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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
