thanks for the guide, great info to have all in one place.

any word back on the possibility of an HDMI input special?

Sorry, I forgot to post the reply I got last Thursday from "Richard" in China.

Dear leon,

I got your meaning and transfered it to the manufactory. It is realizable to do that, however they have to change the components parts and it will make a big change of the inner structure and the outer shell.

One important point is not the cost, but the production run. The Min order to them is 500pcs, but I will do my best to discuss with them, please keep contact with me for this issues.

I'll ask them again once they've had a chance to think about it for a while. Hopefully they will be able to produce a couple of samples. Otherwise you might need to find 499 other people who want one :unsure: .

big change to inner and outer doesn't sound at all positive.

and no, unfortunately i don't have 499 friends...

keep me posted, but if there's no positive news within the next week or 2 i'll just go with the normal version and put a converter in

Haha. I wouldn't know 499 people, let alone have that many friends either.. I will keep you posted tho

Cheers, Leon.

With the help of Leon, i got my tuner installed today!

AMAZING!

love it to bits, great install, top quality product with alot of features!

TOP QUALITY PRODUCT!

clear, even while driving.

Thanks again Leon. if anyone else wants any information on the tuner from a customer prospective... just ask me.

Aww, shucks :blush: . What a glowing review.

I'm glad you are happy with it. It was an easy install for me - you did all the work & I just talked about cars :thumbsup: .

It was just confirmed that the manufacturer won't do a small production run (less than 500) of tuners with a HDMI input.

They added the AV input to the ones I got becuase that feature was part of the existing chipset & didn't require too much rejigging. I think the HDMI input requires more extensive R & D.

Sorry, there's no good news. :(

12v HDMI to composite converter?

I think he has/can get an RCA - HDMI cable (or converter) but was concerned about loss of quality going from digital to analog & wanted to keep the signal digital for as long as possible..

I don't think there will be much difference since the OEM screen is low res anyway - unless the idea was to run it into a HD screen

I don't think you will see any difference in quality if you get a HDMI to RCA or composite converter unless you are running a 50 inch screen in your car?

Now there's an idea! I'll measure up the back to see if one will fit. The vehicles behind would love it if it was faced out the back... :laugh: .

have got the TV tuner installed and works a treat. Really good product. I am quite surprised at signal quality. The reason I am posting this is that I would recommend the tuner to anyone with a V or M35.

Installation wasn't to hard either , for a novice like me anyway , lol

yes i have to agree it is a great product. I ended up pulling half my boot lining down and finding the 2 x clarion antennas and wireing them up. The only issue i have with it is the reception when i am traveling. When the car is sitting still picture is clear but when i travel it seams to drop out alot. I feel that around my area i get crap reception but that shouldnt account for everywhere. May also be my tuner box as one of the arial jacks snapped off the curcuit board and i had to solder it back on. great product and exerlent service

Was it the f-type aerial connector on the new tuner that broke Josh? If it was faulty let me know & I'll send you another one. You should get good reception pretty much all over Brisbane. There may be a few dead spots behind big buildings & hills, but my (very brief) testing there showed great results.

it was the very top arial f connector that you plug into. female port. ive never had good reception with my install. only when stationary. may just be a black sheep

I'll send you another so you can swap it out to test. Could also be a stray 'hair' of the shield braid touching the centre conductor on one of the aerial coaxs, but will be easier to fault find with another tuner.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
