Does anyone know what this is?

When I purchased my 1996 Nissan Skyline GTS25t Series II it came with what looks like a genuine Nissan projector system (as it has Nissan markings on it) on the roof of the car and some sort a transparent screen that sit on the dashboard.

The dealer didn't know what is was and I have tried emailing every importer in the hopes that they have seen it before but no-one has seen anything like it before.

The only buttons it has on the projector are the on/off switch and what appears to be a dimmer switch. When it is turned on all it displays on the screen is a red/orange coloured light and a green light. The screen has no buttons and appears to be just stuck on the dash with double sided tape. The screen rotates around and moves up and down so you can adjust it to your seating position.

If anyone knows what it is or can recommend a place that might can you please help me.

Agree'd. It also seems a little odd to put a HUD in the centre of the dash, out of the drivers direct line of view. I would go with some kind of GPS display or something, who knows. It aint an easy one, that's for sure.

If it is a HUD then you should still get the speedo and tacho readings on it.

YLWGTR - The little knob on the front is what makes the screen move up and down. You can adjust it so that the lights from the projector can be seen within the screen.

I don't think the thing on the roof is an air purifier as it has the two light in it and a dimmer switch that allows you to get a better look at the lights in the screen when the outside light changes.

Well, what ever it is I seem to be the only one who has got one. I think the only way to find out what it is is to follow the wires and see where it leads me.

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
