  1. wow man im having the EXACT same problem. Im thinking of buying a skyline that i can always upgrade to a turbo when im off my p's, and im gettng a 4 door to make insurance cheaper too :devil: I just want to know if the non-turbo's have ANY sort of power behind them (not compared to a turbo, just generalised) to see if its worth even bothering till im off my P's.

    I wanna know where to get cheap insurance, lol as a 4 door non turbo owner I'm still paying around the $2,000+ mark as most insurance places don't deal with imports I had two choices last year but because my car isn't garages I only had one choice, personal opinion skylines are wicked, but to truly enjoy it wait to get a turbo model, or buy an r31 till you can get a turbo, for the price of a conversion you would just wish you waited and bought the turbo in the first place.

  2. if you hear NO clicking and NO whirring (my situation) then you're not getting power to the system.

    that's whats happening in my 34, i want to get it fixed but wasn't sure what the problem is, money is hell tight, last night was pulled over and got a defect warning about them, im going to go out and look at fuse shortly, my side mirrors are working ( is that a different motor altogether or does it use the same one?)

    i've noticed this happening with a lot of 33's but have not noticed any 34's, to PM them and ask.

  3. so..i spotted this Mitsubishi Lancer GT-R with dual mirrors on each side, dual exhaust left and right, custom kits (mini bullbar at the rear) and custom vinyls. spotted at Blacktown Westfields. :cheers: Oh and that black stripe to break the line is duct-tape.

    Now we know where to link the new kids looking for a cheap gtr to.

  4. That would have been me and the purple S15.

    Both of out cars run on E85 and neither had enough to do the round trip. Was good to finally open it up :)

    yeah went back up the road to do U turn missed 3 of those X emergency vehicle only u turn things, some rav 4 was sitting on my arse at 100k's tried to slow down and he nearly got me, he slammed on his brakes but i got round and headed back, me the idiot turned onto Mt keira road, instead of going all the way to the end of picton rd, so i ended up just driving down that way, got out at 1:15 checked my phone i was still like 25 mins away from meet spot, so i just headed back home my own fault in the end, but first half of the day was great, finally got to eat something at holsworthy, i was buggered and my little boy kept falling asleep but he kept asking "where did all the super fast cars go?" so seems as though he enjoyed himself too.

    and my damn windows wont go down anymore :cool:.

    at that traffic right at the start god damn, it was that slow my speedometer didn't have a number to point at, it was a nice sight to see you all waiting for everyone on the other side though.

    again a good day, thanks for being so welcoming, and im quite happy i now have some photos of my car not taken by me :happy::D:D:D:D:D:D

  5. in the last picture is a white set of connectors connected well if i disconnect that my radio goes back to static, i had a small square type thing installed the other week which shifts the FM bands or something which allowed me to get radio, i should have looked while i was there, the last picture has all those black wires and they go to the Rspec cables in that white connector you see, im thinking maybe the guy tapped into them ( i dont know much about electrics, but i know that as soon as i unplug that my radio doesnt work) when i plug the connector in without the rspec connector it still doesnt work.

    i can pull it apart again if you need some pore pictures of something.

    what are the odds of getting a second hand Xanavi HU that works?

  6. okay pulled it all out this afternoon EASY, looking at all the cables everywhere HARD lol, okay had a look at everything pulled all the cables in the back out and replugged them in to make sure they were in correctly, still nothing, tried using the bypass on to operate anything still nothing, i have found 1 plug that was covered in electrical tape though looking at the plugs i couldn't really match it to anything. i took some photos off the cables around and some of the TV bypass thingy to see if anyone can make anything out of it.

    Oh and i tried unplugging the bypass and plug it straight into the HU, but then i lost all radio stations and still nothing from the screen. so looking on the bad side in getting it working.

  7. 1 well the next wild card suggestion is related to only half the HU lighting up - a very odd siyuation - from experience I can tell you that like many brands of car stereos etc the plastic fascia with the controls is attached to the body of the HU and is removable (if your game that is ) - it has pressure contacts and some small circuit boards etc - and just maybe you have some problem related to the buttons/contacts on the fascia not working properly

    a long shot but is desperation anything may be worth a try

    ------------------------------

    2 also have you actually disassembled the whole unit from the dash and checked that all connectors at the back of the HU are actually connected - its not that hard a job and you can actually almost pull the whole unit out and turn it around before undoing and checking the connectors as the leads are all more than long enough - pulling it out completely takes about 3 minutes, the screen a little longer

    they are each only 'one fit' so there is no way you can mix em up even if you pull the unit out completely and refit it

    may give option 2 a go sometime soon, ive only had the car a month, never had any car as nice as this and dont wanna mess anything up, but if its all one fit, shouldnt be too much of a problem right. :D

    just put those led's from dan666 into the dash the other day and that went well, so i guess this is next. hopefully thats the problem.
