funkymonkey Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 My GTS's makeover has begun... just picked up a 12.1" LCD TV for integration into my dash (makin a custom dash)... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=5118464807 check it out... tv tuner included. Add to this the HKS camp that I've got and I'll have instant readouts and datalogging on my screen. Next step is to get an old laptop to load up the pwer FC tuning software, and then I can begin on the engine transplant But for now I'm just gonna drool over my ECU readouts on my 12.1" screen Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/50351-it-begins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ylwgtr2 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 that would take a lot of cutting and plastic welding to fit in the dash...then you would need to re skin th edash...either that or make a plug up of a new dash skin with wood then pull a mould off it...

BU5TER Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 nope if it has its own junction box for sensors it can run by itself, I sold one last year Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/50351-it-begins/#findComment-1000662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahtone Racing Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 sorry man but thats a bit of an overkill. ive got a sony 7 inch in-dash i think thats big enough. IMO your going to ruin the original lines of the dash and hence fu(k up the look of the interior. if you really wanna use a massive monitor use it in the boot for shows n sh!t Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/50351-it-begins/#findComment-1000749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 the massive monitor's not just for looks. I've already made up a junction box and data cable for the HKS camp (yes you don't have to buy one). I've unlocked the datalogger as well as purchased the DRAM chip you need to save it on. I've got a 2mb module which should see about 20 hours worth logged. Also I needed an AV unit that took D-Sub or VGA input as I needed to plug in a Power FC (well plug in the laptop that has the software to tune the powerFC). I'm also looking at getting an F-Con so I can hard wire its outputs to some digital LED displays. But that's just something extra. I'm in the process of prototyping an hardware IR based lap time video overlay which will mean i'll be able to direct the video output to a digicam. Basically what I'm trying to achieve is something thats totally stealth when switched off, and when switched on can give me a reading from any sensor in the car without using tacky gauges. If I can play my xbox on it while I'm waiting for some chick to get dressed to go out... bonus. a 12" lcd panel + driver will fit into the standard R32 console with minor mods. I just don't like the curves of the R32 dash, and I'm realy dissapointed with the low quality of the vents (coz they seem to disintegrate when you push too hard) so i'm gonna experiment. I've sourced a Impul Gearshift extender, which will mean I can raise the base of the gearshift knob a lil higher to look like an R34's shifter. I also hate the oldschool switches on the dash, so i'm gonna try and get some micrpswitches and illuminated soft touch buttons happening. Basically I just want to apply my knowledge of electronics to my car. see if I can develop the next Knight-Skyline-Rider.
