hi all,

not gona lie... i miss the 260... so the rs4 is likely to be converted in the not to distant future.

just a thaught... i also want to get onto Chook Re tv receivers,

how ever i know you cannot watch these whilst the cars in drive... how ever with the manual box in. what gear would xanavi think im in??

im pretty sure an answer on how an auto stag can 'watch-drive' hasn't been found yet... would it cut me off all together? or do you think it would let me?.... im bout to do nisstune? maybe theres something in there we might be able to play with?? who knows??

if i unplugged all the plugs on the auto box, and had a crack at using the stock tv... would i get an answer??

cheers :verymad:

Aren't the tv tuners/displays hooked up to the handbrake switch, anyway? So I'm guessing it wouldn't matter what gear you were in, or if the car was auto or manual - as long as the handbrake is on, it will display. So if you "short out" that wire (or put a switch on it) to make the display think the handbrake is on, then it will work fine.

it does read the gears, easiest way is plug in those japanese overide boxes, http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/kong/y0000002983.html, about $130 if you have contact in japan. You are unlucky you dont have one fitted already from japan, have you checked behind your screen ? Otherwise you could spend hours trying to work out the wiring, as from memory probably around 40 wires into the xanavi unit. Think Andy does a solution for the M35's, not sure if this would be the same in the C34s.

If your coming to the stagea cruise on sunday i might be able to have a look. If its the same as the M35 then there will be a speed sensor wire that blocks the screen when you hit 5kmph and the hand brake that blocks the screen. I have an override box for an M35 if its the same as C34 you can buy that. Ill try and check some drawings later.

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
