Where's your sense of adventure?

Lol.

Sense of adventure? It's already proven that the only devices that can read our car's data from the OBD2 port is either the HKS OB-Link or the Greddy Informeter, neither of which has a video output...

That's why I said its not that easy. If it was I'd have my Rasperry Pi already to rock in the car. The HKS OB Link is feasible if someone can port their Android software to Debian...

Can't Raspberry Pi run Android?

One of the guys at work has one and I'm sure he said it could.

Yes it could, but why would I bother when I can get a $130 7" Android Tablet that's 4 times more powerful then a RasPi and already has GPS, BT, Touch input display, storage, etc?

I think if you want to utilise the existing pop up display, a RasPi Carputer would be good, if you want a intergrated look and more flexibility. Other wise a cheap Android Tablet can do it all for cheaper and safer too...

Then I'm confused why you want their software ported to Debian?

Because Leon suggested a Carputer and a OBD2 connector/cable would work in our car...

IF the HKS Android software was ported to Deb then yes Carputer would work (that's if you want to display all the ECU data). Even then you'll need some sort of touch screen hooked up...

If not then a cheap tab would work just as well, if not better.

You mean like this one?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Infinity-G35-2003-2004-CD-Stereo-Fascia-CT24NS09-/270718155547?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f080f3b1b#ht_2274wt_1393

There are a few options available, I have one here on an RS wreck too. What colour are you after though?

Did a language conversion for someone that had one of these. Buttons look abit out of place but worked perfectly and they were very pleased

Ahh.... we're talking about 2 different things by the looks of it. You appear to want a solution that does everything, including a touch screen overlay to change stuff as you go, correct? Which would be very nice, btw.

I was only talking about displaying a handful of gauges on the screen (as well as having a multimedia player). The UpRev Cipher cable will do that, but there may be cheaper ones around that can read enough of the OBD data to give you something to play with.

After some hunting down thru ebay I found these shit all over the metro kit at least the buttons look geniune.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-INFINITI-NISSAN-SKYLINE-G35-DOUBLE-DIN-DASH-KIT-BLACK-AC-CONTROL-/251132440464?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a78a8ef90

Alrdy purchased 1 of those oem items listed in the above post, Actuallt found it cheaper than the other kits out there thru stereo mobs.

I did purchase the metro kit but opened it up & the buttons looked so tacky, so sent it straight back. Got my money back than bam purchased that 1

Not a bad price for what it is, especially compared to CAMP2.

Only problem is you need an Android powered head unit.

Or any tablet with a browser (mainly linked to it for ironpaw). But using a dual DIN head unit to display gauges would be very cool :cool:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
