Only complaints I have are that it doesn't auto-scroll the track name/artist etc -u have to hold down a button for it. Oh and the steering wheel remote sometimes does not "talk" to the headunit.

Other than that, 4V rca's, seperate sub control, sexy face and playing MP3's is pretty darn good.

I'm glad I spent the money tho. :D

Yeah I've got a Pioneer DEH-P8450 MP. I also agree with Tool's comments, my only real gripe is the scrolling functionand it is a little slow to load mp3's compared to the other deck I was tossing up against (Alpine FantomFace). It is very customisable, but really havent had much of a play with it yet or got the CD-TEXT to work on some of my burnt cd's. I presume it has it?

It is a schmick looking unit with a funky display and it plays MP3's so i'm happy! Still one of the best MP3 decks on the market in my opinion..

NuGGeT I got it on ebay :uh-huh: from this guy he is really good it only took about 5 days to get here using FedEx and you can track it all the way.

He hasn't got one at the moment but he has a very nice 03 Kenwood D Mask for $555 and ad about another $100 for the shipping.

Hope it helps :P

yeah i've got one of those as well - awersome head unit, pretty much the same complaints as the other guys though, couldn't be happier with it and i can justify spending the money that i did cause it really is worth it!!! paid $1050 from autobarn at one of their sales a few months ago... i was pretty happy with that price then as it was something like $500 bucks off rrp. In relation to why it takes so long to load mp3's, i'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the fact that it - the headunit - rebuilds the mp3 or more the wave of the song to give a clearer song - was told this by the rep from autobarn when i enquired about the new alpine 2003 headunits and he said that they do the same thing which is why they also take a fair while to load a mp3 song. I final thing... i wish it had some more screensavers though... they are so cool :-)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
