Glad my car came with an $1800 head unit lulz. Control iPhone from the screen = huge win. Watch Christina Milian music videos while driving = huge win. $1800 with ridiculous functionality and they give you no external next/prev track buttons to use when the screen is closed = massive f**king fail. I bought a remote just so I could have said buttons when screen is closed :(

That's retarded. Mine is a double din and doesn't close. Has touch buttons and real buttons too. RRP $2500 lol. Got it so much cheaper.

thats not worth braggin about cos we would have just bagged you if you did pay $2500 aka RRP for anything, who pays RRP for anything other than essentials coles etc.

Word. Anyone who pays retail for anything, ESPECIALLY car audio/home electronics etc, is a muppet.

I got lucky with mine. I originally had a $2000 unit (which I payed a lot less than that for too) and it f**ked up twice so Pioneer gave me the next model up for free :)

I could sell it now and make profit.

Years ago when I was waiting for my car to get here from Japan, I bought a full stereo setup for it....Got prices of all the shit I wanted off ebay (brand new from reputable stores), then went into JB, asked what the best price they can do me on each part is...Most of them were cheaper than the ebay prices (which were already way less than RRP), head-unit from memory was at least $700 off the ticket price too...The markups on that shit are crazy

And in the end none of it, bar the headunit, even came out of the box...Sold it all and think I ended up making money on some of it, and that was a year or 2 after I bought it all

Having a screen etc won't increase the sound quality of the music...

If it's a show car then obviously it's gonna have TV's n shit everywhere...Apart from that I don't see much point

Yeah but a $3000 is going to have some good quality components, pre-amps etc. (like mine, sounds incredible). All the extra features are great too of course. I love surround sound for DVDs, GPS and a ridiculous amount of control in regards to sound settings, illumination colour etc.

I could never go back to a normal headunit now.

Reminds me of when West coast customs put a screen UNDERNEATH a car on pimp my ride once....No wonder they didn't wanna be a part of the show anymore, shit like that destroys their reputation

Why? Girls love that shit. If they get bored on long trips I chuck on a movie for them to watch. My family loves it too. Shuts mum up.

You seem real hung up on doing shit to impress women...

which brings me to your avatar...The only thing lamer than photos of money, are photos of money with f**k all money in them.

    • 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.
