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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
