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?

I like it.

Chris, could you set something up.

-audio express

I already have generic fibreglass mounts available , carbon is a well

Ipad full size fit in gtt fine

Ipad minis even easier

with factory look

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

Edited by Carbon 34

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?

These guys did a mini within 2 hrs of release!

The sell all the parts you need to DIY also, incl the moulded pans etc.

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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
