Hey guys

Currently I got a Maruhama something GPS Speed meter including Radar warner in my car. Well since that Alarm part is pretty illegal in Germany and the tool itself is pretty lower Quality, I am looking for a small Display which Shows me my current Speed. A really precise working one to be exact.

I do not want something like the Apexi RSM, just wire some power and done. I got so many cables still to check in my car, I really don´t Need additional....... ^^

Ofc I know the miled / km Thing, but some hints and tips would be great

Thanks a lot

Garmin do a GPS HUD that I was looking at a while ago (because I could get it cheap). Not sure if its what your after but it would only require power (probably has an inbuilt battery anyway if you didnt want to got that far even)

In the photo it shows speed/speed limit so its not the main focus when its navigating. I'm not real sure if you can get it to come up with speed when you arent navigating as the main item, but I think its pretty cool

Ye well actually I´m no frtiend of huds, really want an open front window. But thanks ofc for the help.

I do have a jdm navi in the car, maybe there is something that just gets the gps from the navi as kinda something like an add-on?

OFC I can´t use it since it´s completely Japan and so japanese maps, but would the gps care? Not sure about that :/

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
