I put an in dash one in recently, and i love it:) wouldn't look back, and when i sell the car i can take it with me...

Just for your interest, i was looking at buying a civic vtir before the skyline and it had a tv their, and i ended up not buying it for that simple reason.. as to get rid of it i would of had to replace the whole dash, and he wanted to take it.

My suggestion, if you want a tv or tvs get an in dash one, and put two in the back of your head rests...

mate i rekin its a top idea...it would look so mad if you had it properly installed and the screen sat flush with the dash. you could make it look 100% factory.

as for the law about TV's while driving...there is certain loop holes....the obvious thing is it has to be wired to the handbrake, so that it only works when the hand brake is on...but thats as simple as making a by pass so that you can use it when the hand brake is off...

the new BA fords have screens in them...so there is definitely loop holes in the law. its a good idea man, just needs to be thought out properly....

great idea though, i rekin it would look sweet as!

I will be doing something to that nature with my laptop screen. I already have a monitor in the top slot for the stereo, but stand-alone is sounding pretty sweet. :(

My idea will include a fibreglass housing for the angle to be perfect for the driver though, no flush mount on mine. Mix of because i love doing fibreglass and because it's meant for me anyways.

Hay buddie, i've just recently got a 7" tft screen from side to side, and it does take a fair while to do it, my mate did my system for me, i'll see if i can get a picture for you, and yeah, you lose a passenger side air vent, and you have to use zip ties to hold the screen mount in place, and then pop the screen in place, i also have a clarion 7" touch screen in my dash as my main head unit.

youi get ots of lookers. i;ve been pulled over by the cops too and they didn't say anything abt it beeing illegel having a screen in the passenger side dash. you must have a passenger if you have the screen on while driving.

i'll get some pics up soon

    • Not following.   Its worth noting that the N54 has no oil pressure sensor from factory, only a switch. I have retro fit a sensor so I can monitor the pressure. The car will now alert me if it drops. 
    • Yeah that sounds like a way to isolate the issue, but I am not sure how easy it is to get a gauge on it; as Greg said it is subframe out to do anything anyway. As it happens FPG also have a attesa pressure sender which goes in the rear of the xfer case. I have a kit but have not installed in the race car yet (because, race car) https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/nissan-skyline-r32gt-r/products/fpg-bnr32-attesa-high-pressure-hose-replacement-with-optional-pressure-sensor-adapter-fpg-116
    • My BC's are great! I wasn't going to spend big money, its a long way from a "well-funded" car. They are really comfy on the street and they feel good enough for me on the track. I think they were about $1400 AUD delivered with front camber tops. Hard to go wrong with that. They replaced my Bilstein B8's with Eibach springs which were good also but just a touch soft and I wanted the height adjustment. It didn't help that a Sydney mega pothole bent one of the front strut tubes just enough to make lowering with the jack tricky as it didn't compress unless you drove back and forth a bit.  I'm also a little less willing to go hard into fast corners. Maybe I'll get better over time, but for now I'm happy to lose a few seconds and not keep feeling like I'm about to die. Nice point on the left foot braking. This is definitely an area I want to get better at. Like you I should be doing it when pottering around town just to get more used to it and stop it feeling odd.
    • This must be my problem, I can smell fuel in the driver rear wheel well sometimes.
    • I mean down here I get absolutely nothing, and I'm driving around with a V8 version. I say "absolutely nothing" but the actual instances I can remember on one hand, and funnily enough were all in Sydney, not Melbourne. Specifically one very insistent guy hanging out of his window, pointing to the engine bay, then giving me an exaggerated thumbs up. That and one guy a decade ago who was an American who had clearly just seen his first R34 ever in person, and seemed surprised when I was like "Oh dude you'll see them everywhere" but this was 2010. But 99.99% of the time it gets no looks from absolutely anyone, ever.  BIG CAVEAT: SEDAN
