For all those who bought, have been informed of a feature available but not in the manual.

-If you connect the orange wire (normally earthed) to the reverse signal wire (12V), it will switch the picture to AV1 when reverse is selected, for the purpose of viewing a reverse camera. NTSC cams only for Stageas of course.

cheers

Big thanks to Chook for my unit. :thumbsup: I had heaps of questions about the unit and the install process and he helped me with every step. My install went relatively smoothy once we worked out how to pull all the panels out.

I have found that I have no car acceleration interference noise when I use the tv side of the unit. I used expensive 50cm wires for that connection, however, I have a seperate dvd (cheapo) unit in the back seat with seperate screens for the kids, I had to use longer cables, and they were of pretty ordinary quality. The result? I get heaps of interference noise when I switch the unit to the input from the dvd drive. I'm trying to decide whether to rip apart the boot again and replace the wires with some better quality cable, or install a noise suppressor, this is not the units fault I must stress.

I did have one other issue today tho, all of a sudden it would not get any signal from any station, so I performed the auto scan again, and it found no stations at all. Odd I thought, maybe the anntenas had shorted out?? So I was about to pull it all out and check my wiring again, but I noticed the reset switch on it, I hit that, and the auto scan came up with all the channels again no problem. So, I'm not sure what caused that, but a simple reset seemed to work, I know my home DVB locks up almost daily, I guess thats the digital age for ya!

Other than that the unit works quite well, its solidly built, top quality and keeps a steady picture going even with fairly bad signal strength (52%) :down:

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks for the update chook - great support considering this is just a group buy! Mine is working perfectly (no issues with resets or anything else). I still have reception challenges at some deep spots near my house but the reception is much better than the previous unit I had in there.

I pulled apart my dash today and found that I have the R-spec over ride but the switch has been cut off.

Can anyone suggest what would be a suitable button ans how would it get wired? There are 4 wires in the lead to the switch (or where it once was) and they are coloured, Red, Black, White & Yellow.

Cheers

Have a look on the 1st page of this thread. Chook posted a picture of the unit. It allows the TV to be used whilst driving.

You driving an M35 ? My car's screen works whilst driving and Im positive that there is no Over-ride unit installed. I think I have had all the interior in pieces looking for various wires/faults.

Pretty sure but then again I was able to get the screen working for a while after I played around with some menu settings. No idea what i did. Some how I changed it back again. The only obvious sign was that when looking at the GPS it would not track the car on the screen whilst it allowed the TV to work.

I will check out the setting on my screen and let you know, both the TV button Screen and the display button Screen

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
