this was the first item I had installed into my 35.....and it is simply fantastic for the price.

Infact, I got 2 of them, one for my brother's R34....some 3 months ago now.

The telephone, radio, DVD and GPS functions are great....so too the seperate SD card reader/player.

The TV is an absolute joke!...not worried about that too much.

So far..both unit's are fine....but can get glitchy if the GPS unit is not completely turned off prior to ignition off. ie. (keys out)...I've found.

A simple soft re-set gets them going properly again.

Their 'build quality' is akin to something you'd win from a 'shootem-up' gallery at the circus.......So only time will really tell.

so far so good!....best 440 buh I ever spent on car entertainment....(yep, u can get them even cheaper than that).

If it breaks after a year, I'll get another one.

Just my 3 cents.

Interesting split view =)

I'd agree with Chris Rogers, only in that he clearly knows his electronics.

In saying that, im IT minded so i tend to go for more robust systems and technical knowledge.

In saying THAT, i don't disregard superspit's input! =/

What a dilemma you have!

Chris are all those no brand double din systems on ebay garbage? Is that the reason you say dont bother?

pretty much. the transports die in them, lasers die suddenly. drop down faces get stuck. software hangs and thats the $300 ones.

I get emails from shenzen (china) offering me these things for $150USD all day long. those go into the bin. I see them as junk and as such after fitting several and having to pull several back out I quit fitting them.

if you are into pulling your car apart in 6 weeks -> 6 months go for it. myself I prefer to put things in once.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
