anyone got the lead being part number 855-5430-00 to connect a dvd player up to the R34 GTR MFD?

or...anyone know a place that has any in stock or...worse case can car audio shops still order it?

thanks!

its a JDM item so its locked to region 2 for a start. . easier to run an aftermarket item in there. see brian at autotainment for this.

do you have the TV setup as well?

(this is a setup question - no TV means its done differently.)

i've got a JVC KD-DV4306 which I just popped in there which plays DVD's but does not have a screen.

Due to safety issues i'm not super fussed if I cannot connect it to the MFD but if not I wouldn't bother with a a/m screen.

So the MFD is locked to region 2? not sure how a cable is locked to region 2, if so does that mean it can be rewired to region 4?

Hurray sourced the part number from Chris Rogers (big up man, thanks alot!) and installed it into the GTR and now I got DVD running through the MFD!

sweet...all you need is a deck that outputs composite in NTSC and the above clarion part.

I bought a JVC KD-DV4306 which is a single DIN headunit that can play dvd's. As it has no screen you have to get an external one, so $199 for the headunit and the cable to the GTR's MFD and DVD with divx playback! works great!

Also means I could get rid of the 2 DIN japan HU and put a pocket in for some space to put my phone. Hurray!!

Recommended! If anyone wants pics of it (it's nothing special) just ask.

to answer a couple of PM's I got...the screen works fine to play region 4 encoded (australian) dvd's, and can play PAL or NTSC dvd's that are burnt copies. The unit itself can also do divx, mp3, wma, etc. The headunit does the work in converting the final signal to NTSC so that it can be output onto the GTR's MFD which can only show NTSC (PAL signal makes the screen B&W and interlace).

the cable that Chris has makes a RCA socket available on the MFD, no soldering or anything like that needed. Just pop the MFD out and connect the cable up to the composite out on a headunit. Just make sure the headunit you have can output to NTSC and all you'll need is the cable.

here's a dodgy phone pic of it in action...

I've done this mod last night, but i can't get a nice colourful image, seems that my headunit isn't outputting to ntsc. I get a flickering image in black and white . I have an AVIC F910BT which i can't find the output options. I'm guessing the video output is set by the headunit by the region. Anyways, i'll try to play a copy of a dvd tonight and see if that changes anything. I played a video from my iphone and it did the same flickering image. that's stupid that i can't change the output of the headunit. I' m tempted to start looking for pan to ntsc video converters.

Sorry to bring up old thread, I got my hands on one of those Clarion cables, and gonna plug it into my MFD.

I just wanna know, apart from DVD/video from the JVC HU, what else can I feed into that lead?

Any reverse camera that has NTSC output? Or is there anyway to convert the MFD to PAL?

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
