Guys, basically I got one question.
So I still have the double din radio/navi in my car and besides that I only got unusable japanese frequencies in the radio, it only reads CDs and is 99% in japanese - it is working fine ^^
It also has a rear port ( cinch ) for the rear camera, which automatically starts and gets projected on the screen as soon as I hit the reverse gear - do many radios have such a port for a camera and will the be activated too directly or is it a question if additional signal cables from the gear to the radio to let it know, when to project the rear view?

Sorry if this isnt good english but as I said before, Im german. :D

 

Thank you guys ❤️
BTW: The radio is a clarion addzest something road explorer 3.0 HDD

Just about any double DIN car stereo with a big LCD screen would have a video input for reversing cameras.

I don't know about how the signal and screen are activated in your car. AFAIK R33s didn't come with this stuff. Are you talking about some later V series or Stagea? Actually, I don't even know how the camera and screen are activated in those later cars either. But it is quite possible that there is a "reverse" wire that comes from the gear shifter reverse switch or from the BCM that would tell the stereo to switch over to reverse camera mode. Or, it could be that the stereo automatically does so whenever the camera signal goes live.

Ah I see, but you couldnt say that they all got this input point in form of a cinch plug I suppose?

Yeye, its my R33 Gtst. Looks like I would have have to take the radio out and have a look where all wires are going or if one directs to the gearbox or something. Sigh ^^

It has to be one of two no?
Get the camera power as soon as you hit reverse and the screen recognizes that and switches OR
tell the screen when it is reverse and let it switch to the always powered cam

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
