My GTST has a Pioneer Carrozzeria sound system (TV, GPS capability, Tape, Radio and Mini-Disc stacker), but after speaking with Pioneer, they don't have a converter for AUS TV stations.

Does anyone know if you can sell these back to Japan? Is there someone around that would buy this? Pioneer said that this system retails as $4200! Everything bar the TV is working, it even has 2 GPS/Street Directories for Japan in it!!!

My R33 has the same Carrozzeria stuff. Pioneer wont help you, its Japanese domestic equipment. My TV works but its terrible reception can only just get channel 9. My headunit works ok, (low FM radio range though). The TV has an AV input so you can connect an external unit/device to it. Mine actually has two. It's a TV-XP7 with a controller unit just below the glove box, behind the carpet. Check if yours has one. If you find the controller box there'll inputs for

4 x Attennas (Single wire 3.5mm plugs)

1 x Sat Nav input (bizzaro plug)

1 x RCA Video IN

2 x RCA Audio IN (Left n Right)

1 x Main output to Screen (Another bizzaro plug)

The screen is NTSC and requires an NTSC input signal. I tested this with a Pioneer home DVD player and connected it via RCA and it worked fine, depsite it being a PAL (Aus) DVD Player. Ill look at getting a car dvd player and trying that. Maybe a cheap Viscom DVD/VCD/Mp3 Player

Thanks guys for your imput. NAM's Electronics in Sydney said that they can convert the whole system to PAL for around $1100, and apparently they've done it before...

PaulR33, thanks mate for info, I'll check my system out tonite.

This unit also has a 12 disc stacker (Pioneer P1200) which, Pioneer said isn't standard with the Carrozzeria model, but I can hook it up to any of the Pioneer "P" series head units... Pity I just bought a new Alpine MP3 player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers guys,

Kyran.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
