This is one for people that have imported a Jap car that has a TV in it and are stumped on what to do with it.

There is a cheap alternative to throwing it all out and starting again :thumbsup:

My Stagea came with a TV and Sat nav system. I ripped the sat nav out cause there's no way to get it working here :( But I thought it would be a big shame if I couldn't use the TV.

Well, after a heap of searching around I found a media player that will hook up to the video and audio inputs of the TV so I could watch DVD/MPG/AVI files and also play MP3/OGG music files.

This is it;

It's a really nifty little thing. Basically it will play any DVD/MPG/AVI video files, including DivX and Xvid, play MP3 and OGG music files, display JPG files, outputs upto 1920x1020 res HD files !!, has 5.1 DTS output (as well as standard stereo) and doubles as a portable mass storage device.

This little unit suits me down to a T. I have a heap of backup movies and music that I can play in the car now, also instead of having to convert the files to a standard DVD format to play on a standalone DVD player I just need to load it up the files via USB2 and play them by this unit...

I love my new gadget :)

Yepp, portable media player.

The unit cost me $370 but that was WITH a 60 gig laptop hard drive. I think you can get the unit without the hard drive for about $180.

Damn cheap if you have a screen already. The iRivers that have a 20gig drive (but without this res video and DTS 5.1) are around double this price.

post up some pics of the unit can you

when i got my 33 with sat nav and tv ripped out sat nav

brought a dvd player for 300 (new) and used that worked great

the unit is a bit dodgy and has some buggy firmware on it

like occasioanlly a movie may die but i suspect shit media dvds than the player

Xbox is great cause you get a games console as well, but pretty large and not very portable.

It really depends on what you want to do with it etc..

I'll grab some pics tomorrow and post them up.

But so far it's played everything I've thrown at it, apart from MOV and WMV.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
