Who said anything about it being legal? Its illegal to even have it operating when the handbrake is not on....Thats why legally it has to be wired into the handbrake so that it disables when the handbrake is on...

yer its not legal, but you put the hand break on one click, or i can get them to not connect it..

haha BUT your aloud GPS??? who knows these days!! :thumbsup:

oh

i did not know that

usually we have it playing in a mate's car and been through a few breath tests while movie's on and they don't notice it, figured its legal

just got lucky then...

and now im thinking i install a head unit/dvdplayer underneth a screen so i dont use the screen unless i wont to,

im going to have a look tonight...

I'd say you'd be able to play music on it without having the screen out, but yeah, a seperate unit is the other option

I wouldn't do the 1 click thing, just don't connect it, and put it away if a cop is pulling you over...

yes welkommen alex, I too have a DVD player/screen in my car.. and it actually gives me the shits to be honest.. its kinda distrating having the rather bright sreen Gleeeming away during the night while driving. and it covers the climate control when its open. Mine is actually starting to play up a little. it opens then closes when it reaces fully open. i have to hit the open button at the right time to get it to stay open.

personally think its a total waste of money....better option is to get a good sound system for the car.

A person i knew (and who owns a skyline) said he used to watch the screen while driving down the highway.....i wanted to ask him "what did the 5 fingers say to the face?"

btw ctjet - i lol'd at your first post in this thread.....the writers of family guy got the idea for glen quagmire from Ivan the terrible (aka ctjet) :)

Welcome to the forums

Alex will be a friend from CNR33's work who bought the car I suspect as he was talking to me about selling it a couple of weeks back and explained that. Say Hi to Chris when you see him as he doesnt get on here much anymore I have noticed. :D

Back to real crime Sherlock Holmes. :)

Dam straight its a novelty item haha,

whats my source?? a public webserver? HUH?

oh and i got the screen cheap, my dad installs A.V. so i go through his wholesaler,

and now im thinking i install a head unit/dvdplayer underneth a screen so i dont use the screen unless i wont to,

im going to have a look tonight...

alex, alex, alex what are you doing to my car??? haha. don't move the climate control unit, it'll look crap in the top corner. just mount it in the middle slot where my head unit was, and you could always put something else below it!

welcome aboard anyway ;)

ill take this one step further and get ready to be flamed.. Im currently working on installing not just dvd screen in my car a full computer.. it will have all those cool pc options cd/dvd burner, dvd player, wireless internet, games, gps, reverse camera and front camera (maybe mounted in the grill for cool cruise shots) and of course a hard drive stocked with mp3 and music videos. As far as covering your controls goes mines adjustable and doesnt just flip out and up it swivels left and right (does yours have that)??

It makes it a bit easier to get to the controls.

ive got a screen in my car, sits just under the climate control unit, and only effects the controls when open so no biggie. yeah it is a bit of a gimmick but eh, i like it. can send you pics of how it looks in the car if you like Ally.

Welcome to SAU ;)

TV/DVD in the car is a bit of a show thing, more of a toy. I had a Pioneer DVD and TV tuner in one of my previous cars back in 2000-2001. Was kinda cool to be able to watch the news or whatever on TV when I was stuck in traffic :)

Other than show value, I don't see the point in the DVD player... since I'm unlikely to sit and watch a DVD in my car on a small 7" screen..

Anyway Welcome to SAU Ally! :bunny:

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
