Hi All,

Just curious, has anyone ever installed the pop up OEM sat nav screen (not so concerned with the screen just the actual pop up mechanism and screen casing) in a m35 model that does not have the sat nav as standard (the one that has the mini glovebox instead)? Considering putting the screen in but would like to have it neat and 'stock looking'

If not any suggestions for nice places/methods of mounting a 7" screen?

thanks guys :)

Maybe do a double din conversion?

I'm looking at doing something similar. Although I have a double din fascia to go in, I already have a single din Pioneer PRS99 to install and will probably fill the gap with the Defi Din Gauge. For the monitor I am considering the Mimics X2 or a simple touchscreen and mini PC. As the navi buttons won't be needed I was just going to fill the space with a trim piece or something.

Someone in the States has already installed a touch screen in place of the OEM nav screen a few years ago in their Infiniti G35 (essentially the same interior). Dracov's CarPC. Stock Navi replacement DIY. The process would be similar for a Series 1 M35. As for installing the pop-up mechanism in a non-navi Stag, I can't see why (I hope) it can't be done so long as you get all the parts required and can get the little button on top to trigger the monitor to go up and down. As soon as I can get a navi monitor and trim I will be giving this a go anyway.

Just be aware that in Series 2 M35s, the stereo fascia (integrated or double din) is slightly taller (a few mms) on non-navi models. So if you get a navi pop-up screen the trim will overlap. This picture shows the difference - the non-navi is on the right.

This photo shows another idea for installing a screen (I think this is an SAU member's Stagea). If you're handy with fibreglass, this shouldn't be too hard to make. Unless someone knows where to source this item.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.

      Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
