R34 Stock Display

[cosmic starz]

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.

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

[tmg]

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.

getting these units to work is not rocket science...i dont understand why people are having so much trouble

[offroadaaron]

Hi,

Sorry to hijack the thread but I cant get CD's to play on mine. Mine comes up with the following:

left picture with CD in, right picture without CD in.

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..

[offroadaaron]

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?

[Chris Rogers]

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 ...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

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
