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with outdated maps.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week, even though it was a 2004 and quickly outdated.

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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
