Need some advice if this is possible

by roheel, 04-04-2019, 04:04 PM

Guys I have been given a pioneer Avic zh009 DVD double din unit by a mate of mine. His car was written off and he has given me the unit.

He told me he never could get video from the DVD playback as it's a Japanese unit and only sound was working with a message on the bottoms of the screen.

From what I can see Im missing a wire loon that plugs into the SENSE port on the back of the unit. I have looked at the Japanese manual and following the pictures it shows this loom hold the wire that for tithe reverse feed and a wire that goes to the handbrake positive feed to tell the car is stationary and show the picture. Usuall the cable needed is on the main power loom of the head unit but in this case it's on this separate plug.

Now I need to get this plug with the wires or help from someone to make a substitute. I have rung Pioneer UK and Europe but they can't help. I tried to speak to Pioneer Japan but the language barrier is proving an issue.

Any advice guys?

Cheers

Thought I would get the ball rolling I mainly like shooting animals ATM and cars when I go to meets. Not really into landscapes but I've tried doing a few.

DAY FROM HELL!!!!!!! Part 3 - Insurance

by jimxms, 04-04-2019, 08:24 AM

Ok I'm going to skip straight past parts 1 & 2 of my day from hell (so far) and skip straight to part 3.

Yesterday at 12:00pm my insurance expired. But that's cool because about 3 weeks earlier I'd already taken out a new policy to start yesterday....at, you guessed it 12:00pm.

I checked MID at 2pm yesterday....all cool. Got the green light to say I was insured.

As a matter of course, I checked this morning. NOT INSURED.

WTF. Phoned insurer: "yep everything is OK, MID should update in 48hrs. Here I'll send you the certificate".


Now, I think I'm right in saying that if I go out driving now and police run my my registration, they're gonna pull me over and probably act like tw@ts, ignoring my piece of paper from the insurer?

This is f'ing bad news right now as my wife is days away from giving birth to our 3rd child and now I'm afraid to take the car out anywhere!!!

Carbon fiber Wrapping parts of the Stagea

by Rabster, 04-04-2019, 07:14 AM

ok so i ahte the wood trim found inside my car see the pic below



so was thinking i will give carbon wrapping a go i know you need to use a Heatgun to soften the glue up and to make it more plyable any tips.....

i also thought i might do the same with the wing mirrors as they have some cracks etc that need repairing, with the car being a pearl white i didn tthink the odd carbon wrapped parts would look to out of place around the car what are your opinions ?


what other parts should i possibly consider wrapping if it looks good enough....

Which clutch?

by bounty`, 03-04-2019, 10:33 PM

Unfortunately my clutch died on the m25 yesterday morning....hopefully it hasnt taken the fly wheel with it! After an hour of sitting on the bank, the recovery truck finally came and we got the Lex (IS200) on the back...only just!

After the 4 mile trip home, and un-loading the car, I was left thinking do I just replace the clutch or upgrade to a stronger one?

Obviously if the cost isnt extortionate I'd prefer to upgrade.

So my question is this, what aftermarket/competition clutches are people running in their IS's and what would you recommend? Any inof on pricing would also be great!

Any help appreciated!

And the effects of the 3 Lexus' with the marquee?
