Hi gents,

I have recently bought an R33 GTS25T which has a TV and GPS system in it. I was wondering if anyone has had these installed in their cars from the factory, and knows where to go to have these systems converted to Aust frequencies, etc. Any advice would be great.

Thanks.

Brendon.

G'day Brendon,

Sadly the GPS won't work and converted over to Aust spec cause it's a totally different system. From what I know, no one has converted over the TV either, although the screen will be NTSC so just keep that in mind if you get an add-on player/tuner etc..

I ended up ripping all the GPS crap out of my car and have bought a MPEG4/MP3 player to hook up to the screen. Works well. One day if I get really keen I'll get an add-on tuner so i can watch TV as well... But at the moment I'm not that keen :P

what are the factory units like? i mean, well, my car came with a tv screen about 4 or 5inch, with numerous buttoms down either side of it. its a panisonic cq-500d (from memory, its at my mates house at the moment), and i couldnt find anything about it on the net. it wasnt hooked up when we pulled it out, it looked like an aftermarket unti was in it and they just screwed this old one back in when selling the car.

does this sound like the a factory unit you may have? my car looks like it has a few extra gadgets about that look to perhaps be gps...

thanks, shaun.

Toyota Soarer sites have some really usefull information about this because the V8 models come with TV/GPS as standard and this is one of the most FAQ's

the bottom line most gave was that it is possible to convert the TV and GPS but the amount of money this takes makes it redundant................you could get an aftermarket system for a similar price.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
