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!

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
