yep buy a local version. no real way to do it cheaply which is really what you are asking.

if it was an OE one I would have a crack at it. (Its not so I won't.)

hmm,so does that mean that it can be done,im not so concerned about the dvd player or tv,as i dont watch it while i drive ,or just sit in the car,just to watch it ,its more the radio,navigation, i was told that i can buy some thing to get the radio channels expanded,is that true?????

what would be your idea of cheap???, i had a look at the local version,at the time they told me around $3.000for gps nav,dvd,mini dics,tv,mp3,radio

  • 4 months later...

HAY CHRIS

do you know if it's possible to hook up external mp3 player /ipod to the systen above

i had an external mp3 player hooked up to my last system in think i was a kenwood but i had to get a FM modulator

to be able to use it

i realise this system's different but l though i would ask before i pull half the car apart just to find out

it wont work

or anyone eles done anything similar

THANKS

Hey mate,

I have the higher spec'd version the AVN7707 Eclipse which came in my R34...also has MD, DVD, SAT NAV and TV but obviously the TV, DVD and SAT NAV don't work. Mine has a line out option which I plug my media player in to play movies, MP3s etc etc...its under the VTR option if yours has it...

To get the radio to work, just by an FM expander...Chris should be able to sort you out in tht dept. They're a nice unit, just pity not all the functions work in OZ.

AH SWEET .Yeah i got mine when i got my car aswell about 4years ago,just really never the time to pull it out to have a look at it

i got them to fix the radio when i bought the car,so that part's sweet

This VTR option you speek of,i take it its at the back,any ideas were,just asking,i'm sure i'll see when i

pull it out here's a pic i pulled from the wab

Hay i no with mine,while i was living in surface (surface paradise) i got tv reception,i used to watch some sort

of discovery channel while i was stuck in traffic(no sound though)

When u select TV, there should be an option on screen called VTR which I think is equivalent to ur AV function on normal TVs...I can hook up pretty much anything to this eg: PS2, media player, laptop etc...and it will display under the VTR function.

yeah im with ya now

i pulled it out today,hooked it up all sweet

also realised i dont have a FM expander i have a japanese to english FM converter (made in new zealand) go figer

thanks for all the info mate

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
