Hi all,

I've recently aquired a Legnum which came from Japan with a Pioneer Carrozzeria AVX-P55 screen. I have tried contacting Pioneer Aust, Japan and US with no helpful responses from anyone. I am trying to determine what the input is to the screen, whether it is AV, RGB etc?!

My intention is to purchase a Pioneer DVH P5950 head unit (or similar) which will play DVD's with an AV output inputting to the Screen. I haven't been able to get the screen out yet, but have these photos from a Japanese Auction showing the connections - so can someone please tell me, is the yellow plug AV (compatable with new HU) or is it RGB and im going to have to buy a format converter?

Cheers

Lee

I think the RGB stuff you're talking about is component cables

What you have there, is the standard AV style... Video, left and right audio, better known as RCA

probably a 50Hz screen too... which means nothing to you :D

so you're answer is, RCA! It will be one (probably) 50Hz Video cable... so umm yeah, no converter necessary...

I figure 50Hz would be the refresh rate of the screen, so if it is indeed RCA, I should be able to hook up my home DVD player in the shed to ensure the input is correct yes? As long as DVD player has NTSC selectable output?

I just dont want to pay $400+ for a head unit that doesn't play anything to my screen

Cheers for the help Dr :D

yeah it should be fine... if you put a 60Hz image through it will come out black and white though ;)

However, why NTSC? If the legnum was imported from Asia, it will be PAL...

Either that or I am confused :D

Good luck! :( Lemme know if you need any more help!

Well I got the dash facia off on the weekend, and sure enough NTSC output on my Digi Camera output to the screen beautifly!!

Now I need a new head unit so looking at these options: Im just looking for something faily basic to make use of the screen I have - No intentions of subs/amps/car theatre type setups.

this magic box you speak of... an addition to the setup or a special dvd head unit of its own?

If an addition, how big is it etc? thanks :D

nope.

if you are looking for a magic box - prepare to pay for it. they are available ($400.) - more info - ask me.

its in addition and about the size/thickness of a small book. after you have it you can put wahtever DVD unit in. it wont matter.

TV Tuner I was looking at will recieve the PAL signal and output NTSC, so was putting NTSC into the H/U, and NTSC to the screen.

Chris - Can you please recommend me a H/U that has AV line in? seems all of the HU's I posted above DONT have a rear AV input :thumbsup:

so where does it go? behind the scenes, or do you need to make room for it on the facade/dash/console whatever you wanna call it?

thanks

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
