got one for the golf too during their Black Friday sale thing. lol @ local shops, even with their christmas sale couldn't match it.

Only sucky part is that the US uses some homo Digital Radio frequency, whereas Australia uses a good quality frequency with a higher sample rate... which means buying digital radio tuners from the US isn't gonna work :(

I still use CDs :P If I plug my iPhone in it tends to go flying whenever I take a corner quickly.

So it's never actually flown then?

I've got a stack of SD cards, picked up 20 512mb ones for like $20 off fleabay. They're slow class 1 or 2 SD's but fuck, all they do is hold MP3's. Takes up little space and easy as to put music onto and you can leave it in your car.

That way I have a different SD for different genres etc.

well turns out the cd player will work as long as the FM frequency is in the Australian frequency range of 87.9MHz - 107.9MHz it'll be fine and this one is

apparently the AM is shit but no one listens to it anyway

of course, but its regular payments so financially the ghd would be a better long term solution.

wtf? homo

How did you survive this long without any of those? I mean, stock suspension for superior acceleration, but no hicas lock or sways? them's cheap easy first mods mang.

peasant frequency FM is fine, US and AU are the same. US Digital Radio is different to AU Digital Radio tho, just like them backward nga's are still running around with CDMA phones in half the country while we're cruising mad 3G's.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
