Hi guys,

Picked up my car on Saturday.. been trying to play a few CDs.

It's a stock R33 S2 doulbe din head unit with the cd + tape deck. The CDs either say "cd err" or randomly skip. I have tried a range of CDs, and not just CD-Rs ("real"CDs too!).

I can only be lead to believe there is a fault in the deck itself, does anyone know if this is covered by the NSW statuatory wty? Do I have a leg to stand on returning to the dealer and asking him to swap it with his other stock?

Cheers,

Tim

Tim: did you attempt to use the deck when you test drove the car to make sure it worked correctly?

If you hadnt tried it out previously i hate to say it but i dont think there is much you can do mate.

give them a call and explain to them exactly what its doing and you never know they may just sort it out for you.

good luck

Unfortunately I didn't.  He hadn't installed the freq expander and I didn't have a CD on me so I didn't test it out at all.

However, radio does work perfectly.  I'll drop them a call and see how I go, thanks.

where do u buy a frequency expander? how much do they cost?

these make a jap stereo pick up australian frequencies right?

G'day,

I didn't install it - it was part of compliance I guess. I heard they were like $40.

The Jap radios seem to stop at 99.99 or something (i.e. can't pick up 104.1 etc). Mine offsets the freq by 18, so 96.9 => 78.9, etc.

Just turf it... and get a decent unit, you'll want to soon enough anyway. If you like your music you'll want something that sounds much better.

I've never heard a standard issue face unit sounding that great. Even the brand name ones they include in a new car usually are pretty poor quality (like the lowest of their range).

I thought it was the speakers the car came with that were crappy, but i still replaced the head unit first... put in my panasonic 4x45W, and OMG, sounded 10times better... more loudness/clarity/everything!

CHECK THE PAPERWORK CAREFULLY

Used car dealers must put a vehicle description form on the windscreen of every used car. The form will show the dealer's name, the cash price and other details such as the engine number, odometer reading and if a warranty applies.

A Form 4 indicates the car has a standard used car warranty.

A Form 8 means there is no statutory warranty.

Occasionally there may be Form 6. This means a standard used car warranty applies but the dealer is not going to repair certain items that don't affect safety, such as air conditioning.

YOUR STATUTORY WARRANTY RIGHTS

All used vehicles purchased from licensed dealers are covered by a 3 month or 5,000 km statutory warranty providing:

The vehicle is not more than 10 years old and has not travelled more than 160,000 km.

The purchase price does not exceed the Luxury Vehicle Depreciation Limit ($52,912 as of 1 January 1996). This amount varies at each annual Federal Budget and applies from 1 January each year.

It is not a commercial vehicle.

WHAT DOES YOUR WARRANTY COVER?

In general terms, the motor vehicle and

all accessories fitted at the time of sale are covered by the warranty. . If a defect occurs during the warranty period, the dealer is obliged to fix the defect so that the vehicle is in reasonable condition for it's age. The time it takes to make repairs is added on to your warranty period.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
