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.

Im with YLWGTR on this one, I think the thing on the roof is an air purifier, and the lights that 'projection' thats shines on the 'screen' could actually just be a directional light to make it easier to read maps, or notepads while at night or day etc..

thats my 2c

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
