The JVC's are a lot cheaper... There's a reason for that too. Have heard from a few places that they've had a lot returned. At least one of them was a reliable source. The rest of them were probably just typical salesmen, trying to make me pay almost double for the Pioneer deck. :sly:

I'm still happy with my purchase and have played with it a lot more since my last post. Figured out the cd-text thing. Was just my crappy old 8x SCSI burner..

I never got hit with import Tax or anything else.

The only thing I payed for was the unit and the shipping and that cost me $700 all up. Not to sure if I was just lucky or not.......

Motoquipe has the DEH-P8450MP for sale at the moment for $899

OR

Message mooks66 to see what price he could get it for you.

I'm not to sure how I got around it I was expecting it but it never happened. I think it might have been the way they worded the shipping slip........ But can't exactly remember sorry.

As for the paying for import duties before receiving the goods I'm pretty sure either the shipping company (Fed-Ex etc. etc.) pays for it and then bills you or customs bills you but still sends your goods through.

But don't quote me on that I could be wrong, does anyone else out there know for sure?

As long as the GST is less than $50 then you don't have to pay. So make sure that your total cost including shipping is not over $AU500. Also it's a hit and miss situation, I got a notice from custom when my MP3 arrived but for all the other items that I bought over the Net, I never had problems with custom.

As in please come down to custum and fill in these forms before we can release the item. In the past it just goes straight to the post office and I go and pick it up. But this time the guy who sold the 8450 to me declared it as $US650, which means that I had to pay GST, but I explained the situation to custom saying that it's 2nd hand and I bought it for less than $AU500. In the end they let me go without paying GST. In the future make sure that you ask the seller to declare it less than $AU500 if you don't want to get hassled by custom.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
