fair enough.. so i want to change the headunit but my r34 is different to most.. what do i need to do just to change the head unit, most likely chuck out the stock tv thing and would you recommend anyone in melb ?

well this is what i did to mine, i just removed the headunit (radio bit but can be any bit of it u want) then unplug the back cables (takes some skill u gotta find this button and pull hard, you might break a finger nail in the process) find a headunit you like either online or at your local car audio shop (i got mine from autobarn which was a bit pricey but i dont care) rewire and solder everything according to the nissan wiring diagram and put it back in (either get custom made panels to fill the sides or just use foam and paint it black).

Or just go down to autobarn/repco - get an R34 -> ISO plug, and then get the appropriate ISO plug for your headunit and not worry about soldering at all.

(If you're really bored, you could just take the R34->ISO plug and at least use that to adapt to the headunit wiring, so you're not cutting factory wiring)

With regards to using custom made panels or foam - do it properly. Get the right air conditioner panel, the right nissan-provided panels. They're really not that expensive, and you get a proper finish. You have a Nissan Skyline R34 not a $500 sigma wagon with 450,000km on it.

I took the second option with mine originally - but I've been doing stereos for over 10 years. R34->ISO plug, chopped the ISO off, solder and heatshink onto the headunit loom. No cutting of factory wiring, and no dramas.

Since then and moving to a carpc setup, I've modified it so that the speakers go off into their own plug, and that plug hooks to the speaker output wires back in the custom amp shelf in the boot... I like things being nice and tidy. Ideally for better signal I would run my own speaker wiring, but eh .. lazy.

exactly. what you have now done it make a giant mess of things. the byproduct of course is that something doesn't work.

JRM,

I have a strip/refit to do on thursday. once done the system will play DVDs, have a working sat nav that talks via the drivers dooe and a reverse camera. customer did not opt for digital TV.

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.

Awesome mate,all your interior panels.Is that real carbon fibre ? How much did it cost you to get and install that MFD ?

Also where did you buy your steering wheel,I've been searching one for ages and most of them comes without an airbag which is illegal ?

Thanks

Edited by Jeremy1607

that is DI Noc from 3m not real carbon fibre. I can get some below retail and might be setting up a group buy of it soon.

there is a few other options real carbon

or hydroprinting carbon I can supply photos of all the above.

and 3M has new products in the line up as well.for 2011

GREY,

this is what it SHOULD look like.

understand??

chris that looks amazing, i've already finished mine, but unfortunately i did a rough job on it, how did you get those custom panels at the two sides? as it is a non turbo i'm not going to pour money into it

The custom panels aren't actually custom. They are the factory standard double DIN facia and sleeves from a non-turbo 34 that didn't have the navi option.

Also, Chris did a bang up job with this instalation, I should know as that's my car :)

boz,

ta!

I have a S15 to do the EXACT same thing to next week. he WANTS the popup screen in the dash area with navi and TV and a camera. I'll take a few piccies of that one when I do it.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
