hello,

Just bought my dream car yesterday Skyline 350 GT after waiting 4 years

. I know this may sound stupid but I need some help with tuning in the radio. It seems that I can only tune between 76.0 and 90.0 can anyone help me please?

Cheers

Japanese radios use a different band to the rest of the world, you'll either need a band expander (not ideal but it sort of works), a radio from an export model 350GT or an aftermarket one (which will sound better than a factory unit)

many thanks for that. I will have to do a bit of searching for decent radio.

I've got a spare band expander for sale, m8...

Not ideal but will give you some breathing room while you search of a new radio....
