The face plate as in.... not the TV itself.. that came totally intact.

But the plate that will go around the actual unit that will hide the gap between the dash and the unit itself. if ya get what I mean?

(I got it for the price I did because it was the working sample at JB, and the last one there. A small price to pay for over 50% off!)

I don't think they come with one man... just got the last one in the chatswood jb and it didn't come with one either... so either they don't come with one or jb has f*%d us both over...

I should get you to come do my bargaining for me next time... i only managed to get them down to $845... you've done extrememly well...

Let me know what your running off it and how it performs... need some decent advice on speakers and amp...

I'm not really an expert in car audio.. but, my mate and I went down to JB and had a gander. I ended leaving with:

JL Splits (front)

Alpine mono-block amp

12" pioneer sub w/ box (looking into making custom box - eventually)

Wiring kit

and the JVC double din unit.

All for around $1600, initially it was $1800.

A few people have criticised me for not staying with the one brand, but in the end they all complimented each other and works well.

Both budget and performance came into play (in that particular order), and so far I'm pretty stoked at the quality sound that's coming out.

The rear speakers were replaced with some older JL's, nothing fancy. So I'm assuming with some better speakers at the rear that, compliment the setup, it should be pretty sweeeet!

I guess its not THAT bad.. it's not the grand canyon or anything, but in the installation guide that I downloaded (it didn't come with one, or the instructions, but readily available on the internet), it pointed out that a plate should be included for the installation in NISSAN cars.

Now I'm just interested in what difference it could make!

What about from a plastics supplier? They do cash sales to the public normally. Do you cut it with a jigsaw and clean up the edges with a bit of filing?

possibly. I use a knife and score it. jigsaw will leave a molten mess on the edges. I usually do not need to file it. if I do I use a deburring tool.

I have never seen them with one. I tend to make them as needed. how gappy is it?

Chris, you say you make these? Mine is a little gappy too... particularly at the bottom where it must be close to 5mm give or take...

If I wanted you to make me one them what would it cost and what is the best way to do it if I am in Sydney and you are up north? Can you do it if i give you a few photos or is it a bit of a precision job? How do you make the thing stay there? Some type of clip...??

show me a pic of yours assenbled. I may be able to make a suggestion or two.

ok. tat face drops out so what ever is made will have to go on the unit. thing being I CANNOT make something like that fit perfectly from an image. wasn't sure what you had. same problem exists with a alpine version. really need the car in front of me to make it fit neatly.

yeah no problem... thought that might be the case anyway... i will get in contact with JVC because as STAR33 pointed out, the list of included components says there should be a faceplate included... cheers chris :cheers:

yeah I've looked on ebay and all that, but couldn't find anything.

On the net I could find installation kits, but they're in America and it comes with soo much more than we need.

I'll try get in contact with JVC. I'll give them a little 'fist to face' payments.. hahah.. nah.

Perhaps they offer some sort of replacements?

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
