Yeah just went to JB they had the JVC-S985 for $489. I asked can you do it cheaper. He said $450. I said well you had it for $400 before Xmas (Had no idea if this was true, heh).... then he goes alright $430. And I took it! $60 off and $110 of RRP aint bad for this unit.

Also I was also looking at the next model up the one with the flashy screen and all that bs and he said it wont be as good cause it only outputs 2V preamp whereas the 985 does 4V. Can someone tell me what the difference would be?

Does it mean the amp doesn't have to amplify as much sound?

it means that the RCA level out is carried to the amplifier at 4Volts rather than 2V. Alot of people purchase an Eq (usually about 7Volts) or a Line Driver which does the same thing. The better you get your sound to the amp the better sound you are going to get out... less signal loss=better quality sound.

by the way the salesman failed to mention that the KD-LH2000 (cool graphics) has a 24bit DAC (Digital Audio Converter) this is the highest quality audio converter on the market!!! i notice the difference, some ppls don't. :D

If you go direct to Hagemeyer (the Aust Agent for JVC) you can buy what they call "repacks". My bud has bought a few JVC decks and his current one is an mp3 deck. He paid about $200, in the box, unmarked with all docs & full factory warranty. Hagemeyer are in Alexandria (Sydney) I think.

ACtually the 985 has 24bit DAC as well. Well thats what the box says anyways ;)

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
