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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
