I have so far purchased many items from the USA as this turns out to be MUCH MUCH cheaper than here in Australia. Head units I've purchased have worked on both frequencies...

Some bargains I've picked up...

Sony CDX-M850MP head unit - Purchased for $550 before it was released here in Australia.

Pioneer DEH-P7500MP head unit - Purchased for $480 rrp of $899 here...used for 3 months and sold for $550.

4 x Rockford Fosgate 401s Amplifiers - Purchased for $240 each ...retail at $699 each here in australia.

ABOUT TO PURCHASE

2 x Alpine 9815 head units at $520 each...rrp of around 1000 here

Best shop I've come across is called EZORDERUSA...

Shipping on head units is usually around $80 australian....

Shipping this place charged me on all 4 amplifiers was around $240 australian..while other shops quoted me prices in excess of $400 ...and I had the amps here in a matter of 2 weeks ...

All u.s. dvd players for cars are region 1. I should know cos I purchased one. Ive sold it in the trading post for little more then i got it which was good cos the buyer was only looking to play U.S music dvd's. hehe lucky. I wouldnt advise purchsing indash lcd/dvd, im now looking to just purchase second hand down here.

I have purchased many items from the US over ebay with no trouble so far.

I bought an Alpine CDA-7897 and it worked fine.

1 thing you do need to watch is that you buy from a dealer in California, otherwise there is a good chance that it will be inspected by customs, you will get charged 10% just for it landing in California, and then you are definatelly charged GST when it hits here.

Oh and by the way Cd player retails 4 $1600 i paid $700 delivered to my door

Yep ive bought the DEH-P850MP for $540 AUD!!! in autobarn and JB they arent PREMIER model in fact they are 8400mp at $1399!! so thats saved me at least $800+ on a model which is better then what they are selling

I also bought a Phoenix Gold 5 Channel Amp 4 X 125 Watt and 1 X 600 W :P for only $420 AUD delivered RRP of $1200 :P

Ebay is the best!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
