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 ;)

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
