' :

I have the stock s14 CD player still in my s14, I have mb quart components in all corners with dynamat in both qps,trunk,doors,under the rear seat and under the whole carpet. The total added weight of the dynamat was around 28lbs. Still gonna take the roof liner and line the roof as well. The weight doesn't bother me at all since its a dd.

@Matej looks awesome. Would you recommend it?


Sorry for being off-topic. I'm looking for a good stereo and can't make my mind up which one is the best.

There are so many aftermarket stereos that it's hard to find a good one. Many of them have one digit difference in their name. Anyways I've been reading reviews on the nets and they are all hype. Most of them downplay the negatives and hype features like 7" as if it would be that important. I've found a different blog and I've set my heart on the alpine halo9. The thing I liked about this blog is that it says it how it is. No sugar coating no BS. This page (https://greatestspeakers.com/alpine-halo9-ilx-f309-review/) is a bit critical. It has highlighted some flaws that put me on the fence. What do you say?

Any tips?
