Hey everyone

Looking at getting a new stereo in near future.. Looking at importing an alpine head unit from the USA..

I'm looking at the alpine w407... It's a double DIN unit that's iPod/mp3 only, 7inch touch screen does not take CDs

Plays movies music all media etc via your iPod.. Syncs up to browse file etc..

Also can use the unit to answer / hang up calls on your mobile via blueteeth

Can also buy a plug n play maps adaptor and use GPS too

Great unit only drawback is doesn't take CDs.. But then again I like that cos means no more bloody CDs scattered all over your dash/glovebox/floor.

ANYWAY I can get the unit for about 400 delivered.. Which is a ripper price with our exchange rate.

This unit is 4x this price to buy locally.. And is a special order..

Question is: do YOU want one too? That way we can divide shipping a bit or possibly negotiate a discount on the unit...

Just so you know.. This will come from sonic electronics and you get up to 30 bucks worth of install equipment.. Which is usually the adaptor kit and the cute little outside frame.. Plus the wiring harness too..

There is a total of six. Anybody want in? Mods if this is in wrong section let me know... Didn't want to put it in for sale section cos... I'm not selling anything.

This one here? ph34r.gif Prices look pretty good at a glace, but let me check what price I can get them for through work, as I'm looking for a full system. Have they told you what kinds of discounts they'll offer on postage if we get a few or a full system even?

Hey mate, I have this unit and I bought mine from overseas, just so u know if you want to play video on your head unit its not like the other head units where u just wire it to earth, it needs you to have your foot on t he brake and the handbrake up lol.

BUt let me kow if u want details around this, I can link u the part u need to buy, its pretty cheap, I got one, but have not fitted it yet..

Also what price have u got on the GPS unit ? I would be interested if you can find this cheaper with Aussie maps :)

okay to all reading this thread - this is now a casual bulk order for sonic-electronics.

bulk order will hereby be open to SAU doods that i approve of. if i dont like you. you canot get in on the group buy. what of it.

terms of making this order are:

register your interest between NOW and umm. i'll make it Tuesday next week. once that's done - i'll have a "shopping list" to buy.

i tell ebay seller "i want this stuff. whats your best price you can do"

i work out a deal. then we divide the shipping. and get our stuff soon. it gets delivered to me. and you pick it up / we meet at galleria carpark one night. bring peanut butter please.

PAYMENT:

for you guys YOUR SHARE will be direct deposited into my bank account. and i'll make the transaction. i won't make any money off you, don't worry!

you have from NOW until the 19th to express your orders. and will have until thursday next week (21st) to make payment

if you dont make payment on time - tough tits get shagged we're not friends anymore.

http://stores.ebay.com/Sonic-Electronix-Store

that's the link to the store.

if mods see fit - they can now move it to for sale section... and... if they REALLY see fit they can also delete this thread becuase it's "not an approved group buy" sooooo yeah.

one love.

remember. it's just a casual order for cool dudes so that we can take advantage of the current currency rates. its NOT a group buy, and NOT a money making opportunity for me.. i'm PURELY doing this so you guys can have some cheap doof doof.

again

http://stores.ebay.com/Sonic-Electronix-Store

thats the store.

bear in mind - postage will be divided evenly. ie - if you buy a single DIN head unit - you wont be charged as much postage as say... a guy buying three 15" subs

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
