there not to bad, I bought one 2 years ago, and it lasted me about 8 months before the screen no longer folded in and out properly, it would fold out when i started the car, then fold itself back in, or it would get stuck, it ate one of my favourite CD's and it ended up out the window on the hume hwy.

you get what you pay for, i suggest saving your money, these days you can get something decent from a trusted brand, with a warranty for 700+ so I suggest saving your money, especially if you have a nice car for it to go in :)

FYI

Just a quick update ipad tablets fit in R34 dash's with mods but same basic dash shape and console area, only the bezel trim and ashtray area needs remolded

They can be perm mount or slide out depending on how custom you want !! Test fit in my car today , plenty of space

And no metal to hit if you slide out on drivers side of lower fash , passenger side has a bracket

so before anyone asks ues you can do it

Cheers

Carbon also sells plug in connectors for most Nissan's for the home enthusiast installer!!! You only need a car side plug and the radio side plug like the following:

APP0120.jpg + APP8ALP.jpg = an installed head unit on a R34 :D

Plugs are about $15 each free postage for SAU!!

Some cars need extra parts like antenna adapters for the early Nissans if you have the standard head unit still installed.

Give us a call if you need anything we can try to help out.

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
