Mmm, nice Skyline V30.




Let's pull the dashboard apart!




All this, just to get the radio out. Sheesh.

The stereo had a CD stuck in it, and wasnt giving a fault code, just refusing to eject. I removed it, teased the CD out, and reinstalled it, hoping it would work- it didnt, but at least now it gives an error code rather than just beeping.

Mmmm, fun!

Did you try running the stereo through an eject cycle by turning whatever motor drives it manually (with power off)? Could be there's a sensor switch that's busted or dirty, or some bit of crap blocking the mechanism.

This is the main reason I hate those totally-integrated stereo systems. Yeah, they look good, and modern decks sound pretty decent unlike older stuff that was always begging to be upgraded with aftermarket. But things will go wrong, and you are at the mercy of the dealer (or junkyard) for a replacement headunit or amp if there is no way to get deep inside and repair the original. I think 80 percent of CD headunit failures are from the laser dying.

This is the reason I wont buy a car with a totally intergrated stereo unit. What a nightmare! Nice car though :) Not as good as an AE86 but nice
