Hi Guys

Haven't been here for a while, how are you guys?

Anyways, i thought i might share with you guys my second attempt at installing a car pc. Even though the first time installed ok, i kinda think i was just pushing it a bit by force mounting the lcd on the dash pocket. This time i got a double din LED and took out the head unit. Looks a lot more cleaner and i can view it under direct sunlight! I'm still using the eeepc setup and still saving up for a proper pc with dc to dc psu. At the moment i'm using a Metra double din kit, which IMO is a little tacky and the buttons are a pain to press. But that's all i could afford back then.

Major improvements over the old setup include : OBD gauges, Bluetooth, Soundblaster X-FI (made a whole lot of difference to the audio quality) direct wiring instead of cigarette lighter plug :yucky:, and the latest version of Centrafuse (3.5)

Some technical specs for those of you interested:

- Lilliput EBY701 + ByByte double din frame

- eeepc 901 , 2gb ram, 64GB kingspec ssd

- SB X-Fi Pro USB Soundard

- Blazt II OBD Scanner / reader

- Sirf III GPS dongle

Btw, my old JVC AVX-910 is now for sale. For anyone interested PM me, Price : $400 Ono. This baby can play most files no worries and have an excellent audio quality. Originally bought 2 years ago for $750.

Hi, I have basically finished my PC (built and Installed software) and its ready to plug into and mount in my car this weekend; finally!.

One of the peripherals is the Blazt cable. My PC will be mounted in the boot, with USB cables running into the cabin connecting things like my OBD. My concern is that the USB cable run may be a bit long for the Blazt cable. Even though USB2 is defined as having a 5m maximum length, I think the blatzt cable is said have a recommendation of being no greater than 2m from the USB port; It comes with a 2m cable.

My question, how long is your distance between the Blazt cable and the PC? and have you had any problems with this length?

Hey

I pretty much have the same setup. I ran 3 5M USB extension lead from the boot to the glovebox at the front. The blazt is connected to one of the port.

No problems whatsoever. It's just as responsive as when you hook it up straight to a laptop :)

    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
