Hi All,

Do you know where if at all anyone here in WA can fit the GTR34 center LCD console...

I went down to local radio & hifi shop and they had some interesting double din lcd tv / cd players that had a g sensor and gps .. some pioneer deck .. cant remember what it was but that started me wishing for an r34 lcd.

But other than that what other decks you think are cool to have on a skyline.

Or get a single din, foldout LCD and run a CarPC with Datascan..

Have you even thought about what you would do with the GTR screen? are you hoping you get all the fancy GTR readouts? because I don't think that's going to happen by just installing the screen :D

Ok giving it a miss then, Datascan is a bit overkill, just wanted it for the wow factor.

Not overkill, very handy for troubleshooting, diagnostics and peace of mind :P

I was running it in the skyline on the carpc for a couple of years and am putting a similar setup in the wagon soon.

Cool, could you point me to some links on what it can do and looks like / where to get it. Maybe a photo of your own setup?

This is the PC I have (I have two, one installed in the Skyline, one waiting to be installed in the Stagea): http://www.mini-box.com/VoomPC-2-Car-PC-Ba...mp;category=101

I had to get a hdd, dvd drive and a stick of ram locally.

I was running a 7" in-dash LCD (these aren't cheap, if you don't want it to fold away then you can go for something cheaper), that screen has been removed to go into the Stagea and I will be putting a USB touchscreen in the Skyline.

No pics of the setup :) I did have some up on the forums a couple of years ago just after I installed the setup but they are gone :P

Ok this looks plausible.. I'm thinking along the lines of a touch screen and windows media center ... maybe asking a too much lol..

Hard part is interfacing the PC to engine telemetry, how would one actually tap into the cars ecu.

Theres a guy on here who had a pretty decent setup.

7" double din touchscreen, search for liliput touchscreen on the american ebay and thats what he was using , cost 450 or so i think

Had a little netbook in the glovebox nad was using centrafuse media centre or something to control it

Had a consult cable and that as well.

If you were gonna set something up, I'd do this.

Pretty much the same as my setup except I used a dedicated carpc with a proper 12v dc-dc power supply (intelligent, it won't just cut power when you turn the car off, I have mine set to wait 30 seconds then soft-off the PC).

Interfacing to the engine telemetry is easy, I ran a consult cable permanently plugged into the carpc. I used Nissan Datascan for the data and/or logging, they even have a carpc version now that is more purely for readouts than diagnostics/logging.

7" single din touchscreen, also have a trackball stashed next to the transmission tunnel for fiddly stuff and have been meaning to get a roll-up keyboard.

I use RoadRunner as a front end to play music/videos/etc but mostly sit on the Datascan dashboard screen with RPM and Water Temp gauges, RPM and speed alert.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
