I have a touchscreen LCD screen in my 32 GTR and plan on reading in sensor values to display what the engine is doing.

Has any one got gauge pictures/3d models i can use for this. I suck at art work but can do the programming/3d rendering needed.

Would like it to look like the 35 display if possible.

Any artists wanna help out?

not sure if I have time but , what format do you need them in? what software do you plan on using to interface. what software to render 3D?

what gauges do you need , colours? what size? resolution is the screen running? bit depth?

its going to be a mountain of work to interface program ,might be easier to use existing software and tricking that out to your specs,colours?

what OS is your car pc running?

Any format but .x/3ds max formats would be great. I am making the interface my self. MS Visual C++ and will probably use .Net 3.5 frame work.

Renderer will be Direct 3D. Need AFR/Lambda, oil pressure, RPM, Boost PSI/BAR, Injector Duty. Colour and size dont matter as this can be changed to suit at run time. Screen size it 640x480 and 16-32 bit is fine.

Mountain of work????? Nah this sort of thing is pretty simple, Try rendering a massive landscape with trees and water with shadow now thats a bit of a job this sort of thing is hell easy.

RPM and injector duty will come from Consult the rest will come from a handy usb device that reads voltage.

Car PC is an Asus EEEPC running a cut down version of Windows XP.

Thats pretty awsome.

Slowly working on my system will have to build it with "Programmer Art"

I cant run and incar test ATM as my EEEPC is currently strapped to the handle bars of a Yamaha Banshee for tunning our custom fuel injection system.

Hopefully it survives.

I'm also trying to do this sorta' thing. I've got an Apexi AVCR and wanna put in a Vi-pec ecu, and then run the combined load of readouts through my laptop. Anybody got any idea if that's even feasible?

Check out the ADC they use for Nistune that what im using for now untill I get an embedded device working with video out.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
