Hi,

My SII R33 Skyline came with one of those factory Nissan Screens that are used for a GPS. Does anyone know if i can use this monitor for anything else (eg. attach a playstation or dvd player to it)? there is a button on it saying TV/CD but everything is in Japanese so I dont have a clue what it means. Any help would be great. Dont want to waste this screen. Thanks

Steve

Usually they have an aux input so you can hook a dvd/mp3 player up to them.

They usually put the control box under the passenger seat, or up under the dash on the passengers side.

Just remember that the screen will more than likey be NTSC, not the Australian standard of PAL.

I've got the TV/sat nav stuff in the Stagea, I've ripped all the sat nav stuff out and will just use the screen. I've found (on the net) a small unit that plays mpg/avi/divx/dvd etc, also plays mp3 and comes with USB2 and a 20gig hard drive.

Very handy to load and play movies and mp3's anywhere you go.

Hey guys,

I had the same unit in mine. A guy in Vic Park on Teddington Rd, HiFi place, can't remeber for the life of me what is was called, does all sorts of mods, he told me he could modify the unit and make it able to play TV/DVD etc. The GPS unit with it doesn't work in Aust, as in Japan they use a different system, their's updates as you drive or something!

Can't remember his name either, think it may have been Greg?? He was pretty helpfull, knows his stuff! Go check it out, it's close to the lights of Shepperton Rd.

Hey guys,

I had the same unit in mine. A guy here in Perth does all sorts of mods, he told me he could modify the unit and make it able to play TV/DVD etc. The GPS unit that comes with it doesn't work in Aust, as in Japan they use a different system, their's updates as you drive or something I think!

So they can be used, but I don't know if it's really worth it in the end! I changed mine to an indash 7" touch screen unit. I've got a program which creates a DVD of your MP3's. I used an 8GB DVD+R and filled it MP3s. Can create a menu, background picture and all, really cool!! Program's called Audio DVD Creator.

i didnt know it was standard... mine came with a screen on top of the dash too... doesnt look standard... looks shoddy... theres a wire running down my dash.. and the monitors kinda stuck on to it.

but it still works tho :rofl: it shows me how fast i'm going (in digital ;)) and its got this lil F1 car which reprasents my car.... its still monitorring me... the only thing is its got the jap map in it still so im driving over oceans and lakes :rofl:

its got a box under the passenger seat... tried to plug in my dvd player but couldnt get it to work...

Scooby_Steve or anyone with the SII factory option TV- can you post a pic of it for me? I just want to see how it looks. Does it just come in place of the double DIN stereo box?

Cheers,

Vijay

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
