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..

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

a notice?? what do u mean??

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.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
