The epson ej1 is the ecu for the LCD screen right?

Basically one that is the same as what you have in your car - displaying oil pres, boost, speed, rpm, the whole works....

Do you know the jap sites that still sell them?

Yeah, if you dont have the ej1 then the screen is only use for as a tv or reversing camera or some thing like that.

Also there is no oil pressure or boost pressure, it has rpm, speed, power (how it gets the power im not sure but it was pretty close), gforces for accelerating and breaking (no side to side) and then a whole heap of pit stuff that somehow gauges tyre wear and other stuff.

I didnt like it and got rid of it, wasnt really what i wanted, was just a little gadget to tinker with.

Dont remember what site still sells them, will have to do a search.

So basically without the ej1 the screen can only be used as a tv or something like that? I didnt think you needed the ej1 to display speed, rpm, etc.

What does the screen on your dash display?

You can use anything which has a video output; so HKS CAMP 1 or 2, blitz have something similar also, or ej-1 system

there is one for sale atm but at 1.5k+ (no ej1 system but its the sat nav one)

the screen is just used to display anything (has a video input at the rear of the dash)

What i meant was the hks camp wouldnt work in a skyline, but that lists a cable for the consult port so it should, but only if you still have the standard ecu.

Also i would take note of all the extra bits needed at the bottom of the page you linked to (unless it will all work through the consult port) that was exactly the sort of thing i was looking for, pitty no one told me about the consult port cable back then, just thought it was OB11

Well i guess i better start putting away some $$$ just incase i come across one!

there are 2x Dash for sale atm both are the sat nav price (between $1500-$2000) then there is a brand new epson ej-1 system for sale too price is $600

not cheap :P

HKS CAMP 2 is $650 + $50 for the plug for the nissan + if you any optional sensors they are $150 each (boost, pressure, temp)

but the display is better

read don't need as : Doesn't help you go faster, could be done cheaper with other alternatives, if you don't already have it why bother.

So what your saying is that everyone should do the same things with there cars, no one is allowed to be different or do something that you dont agree with, not all people just want to go faster, most people understand this but there are still some who think modifying a car is all about doing it there way and every other way is wrong.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
