OK, so i'm starting a design process to mount a smallish tv on the top of the R33 dash, in a very similar style to the r34 gtr in dash tv ...

at the moment i'm doing this as a one off for myself, using either a 5, 6 or 7" screen whichever is more available ...

however, as i'll have to do all the design work, make a mould, and get all the vacume forming done, i might as well see if there is anyone else interested ... if so, then i can plan this ahead ...

anyway, drop me a pm if you are interested ...

cost wise, with a 7" tft i'd expect it to be around the 250 mark ish ... depends on how much the vacume forming costs ...

cheers

i have no choice but to mount up there, as both of the dins are taken up by head unit and dsp ... and no, i'm not going to relocate them ..

and yes, the only way i will be be doing it is if its looks like its supposed to be there .. like the r34 gtr ish

ok, will build up a 7"

i only thought of 5" as it would not be as obtrusive on top of the dash ... once the mount is all done, i could change fairly easily to be a 5 or 7"

the initial mould will be made of fibreglass, that will be then transposed into a plaster of paris type material, then plastic will be vacume formed over it ...

will try and get as closer match as possible to the existing dash plastic, but obviously its not going to be identical ...

Cool!

I would be keen for sure. Just due to my bad experience with theft, can security be a factor. As in, how can I avoid this being ripped off.

Hide it, secure it etc etc.

That is, appreciate that we want it to be R34 ish, but what say that we can't improve on that, and make it better than R34 ish, but factory looking as well.

If you can get this done in plastic, and it's cheap, then i'd be interested. Coz fibre is ****ing shit. Can I ask, will you be charging near the cost of what it costs you? or are you making a big profit.

Help out fellow sauers...

i'm in the process of building it in fibreglass at teh moment, this is a design phase tho to get the mould to make it out of plastic ..

i'll be charging whatever it coss me in materials, and engineering work (as i dont own a vacume forming machine) + a small amount for the amount of time i put into the design and leg work ...

rest assured, i wont be making a big profit ... thats not what this project is about

Yep, interested then. Thumbs up mate.

How will it be mounted to the dash? Screwed in?

Btw, tv units are all slightly different sizes and shapes. You may have to tell uswhich unit you are going to base it on, so we can buy the same one.

Cheers

yeah, it'll be a similar thing to the 3 pod holder ... will sit a little further forward, and will incorporate a 7" lilliput screen

using lilliput screen as they seem to be HIGHLY available in a lot of countries ... also, a standard 7" is only $150

initial design is getting there now ...

cheers

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
