We've done the first phase of our installation on our R32 GTR.

Componets used:

LCD display: VMS - 8" VGA touchscreen

DSP: Alpine 701

Car PC - VMS - HP312

Front Stage: Oz Audio Matrix Elite 6.5"

Sub: Oz Audio Matrix Elite 12"

Amps: Treo 2x250

Accessories:

Griffin Power Mate USB controller here

Creative USB 24bit soundcard with TOSLINK out

NESA vision CCD mini reversing camera

Dlink Wifi

Dlink Bluetooth

Dlink USB hubs

The aim of the project was to create a professional Car PC demo car. The 8" LCD has been integrated into the factory centre console along with the Alpine RUX face and climate control panels. The PC itself is a Pentium M 1.2 with 1GB of ram and 120GB hard drive running Windows XP and Centrafuse including GPS navigation. The sound from the PC goes to a creative soundcard with TOSLINK out which connects directly to a Alpine 701 processor.

Its only running Fronts & a sub for pure sound quality purposes but we are thinking about converting this setup to a true 5.1 setup as both the PC and DSP supports DTS and Dolby surround.

The PCs, Amps and sub are all located in the boot with the mids in the factory location and tweeters in the a colume. It came 3rd in the last CAASQ comp in pro class.

ENJOY THE PHOTOS

Very nice... i'm running the same front splits in my R33 and was thinking about getting an OzAudio sub myself.

Nice intall.

How's the sub sound? never heard one of them babies thump :teehee:

its a beautiful sub, very smooth and deep. Its a SQ sub so if you want nice clean music, its great.

Is that a custom install, to get the 8" LCD to fit?

ie cut, plastic bondo + respray?

Yeah, the 8 inch won't fit into the standard double din space. a 7" will, however if you want that integrated look, its got to be custom welded onto the original plastic frame.

The a/c panel and the alpine face has also been integrated into the centre.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
