For stuff that's never arrived, yes

It arrived, but isn't what it was supposed to be in the sense that it doesn't fit.

The ad said fits 'most' Hondas, but then says 'I use it on my CBR 600RR', which is what I have, yet it's the wrong connection altogether.

They'll refund it no worries, but the item was like $8 (bought 2 so $16), then paid $30 something for express postage.. so they'll only refund me what I paid for the item, and probably want me to pay for the return postage as well, which means it won't be worth it at all.

Was wondering if a paypal dispute or whatever it's called will get me my $50 back

New iPad mini as a head unit.. what you think?

like what Mighty car mods did, except removable..

to me sounds like an awesome idea.

you can use it for maps / banking / music / etc etc while on the go

might look a bit strange but idea behind it is pro imo.

well yeh, i can get an RCA splitter and wire it into an amp - speakers, can get EQ apps all the lap timing apps OBD reader from it too so it seems like the perfect Idea..all my music, movies everything can be accessed, and i can take it out of the car as I please..

plus the radio in there doesnt have a radio for aus, doesnt play mp3, let alone have a USB.. and the mini fits near perfect for the two din.. 7.9"

Why though? Because its an apple? Or the whole idea itself

Not because its apple (I own a ipad / iphone myself) I dunno I just didn't really like the idea itself at first.. just seems a bit ricey when you can buy good headunits already :P but when you think about it could work well

Plus it would need to be a very clean install to pull it off, I didn't think of the GPS / laptime capability though so yeah might be good.. just make sure it's installed legit and not like this:

hmm, I think I've had postage refunded - but yeah, they usually make you pay return postage

Yeah a PayPal dispute usually gets you a full refund. You and a seller both get a chance to plead your case and then PayPal make their decision based on the evidence. It could go either way but generally they'll side with the buyer

might call him and see if he has a mold, he's interstate unfortunately..

yeah i think you would prob need to go with one of the android tablets to get a better look tbh

the android tablets look shit. IMO anyway.

lol yeh i dont want to mount it inside the dash, i want to be able to remove it when Im at home or leaving the car parked for long times..

basically sits perfectly directly in front, which means I wont have to cut the dash, and IF i do decide to put a head unit back in, i stil have a dash.

sounds like you found an actual use for an iPad.

lol

    • Just get rid of the orignal low impedance injectors, replace with modern high impedance injectors, and you won't need the resistors. Wire direct, as per any other engine.
    • Tao, we're not talking about the ECU boost ref. We're talking about the wastegate signal source.
    • Flapping up and down is a consequence of the varying pull on the belt. When the engine speed is suddenly increased, the tension in the belt increases too. When that engine accel changes to decel, the tension is reduced and turns up as a little extra length of beltes between the pulling and dragging pulleys. That extra length flaps up, then down. There's all sorts of other harmonic stuff going on too.
    • hello ladies and gentlemen so i’ve swapped a rb26dett into my r33 gtst and ive come across many speed bumps but its nearly over what im having issues with is the injector resistor box that are normally on the RB26 fuse box but im still using my rb25 fuse box and as a result my injectors aren’t getting power and is the last thing i need to figure out so the car can start. can anyone help me out on where i can find a wiring diagram for the rb26 harness to see where the injectors are supposed to receive power 
    • The boost pressure at the compressor cover will be higher than at inlet manifold. lets say, trying to hold 20 psi flat at 7000 RPM. If your wastegate opens at 20 psi measured at the compressor cover, the engine may only be seeing 16 psi. Your base pressure reading at engine would be 20psi by 4K and 16psi by 7K while your MAP at compressor housing still reads 20psi at 7K. For this reason your ECU's MAP source is never on the compressor cover. This difference isn't a major concern if you're using an electronic boost controller (EBC).
