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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
