so that pictured unit only picks up SD tv and not HD channels?

is there something that denotes that on the zylux website?

Yes unfortunately. But im not too fussed about it. Its still a digital tuner, just not HD.

When I ordered it, i was lead to believe that they only sell the new HD model now. So i didnt go out of my way to specify. Of course the old model turned up! Make sure you specify you want the new HD version.

I dont think the new model appears on the website yet. Here is the link for the one I got. Zylux tells me the only thing different about them is that the new one has the HD channels.

The rrp is around $500. JB cost price is $349. Offer them somewhere between $375 and $400 and you should get it.

That tuner looks pretty cool, the fact that its in English makes a difference. I will check again for this tuner.

Do you know whether our cars will play certain video files from CF card?

Not sure, Im still waiting for my CF card to arrive in the mail.. The tuner definatley plays all relevant formats though.

I ended up getting JB to reorder the correct HD tuner for me. I was hoping it would be a direct replacement wiring wise. Of course it wasnt. The plugs and wiring were different. Also the they changed I/R sensor plug meaning i had to pull apart the whole interior again to install it :down:..

Anyway the interface is a little different looking but still good. The reception and AV quality is awesome. The physical size of the unit is a little bit larger, i had to change the bracket location. The new one has HDMI output. One little complaint is that the old tuner used to power up as soon as you start the car, this one doesnt. As well as that, it takes a bit to get it going, you need to press the power button on the remote a few times before it comes on and stays on. I called Zylux and apparently thats just how this new model is.. I really want to get to the bottom of this so sort of still a work in progress. I did notice when i swapped over from the old model that they used a thinner gauge of wires for the power and grounds on the new one.. I wonder if that might have something to do with it...?

Anyway heres a few pics installed.

Hey guys, I have a question. I notice my car has the same panasonic digital tuner and from the tuner, there are 3 av plug-ins (usual red, yellow and white) which says AV in. However, I noticed that I don't have the 3 AV inputs in the center glove box although there are 3 holes underneath the japanese phone jack. Any idea if this is common and can I use the AV in from the tuner to run something to the car's monitor? Thanks!

Loving google chromes built in translate feature... Found the actual Jap install instructions.

Found the install that the Jap guys are doing, some put it in the boot, others go for the space under the arm rest and yep hook straight into the aux socket from behind, some ive seen even rewire the component plugs in the center console to the av input on their new tv tuner.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
