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: .

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
