still trying to figure out where to put a 10" screen... looks like I'll end up making a fibreglass centrepiece for it to fit under, above my double DINs... thank god for fibreglass...

strutto - wat brand are ur monitors?

wats the picture quality like?

The brand is Super... The box has a big "Using SHARP technology" slogan to fool unwary customers :D I have seen better quality screens for sale elsewhere but they are over double what I paid for 2...

The picture quality is fine. Not Loewe TV quality, thats for sure... But good enough for a car...

HTH

That's the model that uses the recycled sharp LCD panels. So yeah, it is actually Sharp the controller is made in house at the manufacturing plant in China, and the controller chip comes from Taiwan, from a company called MCE Microelectrics. :D

MJ,

I've got three young boys so it's mainly to keep them entertained on long drives... Shrek, Monsters Inc, Willy Wonka, The Emperors New Groove, Repeat :D

We drove to Sydney recently and it was excellent on the way... We hired out about 6 DVD's and it really helped to pass the time... We do quite abit of travelling as the nearest relos are about 4 hrs away.

But wank factor 110% for sure! Only reason I did it in the first place was cause a mate has a V8 Soarer with a dash screen that he got working with a DVD player... Then he got a roof mount as well! The effect on his kids was astounding... And I couldn't let him outdo me :D

But day to day - we don't even turn it on... When we're travelling - it's worth it's weight in gold considering what it cost me. :(

I know cos I was looking into importing em in quantity to sell here, coz shops like autobarn n other retailers put a 200% markup on the units. So I was contacting most manufacturers in China n Taiwan about their stuff.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
