Garmin have maps, but we need someone that can somehow hack them and allow them to display in the Xanavi system we have.

You wouldn't know anyone like that would you? :whistling:

Maybe talk to Chris Rogers on what needs to be done... or search, I think it was covered somewhere in here last year or the year before

I might, but you would need to get an original garmin map for me, thats up to date.

And it would need to be hacked everytime it gets updated. not only that I would need an extra SAT NAV system out of a stag that I can give to him to hook up at home..

to be totally honest though the only thing that screen is good for is a trip computer and a reversing camera. (and even that needs hacking in.) forget about the rest.

if you want navi - bite the bullet and pop a 2DIN unit in there. far more effective and you gain a lot over the OEM setup and save sanity when the 6cd packs up.

and a certain one at that.

at one time I was going to do drop in units for these. I may still do that..

thing being though most of you lot won't pay for the time it takes to actually set one up properly in these cars so most of the time I tend not to bother..

my point exactly. may as well just go buy a GPS it would be a quarter of the price aswell.

F me .. All the geeks in the world and getting the sat nav to work in oz is like trying to get to mars! What a joke.

So this seriously can't be done? At all? So devo right now

champagne taste on a beer budget... seriously. if you are absolutely DEAD keen on doing this work out how to code a hitachi SH4 processor, reverse engineer the OEM unit at a hardware AND software level then give the solution away.. that is pretty much the question you asked.

the shorter answer is NO! not possible.

search me on this topic and you will see a few other ways of skinning this car. most are a 4 figure exercise..

meah if its cant be done that way then there has to be an after market device that can be patched into the factory screen without interrupting the other functions.

4 figures... f**k that,,, just use my head... costs nothing

you can get a garmen gvn for $450

no offence at all intended... but 4 figures... really?

You can put an aux AV signal into the factory tuner that can display whatever you like. Got a gps with AV output? Why not a Carputer or tablet/mobile device? Plenty of options. Do a search on TV tuners for starters as there's answers on how to interface with the tuner/screen & all sorts of infomation & ideas to get you thinking about the possibilities.

Get a samsung 7" Galaxy tab. Stick to existing 7" display with double sided tape. done. $450...

:rofl2:

Or spend 1-2K on an aftermarket double DIN GPS/Media player...

your choice. Not sure why people are so caught up with using the stock display for GPS...

I mean, do you really want to use this to control the GPS?

I'd rather be able to remove it from the car & use in my other car; or replace it when it gets old.

I rarely even use the display anyway, if I had my time again; I'd have the pocket, and set the Navman up in there.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
