Like many others who buy imports you find yourself stuck with a JDM stereo that is no

good for local conditions. Won't play local DVDs, unusable Navi, FM stage wrong, etc.

Advice on this forum was to "bin it". But I had it all removed and took pictures, and

sent them to a japan auction buying service. They listed it on yahoo in Japan and handled

any queries. It sold yesterday for 85,000 yen which is money for old rope as far as I

was concerned. I sent it express (cost $120) and the service is going to rebox, and send

domestically to the lucky buyer who will probably get it inside a week. They charged 10%

for this service. I'll probably get $1300 out of the whole exercise. It was a 2004 model, btw,

with outdated maps.

Anyway, there you go. If you know the model number of your stereo you can easily do

a search to see if items are being listed and what they are getting bid to or what buy-now

price is on them. For older/simpler units it not be worth it but I know some people

have had cars with similar units to the one I just sold - flip out screen, hard disc, navi,

that kind of thing - so my advice is to check before you "bin it"!

what site did you look on....? I have a full Pioneer Cozzorria set up, head unit, under seat surround sound thingo, GPS, DVD player, screen and harddrive that I wanted to shift, who did you contact?

I'll send you a PM, because I'm not sure they want to deal with random people

asking them to shift stuff that is unlikely to sell. If you can't find your model listed

already on auctions.yahoo.co.jp by others, it might be a dead end.

The one I had there are always about half a dozen or more units listed any day of the

week, even though it was a 2004 and quickly outdated.

what about the single din one? just tape, no cd

nope only after those and V35 ones. I'm hacking a carozzerria avic now (with a local unit.) so I may at some stage grab another. dont offer them to me..

I've got one of those double din's (tape/cd) if it's wanted/needed?

Chris, with the ipod control, is that utilised via the cd stacker function?

In turn choose 'disc1' for ipod 'playist1', 'dics2' for ipod 'playlist2' and so on.

Or does it just play the the songs sequentually and/or randomly from start to finish.

I've got the Clarion DR9675z which is about 10 years old now, bought the clarion ipod control (cenet)

unit about 1 year ago, and it just uses the ipod like a cd stacker, just name my playlist Clarion1, Clarion2 etc... Basically brought my functionality up to date with current model units.

I was wrapped with this...good thinking Clarion to maintain their cenet standard across various units over the years.

p.s. Does the navi unit have any touch screen functionality? Thinking of purchasing one as to integrate with a car pc.

it is. its not C NET though. N bus is what these things run. the ipod lead is a aftermarket lead. same idea as the EA1251/79 that you have.

regarding navi - ring me.

Ahh yeah.. simple enough.

Will send a pic through tonight of my unit, im at work presently.

Just clicked on your link, having a look at your website now, will give you a call during the week.

Cheers Chris :D

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
