Does anyone out there know where I can get 1999 R34 GTR MFD Sharp LCD screens. The sun shagged mine so I need another one and I'm not to keen on buying the whole display unit. Any help would be most appreciated as I've trolled the net and cant find anything.

Thanks

Is the inside of the screen all cracked? If so, it's the polaroid film.

Which can be bought for about $15 posted, takes about 20mins to replace and done, you'll have a brand new screen again :)

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Get it from 3Dlens Coporation in Taiwan.

You need to remove AC vents, MFD shroud, unplug MFD, unscrew the screen, unplug the screen, remove glass lens, remove old film, clean screen, apply new screen.

It's probably a job that I'd do it for $60-70 inc film :)

Thanks heaps Charles !

This i can do myself i just need 2 get the film :thumbsup:

No worries at all :)

Mine looks very similar. Will the film replacement job fix the "orange boarder" around my screen where the peeling is at its worst?

Yup it would. Colours from a LCD screen will look distorted without that film or with a bad film. So once you replace it, it will look brand new again.

Charles i did the screen last nite.

Man it wasnt easy !!! hahahaha

Takin off the old film was a misson

But the end result is well worth it

Screen is brand new again woot woot !

Thanx heaps :thumbsup:

Haha good to hear mate :)

Getting to the screen wasn't that hard, but pulling the old film off and cleaning is the hardest part lol.

Post up a pic :P

Oh and also, for those who hasn't done it yet, make sure no dust or ANY particles or residue gets under the new film, as it will look like a dead pixel once you turn it on haha, happened to me, true story :P

Lots and lots of elbow grease and some bug spray to clean off the dregs.

What a marathon! But it does look a thousand times better than when I started, and keeping it out of the sun is priority number 1 from now on.

Thanks Charles89 you saved me a fortune!

No worries mate, glad I saved you from buying a new screen :)

Maybe post up a pic of your new screen :P

Anyone from Brisbane attempted this? Im worried I would screw something up he he...

Lol, unless you accidently stab your screen with a screwdriver, you aren't gonna stuff it up :P

A few advices if you attempt it.

-Remember how to pulled it apart

-Make sure you carefully pull our the screen plug from the board.

-Be patient when cleaning the screen after you pull off original film, because 1 dot of residue = 1 dead pixel.

-Make sure you put all the screws back in afterwards

Trust me, if you can opperate a screwdriver and have a decent enough memory to remember where everything goes, you will be fine :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
