You shouldn't have any trouble with the FM band, that's the same as far as I've seen.

The AM band wont work though, they have a 10kHz spacing between tuning points, we have 9kHz. Depends on what you want to listen to I guess!

Some digital stereos can be reprogrammed to suit the different specifications, not sure which ones (but generally high-end).

then again, some of the high end HU's have frequency adjustments such as the Pioneer series. I had one, and I think it had a 9Hz - 10Hz adjustment. It was one of those Pioneer 6350's

So yeah, who listens to AM anyway?? :cheers:

the biggest problem with buying headunits from America is the importing. You MUST check if the buyer will ship to Australia (use air freight or you will be waiting over a month.)

Also if there is a problem with the headunit, chances are no company in Australia will cover it with warrenty and you might have to sent it back to the US.

Also watch out for the importing taxes and charges. Apart from that only the AM band is effected :)

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
