My Thoughts are....

Its about damn fkn time!!!

im so sick of the current ICE models atm with laggy ass screens and touchscreens that dont work properly or even some decent gui layouts.

The sizing is really close to normal double dinn standard .

Only a matter of time before adapters get made for mass markets.

Im keen to fit one in the GTT.

Thoughts?

where the hell would u fit the normal ipads on the gtt? i think itll be abit overkill D:

if someone makes ipad mini mounts for the gtt , ill buy it... for sure

The ipad 2 fits just fine in stock radio location with customization ( perm mount) you could make it slide out near drivers legs without drama , not graceful but doable, I have a spare dash and have tested it already

The mini would pop right in with minimal fuss

Dont have a mini or i would build one

The mini would fit in popup dash as well

wonder if its possible to grab a ipad mini model version , like ones of those fakie mobile phones

I know doug and the other guys in the video , they will have generic ipad mini pans for sale and would send one down if anyone wants one?

ipad mini isnt on my radar since ipad fits in gtt and has a bigger screen ,

its not a big deal to mold one , just takes time and a mini to use?? it would fit older skylines ??

for those wondering the ipad fits in the factory radio hole behind the factory dash contour and butts up to the ac controls fine

Some shifter surround mods and remolding but in my case I cut out the ashtray and lighter and ripped apart and recast 3 gauges flush fit in the spot instead

In carbon lol

No need for smoking items

tbh, i think having the original ipad would be a lil bit overkill n i'd prefer to keep the stock smokers try n kit just to keep it looking original n flush.

just my opinion , retina display would be madness tho =D

got any pics of ur finished product with the normal ipad mould?

I dont have the ipad dash in my car its mocked up on the bench , i have thought about popping it in my car but my current setup rebuild plans would need tweeking , it would be a downgrade on some cases

I do have some mock up photos on my laptop i think showing the process to refinish the dash etc

lots of build log photos etc just havent had time to publish it

you could keep the ashtray etc just i'm a serious hater of smokers lol

Bought a smoke free car from japan which is a miracle to find lol

Sure chris I'll dig up some photos of fitment on the bench think the car test fit ones are still on the camera

The parts are all over ebay same ones as the phone uses ???

Those guys had it in 2 hrs not a big deal if you know what your doing its as fast as the resin dries speed wise? but i would prefer to think it out and make it perfect not a wart on the dash

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
