So I don't need anymore cds, just play every mp3s inside my laptop with the keyboard as well and mouse :)

Man I'd like to see your car hey

I bet you got some freaky shit on it :)

bring some equipment to the skill swap day i'll bring a mate that can help you with everything you need for this venture...

he converted a desktop computer into an mp3 unit and set it up so he plugged a 30 metre network cable in and uploaded mp3s via ftp.

also he controled the unit which was in his boot via a palm pilot hooked up via a serial cable...

was quite ingenious...

oh really? ok loh, I'll bring my laptop or I'll get new desktop with big hard drive. He got monitor to hook up the o/s? upload easy just use wireless lan or something or cable from ur computer inside ur house to your boot.

The thing is I want to get monitor and desktop/laptop to works with it as well as sound system inside my car, GPRS will do as well :)

oh icic, i prefer getting a keyboard and mouse to control the unit

lol, i'll get pillar mount something i forgot the name and put boost gauge.

Yeah , that's what i'm thinking getting new mobo with bluetooth with p4 keyboard and mouse good graphics, tv turner and massive hard drive (external usb)

do you think he can do it for me? if he can i'll meet him on sunday, bam come along

i'll give him a ring but he is definately the crazy bastard your looking for....him and his mate foxy

they are crazy electronic bastards...he ripped bits off a old tape dech and fixed his monitor that blew up

this would be possible in theory to do depending on some things

1. age of laptop

2. room inside the the car. ... . hmmm r34 isnt overly small

3. how much money ur willing to spend ! :P

it can be done if u really really want to do it. dont expect it to be cheap though

Ive got an iPod that plugs into an AiNet Din to RCA lead... switch source on the head unit to Aux and away we go. iPod sits snugly in my coin tray.

Of course an iPod is a fairly significant investment. But i luurrve the gadgets :D

Also ill give you guys the inside word on a new mp3 player that altronics are releasing in November. Its basically a single din sized unit that runs off 12V with LCD screen, full track controls on the front panel (I think it will even feature a USB2.0 port so you can upload from a laptop while its still in the car). With the use of a notebook hard disk it can easily be used in cars. We've been using it at work for weeks now and its really good!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
