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!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
