Got my new head unit fitted today. Ran the cables down the back for 2 reverse cameras but ran out of time to fit them. Everything works well but it doesn't pick up the Bluetooth obd reader. Not sure if it's faulty. Plug obd into missus car and it saw it for a second then couldn't find again.

Finally a relief to have music to listen to while going to work

The Head unit I want for my car is $999 from Pioneer...and JB's don't sell it so I can't even staff price it. Everything is on hold at the moment anyway.


Maybe I can return the favour, @shoey84 now works at Autobarn and they sell Pioneer, I can get it at staff from them for you!

If they have it, wouldn't mind  a quote on the "AVH-Z7050BT" Not planning on buying ASAP, but it's on the list.

Got fibre to node nbn connected today with a new router. Hooked it all up and it actually worked? Amazing for telstra. 49.01 Mbps download 31.82 Mbps upload. Madness. Thanks Kevin 747. Got my t.v., ps3, ps4, t-box and foxtel hooked up to the lan running a rj8 cable through the roof down to a powered splitter. All devices are running a similar speed. All the wife and kids systems are running Wi-Fi and getting 20mbps down 9mbps up. Insane!

Coilovers wont help tramping, too stiff a coilover and low profile tyres dont mix. More side wall = better traction but reduces lateral loading. Less side wall = worse traction but better lateral loading. Then u have to think contact patch, right width for right power.

I went for 245/17/40's to give it a bit more side wall. The xr8 has 245/19/30's. The tramping goes away at 28psi but comes back around 32psi. The contact patch looks horrible at 28psi and will kill the inside of the tyres. If I go up to 36psi it's just full wheel spin? The Bridgestone guy reconds to run 40psi in the falcon and it loves it. Steers spins and squats pretty nice. My mate Dave is coming over Saturday so I'll get him to take it for a spin and see what he thinks. His mustang just squats and fries at any speed in second. Bombed 351 Windsor, manualised c10, 9" with 3:95s. No power anything except for the motor;-)

My wife has a windows 8 phone. I fitted a Sony Bluetooth head unit to the falcon with a mic up behind the front sun visor. Bought a kit of eBay. It still utilises all the steering wheel controls and only uses the Sony as a replacement head control unit. Works perfect with the phone. Contacts, calls, streaming, etc. We replaced 2 x ford 6 x disc units from the factory and it kept on eating discs and malfunctioning. It's Been in for over a year and no probs. She loves it. Ford has a reasonable factory system with a 8" sub in the rear parcel shelf and splits in the front. Happy times. Made me look good for once!

The Sony in the Ford recognises my experia instantly on entry in drive mode so as soon as I get in it connects automatically. The Bluetooth unit in the d-max does the same. I listen to a old time radio app to and from work which I download the stories at home from. CBS radio mystery theatre. Told you guys I was fully old:-(

The old alpine head unit in the Nissan has a dodgy touch screen so I bought the remote off ebay for $15.00 is cool to listen to DVDs on it. You know because I never watch the screen while driving. Opeth, iron maiden, Metallica etc. Dolby dig and dts.

Wtf. Chip on her shoulder, my last name is grimshaw. Tracy grimshaw arrested for causing a massive accident by cutting the brake lines on a car someone has sunk 30 grand into like she is a mob boss. In cahoots with the guy from a current affair who was arrested for? You know what. Scum

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
