Ive got a 7" screen in my dash area in my car. I see the computer they got in the R34 GTR and its quite mint.

Is something like this achievable? Are there any kits which can output data via a tv out cable to input into my headunit?

Damn it would be nice to make something so simple like that. I'm seriously surprised no one has thought of it. Just need a little computer I guess which reads all the sensors and displays them on-screen.

I could do something using a carputer, but would be limited as I would have NO idea how to get readings from the car into a windows operating system...

Check out this pic.

Greedy I think just bought out a touch screen engine monitoring system or it may have been one of the other big Japanese brands. I guess there would be a way to wire something like this to your screen but at the end of the day it would be cheaper/easier to just use the unit itself

If the genuine gtr items were cheap enough they would be the go. But I'd say to do one as you want would require some sort of mini computer in the car and a custom

program?

But if you could find someone to do this I'm sure there would be a market for it. I have a 7 inch screen in my car and something like that would be cool to check vitals. Especially seen as I could run it behind my music/iPod playing

If you running the stock ecu or a piggy back you could use a real basic computer setup and use the ECUtalk software and cable. it has a whole stack of available software with different displays. A few are vey close to your pic. Thatd be the easiest way i can think off.

The EPSON system isnt a screen, its a computer that connects to the NISMO screen. I have the NISMO screen dash in my car, but I dont have the EPSON system sadly.

Another option is the HKS CAMP or CAMP2 system. A quick Google search should give you the info you need.

These are the ones to go for, i have had the epsom ej1 and found it to be very lacking, espensive and hard to find, the hks ones seem to be a lot better and a lot easier to get a hold of and both have an rca out to plug into any screen, they would also have some sort of customer support, from my research the ej1 was never sold retail, it only came out in certain models as an oem product which means getting any sort of support is impossible.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
