I have been looking for a while and my eclipse is starting to frustrate me(when plaing from usb it swithes back to radio when you turn the car off). I am chasing a double din with GPS, DVD & USB playability.

I have seen the Clarion NX509A at soundmaster for $800.

If there is anything better in my price range($800-$1000) please let me know, im about to take the plunge

Thanks for the replies.

I have not found much out there with gps under a grand, all suggestions are welcome.

I have seen the JVC KWAVX746NAV within my budget aswell as a SONY.

I would like to buy one this week.

Ive found my new head unit

Just waiting for it to come in.

Im going a bit above budget with a Blau new york 800.

Thanks for the replies

Yep. I'm in the same situation - I too bought a Blaupunkt NY 800, still waiting for mine too. Spec wise it seems like a pretty cool system.

I have got the new head unit and its installation time..

I opened the box and i think i need a pro. I have done quite a few before but this car is my other baby and i dont want to get it wrong.

If anyone knows a good installer on the central coast (nsw) let me know.

I just need a basic install using existing setup and exchanging my single din for a double din with gps

Head unit and new ecu have been in for a while now and its time to update the front speakers and get a 4 channel amp.

The blau looks the goods but sound is a bit poor

I listen to all types of music from rammsten to radiohead

All the wiring is there from the previous owner so hoping to get a quality sound for about $5-600?

Any advice is welcome and acted apon

      R32 only blows hot air

      By Duncan · Posted

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
