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

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
