Out of curiousity, from the way that I understand it in QLD (and possibly the other states) it is illegal to view tv via an a/v display if the handbrake isn't on.

But is it still illegal to have the a/v display on if it is your only way of selecting songs etc (ie. one of those single din all in one units)?

Furthermore, what is the fine/points for such an offence?

Cheers guys!

What clearance? Ground or screen? :)

You can just install a switch inline with the handbrake wire so when the handbrake is on the TV is on, but when the handbrake is down the tv is off but you could flick the switch to turn it on. I know its not totally legal, but a small switch down the side of your centre console is not noticable at all, when you get pulled over etc.

i have a screen mounted infrount of the passenger and it has a switch on the dsh to turn on and off and i have had not problems with it since i got off my p's

My wife's car turns the video off when moving forward ie; speedo sensor input. The display still works for everything else (trip computer, sat nav etc) when moving forward. It doesn't turn off when reversing though, probably for a rear vision camera (if it had one).

This only applies to the screen the driver can see, the other screens (the ones the driver can't see) still work when moving.

:wub: cheers :wub:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
