This the purpleline thread on the mfd?

http://www.hkskylineclub.com/new/forum_pos...p;KW=Purpleline

wow that's intense!

yeh thats got everything you need. the guy is a LEGEND!!!

although the guys english isnt 100%. and there are a few things to take note of. i might get a DIY happening. but ill see wat happens.

honestly if you got basic electrical knowledge....and know ur way around with a soldering iron. your pretty much sweet.

the hard part is finding an actual MFD. the things are like 1500 a pop and rare as f*k. i was lucky enough to buy it off a smashed gtr simliar to this one

:unsure:

yes mad cow!

ps get some new dash lights, some of them are fading out :P

they are actually quite bright...its just from the flash of the camera u cant see em that much.

but yeh....any requests on types of pics i should take for tm?

I always wondered if this would work in a 33 :unsure:

they work in every skyline, just gotta find the right inputs/outputs.

the GTRS have Front Toque sensors over the GTST/GTTs of course

but the R34s share the same mould so theres no custom fibreglassing.

go here for all ur MFD needs

http://www.hkskylineclub.com/new/forum_pos...;PN=1&TPN=1

so all the sensors are there? Like G sensors? I suppose they would have to be in the unit itself...

everythings there except front toqure (cuz my fronts dont turn obviously) and g sensor. BUT im gonna test my luck here and buy a aftermarket G sensor and see if that works.

i cant see any reason why it wouldnt.

=D

im also thinking about hooking up the exhaust temp and inlet temp

quite expensive though

inlet = $173

exhaust = $400 :(

Out of interest you think its worth it?

Surely there is an aftermarket sensor.

i defiantly think its worth it, considering that prop less then 10 GTTs would have the same thing set up, and that the MFD isnt defectable and can read almost any type of gauge you buy.

plus its just looks awsome. also acts as a TV and a output for a DVD player. for wat i picked it up for......its gold

i dont quite understand wat u mean for aftermarket sensors though?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
