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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
