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

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
