Glad my car came with an $1800 head unit lulz. Control iPhone from the screen = huge win. Watch Christina Milian music videos while driving = huge win. $1800 with ridiculous functionality and they give you no external next/prev track buttons to use when the screen is closed = massive f**king fail. I bought a remote just so I could have said buttons when screen is closed :(

That's retarded. Mine is a double din and doesn't close. Has touch buttons and real buttons too. RRP $2500 lol. Got it so much cheaper.

thats not worth braggin about cos we would have just bagged you if you did pay $2500 aka RRP for anything, who pays RRP for anything other than essentials coles etc.

coathanger man, they work better if you shape them like asutralia too

It's shaped like a cock & balls courtesy of my teammates...Female cop complimented me on it once...

Word. Anyone who pays retail for anything, ESPECIALLY car audio/home electronics etc, is a muppet.

yeh bad man, my sister hates 'haggling' im like its not haggling like your some stinge its negotiating and completely acceptable i got a full grand off my watch most people would walk in and be like yeh ok ill take it.. jokes on your idiots!

always ask for a deal worst they say is no and you say oh wel cant blame me for asking

I got lucky with mine. I originally had a $2000 unit (which I payed a lot less than that for too) and it f**ked up twice so Pioneer gave me the next model up for free :)

I could sell it now and make profit.

Years ago when I was waiting for my car to get here from Japan, I bought a full stereo setup for it....Got prices of all the shit I wanted off ebay (brand new from reputable stores), then went into JB, asked what the best price they can do me on each part is...Most of them were cheaper than the ebay prices (which were already way less than RRP), head-unit from memory was at least $700 off the ticket price too...The markups on that shit are crazy

markups on everything are crazy bullshit!

i bet you have saved a heap on furniture an shit to ay dezz just gotta shop around and ask for a deal, even more so these days retail is bleeding they need the business

Yeah but a $3000 is going to have some good quality components, pre-amps etc. (like mine, sounds incredible). All the extra features are great too of course. I love surround sound for DVDs, GPS and a ridiculous amount of control in regards to sound settings, illumination colour etc.

I could never go back to a normal headunit now.

Why? Girls love that shit. If they get bored on long trips I chuck on a movie for them to watch. My family loves it too. Shuts mum up.

You seem real hung up on doing shit to impress women...

which brings me to your avatar...The only thing lamer than photos of money, are photos of money with f**k all money in them.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
