IMHO Blaupunkt are a good quality brand.

My headunit is a Blaupunkt florida which i bought second hand in 2000 from Cash Converters for $200 and its still in my car now, working perfectly. Looks better than all those other crap head units out their with their flashy LCD animations and all that...

I would have rated Blaupunkt as pretty good? From what research I was doing, they have a fairly good reputation.

They make some of the "high" end stuff for stock model cars. By aftermarket standards the stock units wouldn't compare... but the aftermarket universal head units and stuff like that apparently are pretty good!

Now... Chris will shoot us all down! ;o)

nah. I'll second the OEM comment though. considering I bought a new combo van and I have no intent of swapping the OEM unit in it (whick is blau.)

the top end gear is great! not flashy as some would like but when it comes to sound - damn good for price.

So that's pretty much what i've been hearing.

I was actually shopping for a Blaupunkt HU when I bought my Skyline, but even eBay had diddly-squat in the way of variety/availability.

Ended up with a Kenwood 5029 something-or-other. Blue lights and flashy facia.

Well, thanks for the input, Chris!

no probs.

blau went back to the specialist only so you wont find a lot of it on ebay.

that said if you wanted a kenwood unit at the time you should have asked me ( I also sell kenwood.)

Chris: cheers for the heads up. I bought the unit about 1.5 years ago now, and didn't know your trade back then =-]

I didn't WANT a Kenwood. But out of the lot it seemed the least flashy, the easiest to press buttons and read display, and had some other features I had to have.

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
