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

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
