do you want just the stand alone screen? flip out or a double din fixed unit?

Really all depends on cost and what you can get. Ideally i want to get rid of my cd/dvd headunit, and 3 gauge din holder and put a 7" touch screen in there, so it will need vga input with a usb output - for the touchscreen functionality. It will then be connected up to a craptop (laptop that is well, crap) that i got from work for free, which will be connected to my haltech ecu so i can get read outs - woo rice, and play music, gps, etc etc of a carpc.

I have been looking at these lilliput screens. I am looking to be setting my carpc and car interior retrim up around the end of the year, performance mods first - which is almost done, around september/october time.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

someone on NS.COM said pooraka petrol station has 100RON with up to 10% ethanol!

new replacement for e85?

probably not... not enough % ethanol to make a real differance so you wont see/get any of the advantages of ethanol... oh, and only 100 ron

ofcourse i dont go to watch it, got dragged there by my boss who had season tickets n no 1 to take. even she is regretting buying em.

crows won something like 120 to 15 and i heard carn the crows about a million times

heaps weird theres people there that pay the money for a ticket n then just watch it on the tv at the pub there, why not just do it at a bar nearby for nothing

ah yeah sorry Jack. I am after a stand-alone screen that I can have a fibreglass shroud built to custom mount it on a dash. Planning on plugging an EeeePC/Acer Aspire One into it to run full time consult display tools from ODBII. Resolution needs to be around 1024x600 or so, and needs to have a VGA conector (and USB connector to run the touch screen obviously).

Are you planing on mounting in where the 3 gauge holder is ontop of the dash in the 34? or do you have the flip out factory screen ontop of the dash and would like to put a fixed touch screen in there insted?

As Abe sugested before the lilliput screens are very popular with guys doing what you two are.

No probs with getting rid of the CD and 3 gauge holder in the dash,did you want to keep the pocket underneath it or get rid of that too? As i said in the other quote the lilliput screens are very popular for this kind of thing and i would highly recomend them.

Ill see what else i can find for you guys and get back to you both via PM.

Pocket underneath? I have my climate control up top, jvc dvd headunit, then my 3 gauge holder - with 1 gauge in it, right below that is the ashtray etc etc. I am wanting to maybe get rid of jvc headunit and 3 gauge holder, as ill have readouts on the screen, and the carpc for music, etc, and keep the climate control for well, aircon and heating i guess.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
