The head deck in my partners new car plays dvds, but doesnt disable when the hand break is on.

How do i remedy this?

Had no luck finding info anywhere...

Can I ask why you want too ?

Quite often the installers do this on purpose (yes I know not leagle blah blah)

No, I dont want to watch tv when driving, we need it to not play when driving cos rego are being tools about the fact that it still plays. It is only a cheap chinese unit, and we are gonna replace it, but the replacement wont arrive before the rego check is due to be completed.

The previous owner installed it and it can play dvds at any time, not that we even tested that ourselves... But for rego it needs to not play dvds when driving....

which i dunno how that works if she is using the dvd player to play an dvd full of mp3s not watching movies... but rego blah blah blah.. ideas please?

Yes there will be a wire behind the unit that is connected to ground, that is not the main ground wire. You need to connect that wire to the hand brake signal. How you do this is entirely up to you...

Last time I did one the wire was pink, but it will probably be different. Will usually be a really skinny wire (similair to a "remote" output wire that goes to an amp). Easiest way is to splice it into the handbrake light wires.

I was worried they would knock us for having it out thinking we'd just put it back in or that there was a hole in the dash, but they told me the same, that can do that.

the mrs is getting a new better deck any hoo, but will take a couple of weeks from the US.

Thanks Verms, but i can install in no worries. It was only trying to work out how to make the current dvd player compliant.... But they told me i can just remove it and i wont get bounced for the open dash area, so that wil do till the new one comes in the next week or two.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
