After alot of sanding its now pritty much perfectly smooth.

Connected the screen to the dash and test fitted it into the car.

Nearly perfect needs some paint and some new clips to hold the top to the dash.

Nice work, what sort of LCD are you running?

I admire people who spend the time making their carputer look custom. I personally wouldnt do it, because i like being able to easily remove and upgrade/change things if they break.

ditto....before i would consider an install like this, i'd have to source a spare centre console surround, so i KNEW i could revert to stock if need be.

My dash souround wasnt perfect to begin with clips broken and scratched up so it didnt bother me cutting it up.

If i want to go back to standard i will just buy a new one.

The wiring in my dash was pritty dodged up so im gonna enjoy redoing the lot.

The screen seams pritty good so far. wasn't a real cheap one either but if i hjave problems i will buy a nice expensive one.

With a bit of paint it should look pritty good.

BTW im in perth and its the only small patch of grass at the house so its easy to keep green :action-smiley-069:

got the screen from here http://www.phoenixitd.com.au/products/carpc.html

If you dont want to cut up your dash they have a motorized one

Very Nice! Great job.

I have the same screen setup in my 'line.

Would lke to know more about how this plastic welding stuff works.

I've secured mine in a complicated way from the inside of the console.

Pics should be in a post titled "GTR carputer" or similar

Regarding reliabilty - I've had mine since October '06 - no complaints so far

Yours looks really good.

I was going to make a mount and not cut up my dash but i always wanted tomodify a dash like i have done.

Was alot of fun.

The plastic weld is an epoxy i got from a auto shop. if it dosnt hold i will properly plastic weld it in

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
