M35 Tv/satnav Setup, Can You Buy One?

Just a quick one...

Since im still looking for that perfect M35 im constantly comming across M's with out some of the features im after... sunroof's, tv, aerokit. But since the sunroofs would be way too much $$$ and i dont like cutting a perfectly good roof up, and an aerokit could be quite pricey considering you would have to blend half the car to get a good finish on the paint (slight perfectionist that i am)... This leads me to thinking if I were to buy an M without the tv sat nav gear what would you need to get it all going?

Questions I have are...

Can you get the tv unit and run other gps through it?

Has anyone pulled one of these out and seen what inputs are in the tv itself?

What are the odds of finding the tv and stuff in oz (thinking IM would ahve to be the go to get this gear)

What would it cost? vs difficulty of install...

Thanks in advance....

since the TV unit needs a $400 aftermarket tuner and the Nav doesn't work at all and probably never will (no aussie maps), all you are getting is the fuel consumption stuff basically.

I'd say go for an aftermarket double DIN GPS TV DVD unit to repace the stereo and seriously just buy one with sunroofs and aero.

Mine has the TV etc but in hindsight I would have preferred the aero and I do miss sunroofs. I have had an in dash double din touchscreen allin one nit before and it rocked. The pop screen is cool factor only really, and by the time i've putmy aero kit on and got it painted I would have paid enough for a cusotm pop up screen install i reckon.

I think you would be best getting your M without the TV/Sat Nav option if that is a the one compramise you have to make. The sat Nav will not work in Australia will not work anyway. The TV is an easy fix for about $400.

If you can get one with the single din head unit you can look to choose an aftermarket head unit that has GPS/DVD/TV & ipod input.

That would be my preference.

but if I was to buy the pop up tv itself are you able to use it as an av out option from an after market headunit?

The factory screen is NTSC only so you will need a unit that outputs to NTSC.

I don't know enough about the how the screen plugs into the system so can not answer. Chris Rogers would probably know the answer to this question.

Come along to the meet tomorrow any I am sure you will see a few different solutions.

as Andy said it's NTSC as per Japan TV. You can buy the screens off importMstr as they come up all the time but I don't know whether it'd be cost effective. I think you'dprob have to get a fair bit of work done to fit the OEM screen to a car that didn't have it.

You'd certainly be able to buy a cable to get a aftermarket deck to send vid to the screen but the deck would have to output ntsc.

Maybe consider buying a local DVD unit and adding a screen. There's plenty of places around who can do nice custom work to make up a screen and you could get it to deploy from the dash, or even more :).

this is my localguy and there's examples in his gallery of pop up screens:

On the G35 Driver site there is also a couple of threads about installing screens in the OE position. There are companies in the US making a mechanism that will go up and down like the factory.

I was looking at a 7 inch touch screen monitor that from China that looked interesting. Would be good to fit that the OE mechanism and then you can really have some fun.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
