Back on topic :nyaanyaa:

I picked up a new steering wheel with stereo controls today to replace my worn original. Immaculate condition, very pleased.

Bought from Osakaparts Online in Haberfield.

Was $200. Which I was happy to pay for how good it is.:thumbsup:

Don't know if I can integrate my head unit, but it was the same price without them...

Well considering a used wheel with BOTH remotes are about $100 USD from fleabay:

They can't be TOO dear..

Although I did pay $75 for mine :sleep:

EDIT: Oops thought we're just talking about the remotes...my bad

i just want the controls, im sure i can just make it work..

shoulda stolen my sisters Steering wheel aswell.. lol

yup need an adaptor to work with all head units (mine included) but the instructions didnt mention that lol

there is an adaptor on ebay for about $120 supporting nissans and most aftermarket head units

if your going an after market headunit it wont work wouldnt it?

My Eclipse is compatible with steering wheel controls as well so there must be a few options out there.

Which Eclipse did you get? AVN726EA?

Yep, that's the one. Put in by previous owner (well he got pro's to do it) & I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it as it's bloody expensive. There's even a sub in the back (same spot as the factory Bose goes - hey, poet & didn't know it :rolleyes: ) & the sound is pretty darn good.

If I was starting from scratch I'd either do a carputer or probably a much cheaper brand double DIN (Chinese fleabay special haha) as I couldn't justify spending that much on something that didn't make the car go faster/handle better/more economical.

Hehe...I understand...

I've got one of those installed in my wife's Mitsi Grandis...not too bad...but I thought the AV side was kinda spartan (no avi/wmv playback via USB, etc) and the BT support was kinda flakey...

the Nav system is pretty sweet though.

Wouldn't have gotten it if i had to pay full price, that's for sure!

I reckon there are much better buys out there, that's for sure. I have mine displaying GPS 98% of the time & playing music from USB or Ipod. I've never tried playing movie files (I guess I can use the TV tuner for that) & I've had similar erroneous performance with BT as well. The other thing is I can't get some DVDs to play because of their menu structure, so it's probably great value for <$700-$800 but otherwise I'd buy something else.

Pretty flash for a people mover tho :happy: .

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
