Hey guys just wondering if anyone has installed one of these or similiar ebay units in their cars. Would be keen on seeing some pics specifically for r32. more importantly want to see if the screen sits flush with the stereo surround. cause my mates brother has one in his commowhore and it sticks out a few centimeters from the socket. which would probably shit me after a while. any input guys.

RUN AWAY VERY QUICKLY!!!!

those last about 3 -4 weeks before they die a very sudden death.

y is that? just shithouse piece of electronics? it doesnt look 2 bad... then again... the price is pretty cheap

put it this way when someone on ebay releases a new all in one box I get swamped wit requests. so I fit one, lasts 3-4 weeks before something in the unit dies. that also includes the one above-and yes I fit this stuff for a living

Hey man. ok first of all i have a r32 , which you was looking for to fit the unit in. second i agree there are Some deck's on eBay that are shit. but at the same time as everything goes do your research and you can find something that is decent and will work. ok i came to this decision. i have a double din dvd/tv/mp3/vcd/usb 7 inch touch screen head unit. if you are interested i will get some photos for you and send them to you so that you can see what it looks like.. More important, if your buying from eBay look for a brand called eonon, and also read the sellers feedback, its 98% or so. i bought the manual open one, instead of the electronic face that is adjustable, this was because some people stated that if you have hard bass constantly it can throw out the mechanism gear causing it to get jammed. However, i bought the manual face but my friend with a 99 WRX bought the electronic face. Both decks are going fine and none of them have still once arrived with a problem yet. i have had mine for about 6 months now and my mate for about 5 months. i installed both the decks myself. and they are straight forward like every other deck. The deck also can have reversing cameras connected to it and more screens. But that’s your preference. Hope this helps and if you would like some photos just pm me and I’ll be glad to help..

Have a good one man

Hey mate, yeh some pics would be great if you can email them to [email protected] that would be great. I have been looking at a few brands for quite a whilte and the eonon seems to be one of the more popular ones. Does your one have the input for usb/sd card on the top when you release the screen? cause thats what makes my mates one stick out on the commowhore so to access the inputs on the top.

I've had 2 of those brand screens in my R32 - they bolt straight in using the standard brackets

I have attached a picture below for you - Just to add they work awesome for the price and picture quality and sound quality is very good

I paid $250 delivered for mine and it plays all formats, only feature it doesn't have is touch screen and I got non touch screen purposely as people leave there little finger prints all over the screen

No worries man - the only thing I don't like about my one is that it sticks out a little but thats becase the face folds down and also beacuse you can attach a USB drive or insert an SD on the to of the screen

You can get flush sitting ones but you will need to pay a little more $ for that

These cheap screens do the job but and still look great

Bit of an update, bought one of these decks for pretty cheap so gonna give it ago. Now i just bought some clarion amps to run my speakers/sub but i just realised that the deck only has one set of rca leads, well its got two but one is input other output. What can i do to run both amps? use a rca splitter? would that decrease quality sound? or should i just go for a nice deck instead?

got one in my r34. sound quality is insanely crappy. get massive pop through the amps when i turns it on. screen goes jumpy every time i eject a cd. if you are expecting crappy quality (and you should for how much they are worth) then they are fine. i got one expecting it to be crappy but its just a temporary solution until i have the $2500 i need to build the carpc setup i want.

hey i got pretty much the same one as this except mine is touch screen..theyre not bad but only prob with mine is that the clip to push it open broke so now when i floor it the screen drops down lol but im used to it now..and it came with the car when i bought it so it doesnt bother me

Thanks for the replys guys. Yeh i wasnt expecting top of the range for the price i got it, but the functionality is what sold me. How did you guys go about running two amps of it? Would love to get a nice brand name one for round 1000, but just spent 1000 on clarion gear. might end up just selling this one and buying a nice headunit with multiple rca outs.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
