Hey mate,

Thats great, how did you get it to work?

The one on my r34 is completely dead, and I cant read Japanese but have pressed all the buttons anyway hoping for some life...but nothing.

Did you get the sat nav and tv going or are you only using it for playing cd/dvd's.

Cheers

David.

In the situation you appear to be in - where the unit is dead and you are in Sydney where no-one provides a real repair or work-around solution like Chris Rogers does in Brisbane you seem to have 2 main options, just do all the basic checks that the connectors etc are all connected as they should be, and if that doesn't reveal an easily fixable problem consider the options provided by Chris Rogers' to get some screen functionality - better to contact him direct.

thanks mate

Appreciate the help

bear in mind if you have a blue screen then theres not a lot I can do over the phone. yes I can use the screen and make it move but it will take cusotm electronics to do it and if you are in another city its probably not a good idea to ring me asking for a all in one DIY solution as a MLB person did today - best to PM/email me.

What puzzles me is the CD player screen is in english, yet every other function screen in the system has Japanese writing??? Why is this? and...can I reprogram it myself? Is there a hidden menu somewhere, that you need a special button sequence to unlock or something?

you can't have met many Japanese - lol - like English is second language taught at school and most younger people have reasonable command of basic english

the answers to your nest 2 questions are NO and No

:down::D:P

Nah haven't met too many Japanese poeple. But man I went to brisbane on friday and there are heaps of hot Japanese chicks in the city! lol.

Thanks for the heads up about the other two questions...That'll put that concern to rest.

my last advice is they are waiting for you to say hello -

cd not readable cd not present.

what discs are you using. these things do not really like burnt discs for some reason.

ylwgtr2,

beats me, I have no issue with the E50 El grand - same system..

Not burnt discs there are bought very clean non scratched discs, I think the lazer or deck in mine might be screwed unfortunately then, also there are 2 inputs/outputs on the TV control on the centre console, what are these, does anyone know?

video inputs (NTSC only) theres two inputs to that unit.

I must get around to working out what laser is acutally in these things.

Both are video? or ones video and ones audio I suspect, I haven't been able to get these working either.

Also I guess lazer cleaners are pretty much useless? am I correct in saying this?

ones audio and ones video....open up the case and solder on some rca's and you will be able to feed in an NTSC signal(beat having ugly rca's hanging out the face)...use a tuner box with a pal to ntsc coverter to get the telly working...you can also use an xbox switched over to ntsc to play movies/music vids/games ect...ive hidden the pick up for the remote controll inside the dash and an using a rf hand controller for the games....Its good fun when you waiting for someone just kick back and play a game :D...For GTR owners if you have the model with the in dash sat nav/cd player and the switch for the telly is on the dash controller as pictured in this thread....take the switch out of the xbox and it fits directly on the circuit board on the MFD!So drill out the blanked hole on the MFD(where the TV switch is on non sat nav/in dash cd player equipped cars) and solder on the switch and wire the xbox power switch through the original loom....ive done mine and you cant see anything at all...ANYWHERE :)

So if I took the deck in the link below to an audio place, they'd have no trouble installing this to work with the stock LCD?

I think I've got one that I took out of a non-functioning HU unit lying around somewhere - just an issue of if I can find it - will do a search in the next few days - will let you know if I find it and I will send it to you (no cost) if that is of use to you answering the question?

looks like it would work. hint: look in your boot passenger side rear corner. that will make things easier :blink:

KV2,

if you can find it toss it my direction. I've taken to fixing these things as some aren't too bad (cost wise) on parts.

Got the fold out display for GTT mine works absolutely fine and is running.

I havnt fiddled with it...only cd's work but im sure with rewiring and meddlign everything else works...audio on channel 7 even works lol!

I am fitting a 2001 GT-R MFD to my center dash so im not gonna need this screen and most likely the wiring aswell...does anyone know how much the thing costs to sell?

If anyone is interested in naming a price and maybe wants it?

Once i install the MFD im not exactly sure wether is hould get a new interface for CD/DVD considering all those buttons you see become quite redundant other than the cd input...

Anyone recon you can put guages there and flush it up if i remove the facia there?

If you're getting rid of the CD player, I'll take it :(

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
