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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
