So after doing a bit of reading (thanks search function!) it is fairly obvious that the Xanavi unit in the GT-T is more or less uselss as a GPS, but can be used to pump out DVD's/TV if the unit is still functional.

I was just curious as to what other people have managed to achieve with the screen. I am sure that the combination of time + loads of cash = whatever the hell you want but I wanted to know what people have done to get different functionality out of the unit so I can start to suss out my options.

From what I have read it seems like the main options are:

- Ripping the whole thing out and sticking a triple gauge cluster in.

- Hooking a converter or after market DVD system up in the boot to at least get video options.

- I have seen a couple of fancy pants in car computer setups as well.

What else has been done? Has anyone successfully managed to get GPS up and running using a system such as this.

I love the idea of having the in dash Nav/DVD as an option but if it is too much hassle to get up and running then I might just go with the triple gauge as a replacement instead.

yep that can be done. buy the garmin unit and from there do one of two things. replace the screen with a 7" motorised drop in. (I have a few of these) then punch that navi through it and route the audio via the drivers door. the screens I use are a 3 input item and you can punch a camera into them as well. OR hack the stock system. its easier to start fresh with the stock system removed and the correct ac controller in place..

To get that all changed over (stock system removed, new AC controller etc) that would also require the double DIN face plate, new brackets and something to stick into said DIN slots (as well as the new AC facia.) The AC unit it's self is the same for both positions, just with the different facia and brackets to hold it all in correct?

At least getting all new face plates would save me the trouble of repainting them all :P The car I'm taking ownership of in a couple of days is showing signs of peeling/scratches on a lot of the plastics. Got to love the shitty pain on the R34's...

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
