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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
