I'm looking at the yahoo.co.jp auctions and a toshiba screen goes for about 40k yen ($400 usd)

eg http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f72604289

(to replace one in the MFD with broken pixels or whatever)

but I found this

http://store.earthlcd.com/SK-3021-SK3021

for $92 USD which is the same model screen, with some basic frame and power attached.

So I'm wondering if I can't just buy the $92 unit and extract the screen, then I'll have my MFD

replacement ? The PDF from toshiba makes it look identical:

whatcha think?

Good find I've been trying to find an equivalent for a while, I think for the cost difference it's worth getting one to try there won't be much to it from a technical standpoint...if anything but plug n play

Give Chris Rogers a PM and get his opinion.

Well, for $92 usd, I figured it was worth a try so I ordered one and when I get it, I'll rip off the

added circuitry and find out very quickly if it does the job or not.

Stands to reason they should be cheap. I imagine in 2000 they were hot stuff but now they're

almost disposable at that resolution.

Did this ever work? I am looking for a sharp replacement for my Sharp MFD screen, model Sharp 6L-U7WJ

The toshiba panel works, if it replaces a toshiba panel.

A buyer with a Sharp panel bought one and said he thought he could adapt it. I can't remember who he was, I'll look in my email box. Perhaps he achieved his goal.

Anyway I still have some left, if anyone has a toshiba with vertical lines or dead, in an MFD.

email me, almostfreecoogee .. gmail.com

Looks like the GTR's after 00 have the Toshiba screens and the 99 models have the Sharp screens, from what google tells me.

Cheers for that. I'll do a bit more research and see if I can confirm.

I have a working Sharp unit in my '99 V-Spec N1 Chris.

I've been given the upgraded Nismo unit which adapts it seems, to the Toshiba wiring.

I'm in a conundrum here.

You're not resolving the same issue are you?

Not quite. I have a full sharp mfd unit in my possession. I am going to yank the video portion off the sharp screen and adapt it to another screen.

Still working out how the video generation is done at this point in time.

Looks like the screen board does the video conversion and that is dropped to a second board on the LCD panel itself.

I will have the scop out tomorrow and start deriving signals. It looks like the sharp LCD panel takes raw video and 'RGBS' and processes it at the LCD panel.

Will know more tomorrow.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
