no worries

osman ive put you down for blue. still need to update thread to v2 stuff, maybe next weekend

currently we're about a 50/50 split for blue/green lcd so this might mean blue will only be +$5 over the green rather than $10 (due to higher quantity)

updated. reminder here is current list of people (both via sau, pga, and the website directly):

http://www.ecutalk.com/consultlcd/lcdorders.php

and this avi shows the blue screen:

http://www.ecutalk.com/consultlcd/consultlcd.avi

the screen was slightly covered to keep competing light out, keep that in mind that you wont be able to place it anywhere in direct sunlight (or other bright competing light). can always send it back to be swapped over to a green one for cost of postage if you dont like the blue.

unfortunately not, only those 2 alternatives at the moment. its extremely difficult to find any 20x4 screens that fit within din size (most are 60mm high which is > 50mm din size)

if u want to order 1000 however, it can be done :laugh:

ive put you down for a blue one

here's design for enclosure. unlike the last one there is no pcb slots, so not much of an issue assembling it.

adjoing hole for cable from right to back, so you can reposition cable depending on where you are mounting it without taking it apart

received prototype today. here's pic of it (its on an angle which is why it looks like enclosure window for lcd isnt big enough, but its fine)

ordered 100, maybe have them start august. finally!

added you. and here's some more pics of it. front, side (microsd slot for future hopefully), and rear showing the right/rear cable exit (can switch between either depending on how you want to mount)

do the buttons look weird? would black/dark grey look better?

yah after fitting one with black buttons, looks less of an eye sore :D

no idea why i didnt think of it sooner, im sure people can figure out the 'left' and 'right' button without them being different colours!

ive ordered some black ones so should be good.

have created a new thread for v2 displays:

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
