Cheers mate, yeah it is but not the 1k ones that are floating around atm, mine cost about $650-$700 and works a treat have no issues with it what so ever and the steering wheel controls work with it also. Bloke was friendly Asian (bit hard to talk to on phone) and had good customer service. Found the link!

oh thats alright. the one i seen was 399 or 499 with the gps dvd and cd player and you could hook it up to the steering wheel controls and i think you got a ipod/phone cord with it too. i think it was from mildura.
this is the one i was lookin at.

I used to have a 7" flip out one like that, personally I think even with the chinese stuff you get what you pay for, my old one was in a 86 4runner (First car LOL) and it worked well for about a year then slowly fell to bits like freezing up and switching off randomly as well as skipping music which were mp3's haha strange. Each to their own at the end of the day, it seems like a good deal!

ok. ive never had a dvd player in a car. i just had a single din jvc cd player in my old laser before i got my vz. the one i was lookin at sounds alright but you never know how long its gunna last. i mite look in to the one you put up before.![]()
At the end of the day mine could cop out 2morrow but so far its doing its job haha, best bet just Google the one you get your heart set on for any issues/reviews! Hope I helped!

i'll have to have alook at it again to find the model number of it and google it. didnt think of doin that. cheers
Just an update, managed to snag a last minute treasure on ebay. A Genuine VZ Alloy Accelerator pedal with Fly-by wire for $42. First one i've seen and so cheap! Haha, will be going in on thursday.
Also bought 4 new RDA Gold Zinc, Dimple Drilled and Slotted Front and Rear Rotors as well as 8 Front and Rear Bendix GCT Pads.

Ill take a look first thing tomorrow and take some pics for you STVato, I think I still have the instructions with the sizes and model number lying around.
On another note installed the accelerator after work today nice and easy thankfully and strangly feels a little me reasponsive.. Maybe psychological but the other may have been slightly warped in some way hahaha

New SS inductions Growler installed yesterday and very happy with the difference it gives. Mainly noise and helps slightly with lag at hard acceleration

Hey bud car looks sweet
Just wondering when you put in the second oil pressure for the sensor did you have trouble with plugging the original back in? Mine was an absolute b**** to do cos there was only just not quite enough cable to plug the factory one in, took me and a mate ages to connect it
Apart from that I'm keen to see the gauges in yours
Again nice ride mate
Will definately be doing something with the engine as soon as I'm off P's at the moment I'm so restricted till November, Cheers Heronvy

nice car mate looks great, iv also got a genuine r8 clubby kit on mine, thay look much better than the cheep kits thats for sure! were bouts did you get your Satan pedals from? and are thay hard to fit? i no the accelerator one you need to replace the hole pedal is that right?
cheers scott
The oil sender was an absolute bitch Sup3r it took me just as long as you i'm sure. Alot of fiddling around without any hand room!

Thanks mate, I purchased my pedals on ebay first with a SS set and obviously the accelerator pedal didn't fit and was lucky enough to pick up a VZ pedal with the accelerator arm which is really easy to fit just 4 bolts just awkward to reach. The foot rest is just 2 bolts on the side 1 min job and the break is a slip on aboslute pain in the ass and had a blister on my thumb from the pressure helps to use a screwdriver for the angel.
Found one here for you, bit pricey but this is what you need:
