Newbie Owner- 2007 ESTIMA - Japanese Import

[melickg]

Hello

Recently purchased a 2007 Used Estima, Direct Import from Japan and seems there's very little support for after market mods here in Australia. Anyway will be trying to participate in the forums to seek help and also offer help. I'm a frequent traveller to Hong Kong and China. Hong Kong has a well established Estima owner's club and lots of Auto shops specialising in ESTIMA parts and accessories.

Cheers

George

Hello George. I am from Hong Kong, The car mods culture is Australia is very different from Australia. Australia interested in the older Toyota model and some Hilux. Look the the number of modified Hiace in Hong Kong, they are so hot. Modifying my own corolla looks like I am an idiot in Australia, but in Hong Kong and Thailand, it is very popular.

Hi Ben,

I just returned after 12 years living in Hong Kong myself. Yes I've seen the Pimping they do in HK and It's great. I'm not so "ambitious" and am just looking for simple things to make my Estima more comfortable for use in Australia, such as Replacing the Factory Entertainment System which speaks to me in Japanese and the GPS which thinks I'm in Tokyo!! Trying to find a wiring harness to change over this to a Pioneer System I bought when I was in HK recently. Nothing here in Australia, so I may have to search the Auto shops in Hak Po Street MK!!
