I have a series 2 , 2000 GTT and the computers in the boot are in my way, can anyone tell me what they go to ? before I spend a while looking at wiring diagrams? need to move them for audio install if possible?

PS the car has jap sat/nav/tv as well

cheers

Not sure if it helps, but thoses computers control the HICAS systems

figured that out, but no help

I think the middle one might be a sat nav computer but havent removed it to see yet?

cheers anyway

As an owner of a R34 Coupe with the Xanavi sat nav /tv/cd pop-up screen I can tell you the middle larger boxy thing with the AV (red green black etc coloured ) cables going in and out is the unit that takes signals from the various antennas embedded in your rear screen and sends them on to the Xanavi HU in the dash - these then are processed futher into audio TV or Sat nav on your screen (in theory at least since you cannot get the sat nav or tv to work in Aust without a lot of effort). I haven't looked in the boot area for a long while so cannot remember what the other 2 boxy things are.

Warning - You cannot remove the above unit without accessing and undoing a screw inside the car behind the rear seat - a lot of extra work - just undoing the screws that you can see in the boot is not enough.

Wiring diagrams for these units ? Your dreaming - you finding one is improbable like winning the lottery - anything you do is more likely going to be trial and error.

And you may want to consider that removing this unit and associated wiring may mean you lose the powered boost of signal to your radio (cassette ) unit so it will become rather redundant.

Why do you want to remove the unit? - is the pop-up screen still working on the AUX settings and when CDs are playing ? see pic - some people feed AV in via the box in the boot to get TV and movies on the screen.

My best suggestion is unless the extra bit of boot space is critical to you just leave the whole lot intact - you can still update to a modern new HU without removing that stuff.

The whole dash equipment including the screen is being redone with 7"widescreen format lcd, dvd, cd player , and the antenna is bypassed already, I have a hidden amplified model until i find a nice tiny shark fin off a wrecked BMW or ?, diversity antenna from nissan are crapola, even when new. the carbon fiber/plexi sub box is going to be installed behind the seat and ported thru the rear deck , just trying to clean up the area as much as possible so i dont loose any boot space. redoing since the car is going into car shows and sound offs now. figured the center one was the sat nav, judging from the connectors on it just wanted to confirm it.

not removing it so much as just moving it, some cars have built in rollover devices that if moved shut the engine down, cause it thinks the car has rolled over, they hide them in the boot area. so I didnt want to move the computer if it does something like that, or ?

I have the r34 wiring diagrams but they need to be blown up to read, tiny as hell writing.

it takes me less then 5 min to strip out the whole back seat, side panels and rear deck area on my skyline, ..lol so not too much work to gut the computers out of there spot.. and park them under the rear seat or behind a side panel..lol coupe model

my dvd controls and a/c is different then yours, S2 car made in 9-2000 , so more a 2001 model year car..

thanks for your input mate, just confirms my suss

cheers

yea - if you doing the major project that stuff will be redundant

if you have wiring diagrams either post up or pm docs to me if you don't mind sharing - will to add to my info base - thanks

:)

hi~~ i wondered how you reuse that pop up screen by watching TV or watch DVD? i might get interested at reusing that screen as a TV~ how do i get DTV? Is that Xanavi screen touchable?

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
