Using one of these: http://www.altronics.com.au/cat.asp?cat=11...rp=424&id=K2750

Lots of custom work involved, so don't ask me how much erik!

Also have a look at http://www.mp3car.com if it's still around..

I've got a 40 gig MP3 box in my R33 - bought it here - http://www.ssiamerica.com - it's wicked! 6000 songs at 160kps with still 6 gig free! :P

Lol guys,

If i can hook up my laptop and get tv or using laptop monitor ,

I can play songs, watch video, watch tv, play games as well etc :P

Do you think I can go to some workshop to ask for this idea?

do you think I can remove my laptop monitor and put into my car ? :)

already thought about this (check the xbox thread)... obviously if its still connected to the notebook then there is no problem... however if you intend on using just the screen as a TV then its a bit tricky...

you either need to build a signal converter to take the tv signal from your AV box -> VGA(DB15) which you can buy for just under 100... alternatively you can always try to decode the signaling on your notebook monitor (there are sites on the net that list these for some screens) and then build yourself a litle converter box so the tv will take a pal input signal...

basically = pain in the ass, if your doing this to save money then spend 300 on a shonky tv instead of a nice 2-6k indash one

yeah, that mp3 car site rools.

there is a kit they sell which guides you through ripping apart your home pc and hard-installing the HD and CPU in your boot to play just about whatever you want....DVDs, Mp3s etc.

I had/have a nerd mate who in year 12, was too povvo to buy a head unit, so he installed an AC/DC converter and ran his computer and a solid state amp (A/B class) with a dual battery in his boot. he had the computer cd-rom drive installed in the din slot in his dash mounted on spring dampers....

....he also restored a model A ford, so I shouldnt laugh, but I did.

i'v done it before in a mates car but ours wasent a permanent

system all we had was laptop sound card to av out to av cords to amp in the boot becase all the speakers were connected to the amp this worked well power was suplied by the 12V charger unit for the laptop not like it was installed just sat on the dash or on the seat most of the time did the job though :)

if u really wanted to mod it u can split the screen and the keyboard into to pieces and just ran longer wires to your screen mounted where ever then have base unit/keyboard in glove box

the Tv issue would be intresting to see done good luck with it

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
