As the title says, I'm dishing out a total of $1000 for a new audio system in my R34 Non-turbo Coupe. This is a part I want in it, a Pioneer DEH-8350SD headunit, replace all the speakers in my car with new ones and finally install a new subwoofer (doesn't need to be massive). All this will be installed by a professional.

What speakers and subwoofer fit into the price range of my budget?

Is the Pioneer DEH-8350SD able to control iPhone 4 in the actual headunit itself or do I have to use my iPhone to change the music?

How much is fitting and are there any suggestions for who can do it in Victoria? Or should I just go to Autobarn?

Finally, if I want to buy a new car, can I remove these parts and replace them with my stock parts and transfer the new parts to my new car? (Thinking of changing to a turbo in 3 years time)

Any suggestions / help appreciated!

Thanks!

I don't understand.. your other thread you stated a mere 8 days ago that you have spent all your money and couldnt afford the 2k for the aus replacement of your equipment.. Now you have 1k already.. maybe wait another 8 days and you can make your car look factory and work awesome..

Well $2000 is too much for me to spend, I work two part time jobs and I really don't want to spend that much on an N/A car as I'll be upgrading to a turbo in three years time. I guess screw the speakers and subwoofer then, I'll just get the headunit so I can actually play SOMETHING in my car -_-

Ok Grey,

i'm not joining on the flaming, but Beast is right, keep saving, "Do it right the first time" don't waste money fiddeling at the back and setteling for peices of shit as you will Need to replace them in the future, and the money you already spent will be for nothing.

Secondly, to get a Sub to work you need an amp, a Good one at the least will cost $300+ , it doesn't sound important but it's probally the difference between a GTR and a N/A in the audio world.

Keep Saving and maybe for the time being sound GHEY and stupid but maybe an ipod, and a dock if you have one?,,,

I managed to get a full sony sound system for 1k, came with headunit (ipod compatable and USB dock), 6.5 splits, 6x9 3 ways. 12" sub in box and mono amp. and wiring kit. i got it threw wow sight and sound (not avalable in southen states to my knowlage). but if you look around, say autobarn, jb hifi, stafild. you might come accross a complet package for something close to your budget. and installing isn't hard. theri should be a few threads in the DIY/ fab sections on how to install radio gear. Just rember to keep your old stuff for when you wona change back.

It wouldn't be that hard if his car had provision for a DIN headunit. In another of his threads, it's established that he has the model with the different climate control unit, and the pop-up screen option - which means he's going to need to source the appropriate parts to convert it to a regular double-din slot & the regular climate control unit before doing anything:

All of this means that he's unlikely to get what he wants for $1000 or less - especially if he needs someone else to do all the work.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
