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?

Plus alpine units have a little switch on them which let's you select your freq :)

They haven't told me what discounts are avail cos I have not made contact with them yet..

I would rather say hey. I got this this this and this person wanting this that and this. What can you do for me.

:)

And please. Check try your work.. You will soon learn how the Australian supply chain is killing local business :P

... But killing local business or not. I can't know that unit for 400 delivered!!!

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 :)

suck it Blizzerd. haha enjoy NZ!!!!

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

after delving a bit further into things - i'm going to have to call this thing off guys. sorry! just seems too touch n go and i dont want to be held responsible should sh1t hit fans...

i have a sneaking suspiscion that this sonic electronix mob are actually indoaudio with a new name...

for what it's worth - i'm still going to get my head unit from them... i just dont want to risk getting a huge order in case these guys stuff it up - too riskay.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
