I'm thinking of putting in a new head unit but haven't a clue what is any good out of the seemingly infinite choice out there and taken as a given that 95% of the guts will probably be MIC anyway .

I'm wanting some thing that is easy to opperate when I'm on the move, must have MP3 and USB port at the front, MOFSET and plenty of WRMS.

I would have bought the factory DD six stacker @ $380.00 on special at the local dealers but it had no MP3 capability or USB port.

Clarion used to do a range of single DIN units that were good but they've upgraded if that is actualy the correct term and I'm not sure about the new stuff.

--And not to much money either :D

how much do you wish to spend? $500? (look at the clarion CX609 if that is your budget.)

Thanks for that , looks like a nice thing, I googled and fleebayed this to have a look and found I can get one to my door from the US for a little over AU $ 300.00 including shipping, the question is will a US delivered unit work in Aus ?

:(

sounds like what you are after is a pioneer with a usb port. their mosfet is high and usually they put out about 50 wattts rms per channel, but most head units these days do that

Thanks mate , any particular model ? -- I'll have a sus at Ryda and see if theres anything in the bargain bin :P

I would look for one with bluetooth capability as it kills two birds with one stone on the mobile phone front and if it is Iphone compatible it will let you bluetooth the Ipod function to the HU (if you have one).

I installed a Kenwood unit into the Stagea and Mrs Wolv is happy that is syncs up when she gets in the car and she good to go, no charging up separate BT units.

No doubt other manufacturers have similar units out there for between $250 - $400

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
