hey guys what you have done looks awesome, i have not done one for myself but i have an idea for solving your hard drive problems that no one has mentioned.

have any of you considered microdrives?

for approximately 200 (ebay prices by the way) you can buy a 6gb microdrive. they are still mechanical so you have to be careful with them, but they are way more resistant to being thrown around than a regular hard drive. ou could use one of these to run a lot of your programs and music/videos off, although it would be best to use a traditional ( get a cheap small one) HD to run the OS off for some speed :D

in case you are not familiar with them:

The maps you're looking for are actually for Destinator 3. Freedrive is built on this back-end.

Torrent here: http://www.torrentspy.com/download.asp?id=643606

There is only 2 seeds, so it may take a while to download. It's 80MB, but contains all maps for Australia.

The microphones are tiny, like the size of half a stick of chalk. You've seen mobile phone car kit microphones before havent ya? You can barely even notice it's there..

Destin*tor maps:

If anyone could please cut the australian map and send Victoria only that would be great. As I cannot cut the map through destin*tor console.

I cant see any way this is possible.. it's all or nothing unfortunately.

Attached is the list of files inside the Destinator 3 Australia Maps. I dont see how you can extract Vic only from that? Whats wrong with having all of australia? It's only 80meg :D

With Destinator PN for the PDA, a program installs on the pda and on your own pc, named Destinator Console. Through this program you can install maps located on the Destinator installation cd and cut the installed maps. As Australia is not located on my Destinator Cd, i had to manually copy the australian map files onto the pda, thus being unable to be cut on the progrem.

There is a q2 2005 map installer floating around the net but cannot seem to find it.

Reason i want to cut the map, is because it lags as it searches all of Australia for the roads. Cutting for your own state would reduce this lag. This is in regards to a 200mhz PDA and not a 1ghz PC :P

Im using the same Australia maps for both Destin*tor PN and Destin*tor 3. D-PN was lagging on pda so downgraded to D-3. If i can cut this map I'll probably switch back to D-PN.

On another note if anyone wants a cheap GPS unit do what i did:

- Buy Jornada 568 PDA for $100~ (ebay)

- GPS mouse for 568 - $80 (ebay)

- Memory card 128mb

- Software

Around $200 for a gps.

PM me if anyone needs help >_<

d0p3y, yeah, thought about it, but for the moment I don't really need it, use USB disk to put anything I need on there, and if its a bit of a bigger transfer I can hook it up to the my LAN pretty easyly... but yeah, maybe down the track will add the option for a DVD rom...

Might think about one of these as a project myself shortly. The only thing I wouldn't want to lose is the ability to just chuck a CD or DVD in when needed, because often friends will have a new CD or DVD to watch or listen to, so I wouldn't want to lose that functionality. Finding a place to flush mount a slimline DVD-ROM is the interesting part though..

The system I'm running has the best of both worlds. Due to the double DIN of the skylines (thankyou nissan :D) You can have an in dash motorised screen, AND your normal headunit. You just run the audio output of your PC to your AUX port on your headunit, so you can play CD's in your normal headunit, or switch to AUX for your carputer :laugh:

I'm going to be installing a slimline DVD drive in my glovebox for easy ripping/DVD playing too, cos currently my DVD drive is inside my laptop (under the drivers seat) so not really accessible obviously!

Jon- thats exactly what i was thinkgin abotu doing, mounting a dvd drive in teh glove box, the only problem it will be on an angle is that fine?? I saw on a forum a guy who got aunit fabricated that held a dvd drive with 2usb slots next to it, so i think this looks a great idea.

Michael

for gps software for pda's i prefer tomtom. easy to find latest version on torrentspy. download speed camera locations from net and have it warn you when approaching with spoken and visual warnings. something destinator 3 and pn as well as smart st v2 are incapeable of.

works great with map of australia on a 206mhz pda

Yes that will be fine. The cd/dvd clicks into place in the drive tray. It could even be upside down :P

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
