Hi All,

another question about my stagea. i am not sure what stereo options were available in japan for the 260RS when it was sold. I found a massive bundle of wires that started behind the stereo and ran all the way to the boot of the stagea and ended tucked into the left side of the car (LHS rear wheel area). connected to nothing at either end, but it seems there was a cd stacker behind the left boot trim, now just empty space.

When it arrived here it had been decked out with aftermarket system, AddZest (Clarion). It had the DVD Head unit with slideout screen and hideaway box/receiver, 5.1 surround component and TV Tuner.

I have managed to get most things working fine however 2 things are left that are bugging me. The radio tuner's range is not expanded and i wanted to know what i have to do to expand it to tune all australian radio stations.

Also, how do i receive TV signals/channels in australia (melbourne). Does it have anything to do with the FM expander? or is it something else entirely? Can anyone help me understand what is required to get the TV Tuner (Addzest/Clarion) box to display. All i get is static when i try to find a signal.

If its the tuner from japan it wont work here. It is a different system. Replace it with an aussie one and feed that into your screen. You can still use the aerials that were connected to it and it has nothing to do with a band expander. If you want to expand your radio you need an FM band expander with the 2 pins and it plugs in line with your radio antenna and is powered up by ACC.

Awesome much appreciated. i thought as much about the tv tuner but i couldnt find anything to tell me otherwise. Does it have to be a Clarion unit? or any tv tuner?

Thanks heaps for the info it all makes much more sense now

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
