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

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
