i think he means the AVX11 on Ebay, it's round $600 i think, or the AVX33 it's round $800, of course no warranty in the country if you buy from the US, but i guess it beats paying $1200 in NZ for teh AVX11 and $1800 for the AVX33 :S

Does anyone know what a alpine iva-0300e dvd player is worth, its single din and touch screen, cuz apparently it was 'very expensive' but i did a quick search and didn't think they were that dear. (It came with the car, with all alpine R gear)

i got ebay one got it installed running soundstream splits and rears off it sounds sweet looks great amps and subs soon to come. Its display is very good once running the speakers off the amps it wont really matter if it says JVC pioneer or EBAY BRAND. And it doesnt cost a grand.

Honestly, for the cheap price they are now, I reckon you can't go wrong. Seriously, nowadays, they're 250-300 at max.

Back about 6 months, they used to be 5-600. For 250-300, you can't go wrong. Even a mid range pioneer headunit costs around that at strathfield.

tyaos, not sure what you were saying there. What I meant by you can't go wrong, is that as I said, even a normal headunit (music only) costs around 250+. also, even pioneer etc single din (although they're way better quality) are 1k+. Therefore, for 250, at <1/5 the cost, you can't go wrong - even if it breaks, you can buy another 5 of them for the price

if you want a good dvd touchscreen double din headunit, buy my pioneer AVH6850. its rrp is like 2200 and best price ive seen aorund is like $1700 through JB. get it off me instead for a fraction of the cost coz im working on suspension bits now instead so need the dosh :D btw steer clear from those ebay ones. whats the point of going through 5 decks and 5 times the hassel when you can do it right the first time around. just like playing in the engine bay, put your money in the right place the first time around or u can b blowing out alot more to fix it up later on..

whats the fasination with the number 5 who says one from ebay wont last 5 years. Seriously like 1500-2000$ dvd units from the top name brand all cost the same price to manufacture give or take a little bit so dont kid yourself. You can buy a rolex in bali with the battery that charges itself of your movements for 30 bucks but of corse it isnt a rolex but they can still put that technology in it for like fraction of the cost. make you wonder how can these "big names" charge so much for there product. Anyway the ebay one will work fine just a matter of if you want to be cool and spend 2000 on a pioneer head unit just so you can say ohh mate i have a 2k headunit or you can just spend 350 and be happy because it does all that the pioneer unit does and more. not sure about the output of the pioneer one but who cares i would rather save 1000 bucks

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
