Chris, this unit has a DVD player in the boot which uses the xanavi Cd to use the Navigation unit.

Makes me wonder that if i replace the DVD player and buy a whole new in dash system with navi, i could prolly use the the same brackets / wiring and wont have to do whte whole thing over. agree?

it has a satellite thing that sits on the dashboard.

WOW GUYS GUESS WHAT!?!? Just then on my drive, I turned the ignition, decided to press the open button (I do this everytime I go for a drive) and this time, the head unit opened!!!! It was amazing, it worked for about 2 minutes, the CD player too!! The CD player I left in there it went off for sure!! I heard a subwoofer at the back which I didn't know if it still worked, maxed out the speakers for those 2 minutes, then all of a sudden, it went dead, nothing displayed on the screen and the CD player didnt work anymore... WHY is this so? Connection problems? Should I take it apart and rewire the connections!?

If any of you have any links to good cheap systems / know anywhere around this side of melbourne / vic that would do stuff like this pls let me know.

thanks

If you need a replacement of those units in your dash, I've got the lot for sale lol.

It's from a R34 GTR, but I think it should be exactly the same? Also have a boot carpet with a factory CD stacker, and lastly a din pocket with lid lol.

another question

I was watching Top gear (s01e04) where they review R34's. They show that the screen in car shows the onboard computer logistics as they drive. is this possible for all r34's or whats the deal?

Yup, it's definitely possible, many people have that conversion.

Turbo or NA, both works, it's just that if you put it into an NA, it will only show throttle, rev light, oil temp, injectors, voltage.

But a MFD (multi function display) is costly, can cost anywhere between $600-$1000. I just sold one without looms for $600.

Here's a pic of my R34 GTT interior.

I have the same setup as grey in my skyline, is it possible to just change the pop up screen to like a GPS or something.. i also went to JB HI-FI and they said they can change the head unit and put a new frame and that for just over a $100 is that worth it ?

gotta love these people that think cheap is the way to go. its not. to do it correctly it is a AC controller swap,panel swap and then a screen swap.

that screen is data driven and has to see data from the navi system first BEFORE it will fire up. without the navi system its just about useless.

I have one to do on thursday and I will post a few pics up on the shop facebook page.

i dont really care about the screen or nav system that came with it, was just wondering if i got rid of whats in there already could i replace it with something else

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
