Head unit wont work in Australia...with radio at least, unless you get an FM expander, but then its a bitch becaue its like, 80.3 is nova and stations are expanded 10 or 20 Mhz depending which channel is free...confusing to say the least, but if you do your presets, it works out all good.

Yeah thats what l was planning on doing to start with. I don't listen to the radio that much, more to my iriver (with fm transmitter)....radio gets biggest work out when l go to the drive in with the gf.

We'll see how things go, l like the new JVC range......might go window shopping this weekend!! :( Esp after seeing how much needs to be done to get the dash pieces off.....if l've gotta take it all out, l might as well get a new head unit at the same time.

Anyone put one of those cooler kits from just jap on their stagea??

if so how were the results, as in did the piping all match up fine for the stagea??

Don't know whether to get one, or just leave the stock cooler there coz of front bar & space behind it (as l don't really want to hack up the kit)

It should come with splits already, I used pioneers kevlar speakers and splits. They fit nicly and the splits are hidden where the original ones were on the sides near the front window.

Rear doors I used 6.75" 250W

EDIT: I got mine on ebay saved heaps. 6.25 or 6.75 like mine both will fit anyway. Small adjustments are no big deal with bigger speakers to get them to fit.

The pioneer's the 6.25" one's???

I'm thinking about a set of Hertz HSK165's for the front, and ESK165's for the rear, just wanna make sure they fit first in the factory positions. Hiding the amp will be the biggest hurdle at this stage l think

I went one step further and built a custom 2 x 10" sub box plus Amp in the boot. a bit dodgy using just a jigsaw, but i covered it in similar carpet to the wagon and it looks like a bought one. I had pics on here of it, but they've gone walkabouts, i'll get some new ones.

I didn't lose too much boot space, and it fits under the lugage cover, so no crims can spot it.

Wierd question l know.....but

With no. plate mounting, which screw hole's do u use (ie: the outer one's, or the inner one's)

and do slimline plates at the back look alright???

and finally the car reach's brissy on monday, so only a couple of weeks (2-3 l'd guess) to go and l'll have it!! :blink::D

Worst thing is it won't be in time for the melb meet up :)

*rant*

Some theiving bastard on the ship stole my head unit & dvd player.

Got told today by ernie, did a good job too, no scratch's anywhere, so could tell they had the time to do it right (nice of them :D )

So now, l have to start looking for a head unit & dvd player by the looks of things. Glad they sent me the TV monitor & remote, least one part is there

*end rant*

Oh, but good thing is its being worked on now for compliance!! Yeah!!

Man thats a right royal bitch. That'd suck...... can transit insurance cover that?

Im having 4 x 250w Pioneer 6inch speakers put into the doors this Friday, with my Clarion head unit installed. The amp will be installed underneath my drivers seat and the 6-stack CD player will be bolted under the front passengers seat.

The subwoofer box will be strapped down in the back, but set up for a quick and easy release and removal. I love my bass, so the sub becomes part of the car.

Fact is, the standard speakers are crap, and dont cut the mustard. Even on AM band with talking there is a heap of vibration etc. Nasty stuff.......

Not sure on insurance covering it....we're talking to them atm, not looking great though. Even if l get say 3-400 i'll be happy as that will get me a decent head unit.

Oh nice bout the speakers, l have some type-r splits & type-r coax's ready to go in, just working out what amp l'll go, as l'm not sure whether to put it under the passenger seat or in the boot.

oooooh.....and my custom plates were ordered on monday....:) :)

For your info, my complete install, with 4 new $130 speakers, installing head unit and facia panel, and bolting the 2 items under the 2 front seats, will be $650 to $700. Full days labour included.

Edit: $120 each, on special. The speakers are Pioneer TS-A1681S, 260w, 16cm diameter x 57mm mounting depth. 4-way with tweeter & 'Supertweeter'. :lol: Meant to be great with BASS

Thats not a bad price. I think l might need a new facia plate if l find a dvd/cd player combo unit as opposed to going one of each.

I've got a few friends who are in that industry, so l'm only up for the cost of a slab, a couple of pizza's and a night in the garage helping out!! :)

NRGIZD, that sucks dude...

I will be posting up my rant about this same thing in a few weeks time...I'm pretty positive my screen will be taken :P Oh well not much we can do about that....

But on a positive note, we are getting my car moved to Osaka, where it will hopefully be gettin on a ship October 20th :P

Hey cool.....how did it look??? Damn l'm getting excited now....not long to go!!

Yeah don't hold your breathe bout your tv bro, according to my rep over there, it's happening more and more now, and it doesn't matter what liner it is on.

He (my rep) actually sent me via post my TV & remote, so at least l had that. Might be worth your while talking to your importer about getting stereo items taken out (or at least face plates) and sent to you via reg. mail.

NRGIZD, what dock's was yours at in Japan? :P

Just had a talk to the broker then and he said while they can get it taken out, it will be getting shipped through Kiwi Car Carriers, which means I automatically have shipping insurance...when the car arrives at Osaka, all items will be logged, when it arrives in Australia, if it is not in the same condition or does not meet the initial report from Japan, they will give me money :P

I'm assuming thats what you have aswell NRGIZD?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
