Gday guys, after owning an r31 GTS for the last few years and building a turbo r31 pintara wagon, ive taken the reasonably big step accross to the stagea.

i get it on friday, i dont have any pics of it handy but its the white pearl colour and is a '98.

question i have is it has the in dash TV/DVD/tuner/tape thing that doubles as an air con controll touchscreen when u press the aircon button, im curious to know what i can do with this because most of its in japanese, and secondly i dont know if the tv will work or the dvd will accept australian dvd's ?? anyone know anything about this. i fiddled about with it the other day and managed to get sound for a tv station, but i really dont know what i'm doin as i cant read anything other then english. Any ideas people?

Cheers, Alan

Sorry Alan, the best info I can give you is go to a proffessional audio installer and ask them to help out.

Can anyone else here help out?

Either way; mate, how is the Stagea going? Happy with the purchase, looks, performance, etc etc?

Let ppl's know how you go...................

EDIT: oh, and a BIG welcome to you! :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

to play dvd's u need a NTSC to pal converter....unless they are multi region DVD's.

to get the FM station's to work you need a FM convertor.

Both items available from Jaycar l believe, as this is what l've been told l'll need once mine arrives in about 2wks.

Yeah, thats what Id heard about the FM converter (ie thru Jaycar for $22 roughly), but wasnt sure about the DVD side of things......

yeah l can't afford a new head unit atm....so for $22, its the way l'll be going.

at the end of the day l listen to my iriver 90% of the time, only use the radio for the short gym trip in the morning, and to find out the traffic when l leave uni later in the day.

Taking out my full Clarion stereo from my VR V8 BT1 commodore (for sale at bargain price, see the threads, got an offer of $7500 without the stereo but want slightly more!!).

Anyway, that comes out this thursday, so hopefully by next weekend I'll have the amplifier, 6stack CD player, headunit with tapedeck and new door speakers, installed into the Stagea.

As it is, I reckon the door speakers are crud, and the cd player in the current head unit is a waste of time, plus cant listen to FM as I havent installed the converter. Obviosuly not going to bother.

Oi, the $22 figure was a memorized figure, cant quite recall how correct that is, but Im sure thats the amount the FM converter costs from jaycar. Maybe buy the dfa at the same time!!

    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

    • sensible choice....and all 32s should be in yellow
    • Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
    • According to Josh, one of our local Americans, it seems the USA still can't get turbo systems quite right at a lot of places, so possible that they're not running great at all, but they've just not complained as NFI about getting it right...
