First of all, can you read Japanese? Although some of the main functions are in English, most if not all the sub-menus will be in Japanese, or at the very least katakana (Japanese script used for foreign words).

When you say 'so much more advanced', what are you refering to exactly? I see that JVC, Eclipse (Fujitsu Ten) etc all have Aussie models for sale here that are pretty much what you get in Japan ie: the Eclipse E400AVZ http://www.fujitsuten.com.au/products.htm (scroll down).

You mentioned they were cheaper in Japan too... well, when buying used electronics from Japan you have to be very careful in that you don't buy something that is on it's way out. Usaully all the decent electronics gear worth buying is either brand new, or near new... with anear new price tag to match. Yes it is still cheaper over there, but factor in shipping costs and no warranty outside Japan (or no claim no return from auctions), and you're almost at the price of a new DVD screen all-in-one 2DIN unit bought from a car audio place here.

Also remember too, alot if not all the ultra cheap stuff in Japan electronics wise is straigh outta south central China. You seriously get what you pay for in those instances, so stick to well known brands IMO.

You don't need a voltage converter, thats only for household electronics.

hey buddy,

i installed a jap one in mine, and its been working fine for over a year now. if u know how to put in a headunit, its exactly the same thing with a couple of extra wires that connect to the monitor

yea i can read japanese that is no problem and i will be buying brand new without shiping as i am in japan at the moment, there is soo much more choice over here and newer models.

hey moonus did u install just a screen or player+screen?

is there no problem with the regions as japan and australia have different dvd region codes,

and is yours pal/ntsc compatible

some more information would be great

thanks

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
