Hey guys, Ive been a silent reader for years and love this community. I am wondering if you guys have recommendations for a pop-up screen entertainment unit that comes with a rear view camera ? preferably plug and play cos i kinda suck at wiring and etc. for the GTR r33.

 

I love my 3 gauges hence the pop-up idea. or alternatively, you guys know where i could find a replacement trim for the 12v outlet + ashtray to fit the climate control console (i know yoshida makes one but they sell them for a price i could not afford). That way I could just use a screen unit that takes "two console" spaces. 

 

In short, I want a screen, rear view camera, and to keep my 3 gauages and climate control. 

 

Thanks a million guys.

Sounds like you're asking for a Pioneer AVH-3500NEX.

One thing to consider with that, since the early 00s I had something similar in the stagea.

While it was single DIN, when the screen is open (all the time while driving), it blocked the climate controls and partly blocked the air vents (or in 33 GTR the triple gauges) anyway

Yeah there's no winning to some extent with the double DIN issue. Annoying either way. Personally I haven't used the stereo at all. If I ever get around to it I will replace it with a mechless single DIN with bluetooth and call it a day. 

The other question was how to install without cutting wires. That's pretty simple. You can buy harness adapters for radios for 100% plug and play reversible installation. I don't recall what year of Maxima you're looking for in the US but that is how you do it.

I'd be interested to hear about some solutions for this as well. Similar situation as I'd like to keep the triple analog gauges.

That's a good point. Looks like on the Pioneer the default can be changed on whether it is open or not. And it has the usual radio control buttons even when it is folded.

Sounds a bit annoying regardless. I think it's possible to half move the screen, but looks like it's via touch screen controls only so not great whilst driving. There are some videos about the controls on youtube. Doesn't look like it's possible to move it by hand to just quickly reach the controls that are hidden when it's up.

Personally at $1300 AUD I'd want something that is pretty much perfect so not sure about this one.

Hah, I hear you. The speakers in mine are stuffed so haven't listened to music in the car at all. Weird how after a while it just becomes normal. Even considered blanking out the stereo slot out to make it look a bit cleaner.

Would be nice though to have a proper display with carplay/android auto integration.

The best way is the new Garage Yoshida injection molded HVAC relocation. He 3D-scanned an OEM shift surround piece and then modified the design in CAD to fit the HVAC unit. Should all just clip in and the look/feel of it should be just like stock: https://blog.garage-yoshida.net/archives/15611

Then any good 2-DIN unit will work.

I hear you. But the trim costs an arm !

Thanks a lot pal, that’s what I’m looking for I think.

I see where you are coming from and I agree with you. I’m hoping to move the climate control to the bottom shelf, popup screen in the middle, and I’ll just live with the screen open knowing I have the 3 gauges behind it to feel good.

See, that is awesome, good on them for doing the R&D for something R33 owners have needed for years! Yes, not cheap, but for a smart solution to a real inconvenience I think it is reasonable.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
