good point. NSW state series has been on a few times, but they want $40k+ per round to televise it (12 minutes).

Aus GT and Aus Prod cars will have most rounds televised on either oneHD, 7 mate or SBS/speedweek. Aus GT was on the other day from Phillip Island including the Merc SLS, Vipers, Lambos, Porkers. They are worth watching ;)

Yeah, that's a series I want to watch.

hmm... seems the best place is on Pay TV (SPEED) :(

Aus GT Bathurst covered in 30mins on 7Mate? Man, takes me back to when Touring Cars were briefly covered on a late Sunday arvo with Sandy Roberts giving the breakdown.

Which is why we talk to a lot of series about webcasting. It's cheaper and can provide more of a connection to the fans. But you don't get the casual viewers so much, concentrates on the hardcore.

Hey all, just wanted to throw this out there & get some reviews.

Thinking of purchasing the Clarion VZ400A head deck with 7" flip screen & a heap of features, the local audio shop has it discounted for $549. RRP around $799

Check it out here, let me know what you think.

Cheers

I have one of those, so I can help you.

What did you want to do with it? I have two issues with mine...

When the iPod is connected via USB I can't use AV-IN

After having issues, I've now found out you need a special video cord to watch video on the iPod

That's pretty much it. Other than that its pretty good and integrates everything pretty well. I'm fairly happy with it, but those two issues give me the shits.

Well they kindof have the idea right.......... just need to make it little bit longer.... and a little bit flatter... COME ON NISSAN!!! :D

pretty sure this is going to be a production mini-SUV from one of the various source (s)

Yeah saw the other thread in the motoring section. I don't actually think it's that ugly, but I Also don't know how big it is... are we talking GTiR MkII or Murano?

only you would want that mental image in your head..

you gay light blue fairy lol

lol, nice try but as I've told you before I can control what I envision mentally... thankfully.

Just because I think it, doesn't mean I see it.

And before you say it, no I didn't and no I won't. :laugh:

I'm pretty sure they stated it's going to be based on the Quashqi or whatever it's called overseas, which is what we see here in Australia as the Murano.

Isn't Quashqi called Dualis here? So like a hatchback a bit bigger than a Tiida, except on stilts?

I dont have an iPod(yet) so no prob there. I've just been after a flip screen for a while & this seemed to be a decent option for the $$$. I liked the fact that I can sinc my phone with it.

For the Nismo awesome club- Not really an ideal fitment, but better than stock. good if your std height. Cheap too!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
