Dude, if you've read the forum rules, you would KNOW that you CANNOT publically badmouth any businesses here.

Considering you've only just signed up here, these rules should be fresh in your memory!

if i had an ordeal like that, the last thing I would be worried about is using f**king punctuation

shit go man! shouldn't that kind of repair be covered under the motor dealers act for dealer used car sales or something?

I hate dealers :happy: and their warranty's aren't worth anything.

Better off buying a privatly owned car for less money and taking it to a real mechanic that will be happy to point out whats wrong with the car rather than dodge things up and hide problems from you.

I'm not surprised by that at all, used car dealers are the worst and the ones on parra road from granville right through to ultimo are all just as bad as each other.

Wait, the internet has got rules?

not exactly the internet - this forum does - you can get into some real serious shit if you discredit a company or business on the internet, its happening to someone on this forum as we speak and a few of you guys know who and what I'm talking about, it even puts this whole forum in jeopardy. So if you want to avoid getting served for a law suit for discrediting a business then just say nice things or nothing at all.

    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫 
    • Is a dirty cheese eating surrender monkey in drag.
    • I'm late to the party. Been busy with a newborn... Keeping me up at all hours of the night.  I'll look into purchasing ID 1750's then! Thanks everyone for the concrete evidence.
