Jap imported Legacy question about ICE

Ok, so im considering buying left hand drive manual aircon unit + hazard switch from the states.

Cost should be around $200NZ

I cant find a cheaper or better solution as it doesnt look like you can get right hand drive fascias for my setup online.

Alternative might be buy the full auto double din kit and seeing if i can wire it to work, but thats double the cost with no confirmation it would even work and no aparent instuctions online (doubt its been done before).

Thats the best I could find

Sounds like yours should have actuator cables coming out of the back of it so the digital one won't work.

Are you thinking of getting the US dials as well with the fascia?

Niavely i bought this fascia already:

But obviously the holes are reversed.

The benefit of my setup is the manual ac control unit comes away seperately (once the cable is released).

I took my current control unit apart and i cant just move the a/c button hard wired to the board behind it.

Only aparent solution is to get a whole replacement ac control unit (dials and switches incl) and hazard switch and fit in like a US version legacy with the US fascia i already have.

I could then sell the stock radio kit + ac control unit to try recoup costs.

So goes my theory anyway.

Not a clue really. Most panel beaters can do it with bumper type plastic but not completely sure if its doable with that hard brittle kind of plastics, no harm asking though. Sure there would be some kind of interior specialist wherever you are that can hopefully do it on the cheap. Or just cut it, sand a nice shape to the cut and wrap it in two pieces yourself.

Not sure what people normally use, never really looked into exact products, could ask in there to be sure

Depends what tools you have and know how to use. I'd just cut it with a grinder or a multitool, and do both cuts a mm or two oversize and just sand it back till it would be a tight fit.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
