What's the go with the radios in these? I can't tune anything over 90.0 - aftermarket mod required here or a setting I haven't noticed?

Shouldn't need to.

Just tune and listen to identify the station, then assign it to a memory preset number.

Can't you just fold down the rear seats to fit both dogs (that way they can both hang their heads out the windows)?

The shepherd is a security dog and when someone riles him up he'll redirect his frustration to my seats as he knows I won't release him (as I am obviously not there) unless he is caged. We rile him up intentionally at training and without fail if I leave my car with him in it some moron knocks on the window.

That and the Husky is aggressive so they can't be together.

Shouldn't need to.

Never thought of doing that.

I found where ABC local radio is and JJJ so I don't need any other stations but was curious.

Thanks.

if its a dealer they are obliged to repair problems. thats part of getting a dealer licence!

Oh, that's strange.. Have bought two imports in two states, neither has had a working CD, but both had working radio and tape. Neither unit was fixed under warranty, but both cars had other items replaced such as milometer and items needed for Vic RWC.

maybe its a NSW thing. my car went back for small things, but the car was brought into the country like that. its a dealer warranty and in NSW its trouble for them if they dont fix things - within reason of course. and anything that is reported but not fixed and is still a problem. even outside that 3 months warranty they should fix it. thats the problem im having with where i got my car from. that said i only threatened legal problems for them and they backed down and have agreed to have a 3rd party repair the car.....

The guys I got it from actually said to me as I was taking it "If anything isn't working bring it back and we'll fix it" - I only just remembered, so I guess if I took it back they'll fix it regardless but like I said, mine was working when I took it as I listened to a cd on the way home.

as I have been saying run the thing past here! I fix them! (the radio.) as for the F3 code - laser or drive gear to laser or spindle motor. the all stuff up in some way shape or form. if its a warranty item with GS (and they cover it) tell them to send the car here and I'll fix it. easy. as for the FM band thats correct - 76.0-90.0. I'm working on a retuned solution for them but for now a band expander fixes it.

shoot me a PM if you do not follow or have a question :P

Thanks Chris.

I'll contact GS tonight/tomorrow and find out. I need you to install cruise control & an alarm into it in a few weeks so will hopefully get it done at the same time if they want to cover it and ditto to the band expander - I can get JJJ but I want ABC local radio which unfortunately is 90.3 :P

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
