hey mate i know you said you purchased it for the engine but you wouldnt have a spare turbo lying around would you?

hey wolverine, no disrespect bro but CRC Urethane Seal Coat Temperature Resistance Should not exceed 100°C most heat resistant silicones have a HR of around 300°C Sure a spray might be neater but i dont think itll have half the insulating properties as a decent heat resistant silicone or heat resistant gasket sealer. the bonus is you wont see it as its under the coil pack cover. cheers

if you wanna test it.... supa cheap will sell you a tube of heat silicone for like 20 bucks, pull them out and cover each coil pack in it. mine use to heat up and then arc out against the block. if you have the cash buy new ones i guess.

Cheers Ian, man lots of stuffing around to get garmin to work. I cant help you with the pc version as you have to have owned it from garmin previously as the product is discontinued. But im sure if you google it you may find it.

Progress so far Its not much but im getting there.

yeah i also emailed that guy peter from ecutalk and never got a response.

lol you have me wrong im no programmer, Im an electronics technician and do interfacing for heavy machinary. Basically I take OEM code from the truck interface it to a comms mudule that then converts data from one stadard to another (can to rs232 etc) and sends it to a screen inside the machary and also over a wifi network to a control room where they use the data to dispatch the heavy machinary accordingly and monitor engine telemetry. me not being able to program is why i have to use other peoples software and am confined to stuff that already has drivers. This will be my build thread just thought id make a start on it and put up what i plan on doing so people can throw some ideas at me. One of the biggest problems I have is that the OEM pop up screen is such an awesome idea but absolutely useless to me. a couple of things im going to look at once im done playing around and have it fitted is what am i going to do with the OEM button pannel .... i probably still could use the bottons and re-rout the wiring through to the new mother board or i can chop the dash and put some USB ports in the same place.... its all so exciting i almost wee'd my pants thinking about it. Its great to have collaboration and ill probably be msg'ing you later on down the line for some ideas and problems you have over come if thats ok. cheers

Looks unreal brother keep us posted on your efforts or send me a link to your build thread. You should check what size the actual LCD is measure across the viewing area of the LCD and see if its the same size as the factory screen and then maybe you can remove the outter shell of the screen and replace it with the pop up screen and have all the cabled hang inside your console. This was the sole purpose of choice for the screen i chose so that I dont have any thing mounted on my dash or on the console and it looks like it comes from factory. Becarefull with the OS you choose alot of the old dianostic stuff runs on XP and even though you can install something in windows 7 and run it in XP mode thier might not be drivers for the OS you choose. I have a few DVD's packed with windows 7 drivers that ill be using to try get this to work, specially since i probly wont have an internet connection in the car and windows 7 relys on windows update for driver download. I'm not entirely sure how windows 8 embeded will work with drivers. hopefully the windows 7 drivers will be backward compatible. Should be good iether way. The PC box that im looking at i probably won't use the case as im going to remove the gutz of it and try mount the motherboard and interface cards below the pop up screen (there is enough space to fit a Mini ITX board in a din bracket) the performance of the board and ram wasnt a huge concern for me it was more the fact of the interfaces - RS232 ports and USB for connectivity This is the Board ill be running with is 170mm X 170mm http://www.mini-box....otherboard.html# Features: - Dual Atom D2500 2 x 1.86Ghz - Intel NM10 Chipset - 2 x DDR3 SO-DIMM (max 4GB) - Dual Independent Displays - 1 x VGA / 1 x DVI-I (Dual Link, Digital and Analog) - 2 x COM - 2 x Integrated Intel 10/100/1000 network connection - 2 x SATA (3GBs) - 1 x miniPCI Express - LVDS for Embedded Displays - 4 x USB 2.0 - Recommended PSU: picoPSU-80 IT should be more then enough to run every thing i want and more. Cheers

OoOoOoOoooo radar detector lol sounds interesting, but only legal in WA. most claim to be undetecable but i think only 2 are really undetecable and those 2 can fetch up $2000. and wont interface with a windows system. http://www.delonixradar.com.au/radar-detectors/tests/2009-spectre4-rdd-test.php - Results http://www.dontgetcaught.com.au/radardetectors.html - products

Ok so i started messing around with a really smart windows CE compact computer that has serial interfaces, usb host and client interfaces, can interface and a couple of digi ports for N/O or N/C data (relay status). The pc its self was awesome. However Windows CE is useless for this unless you are some sort of programming wizz most of the software out there is shit or cant be interefaced with our cars (ODBII reliant) Ive come up with a new project - PC - http://www.mini-box....Slot%20DVD.html TouchScreen - http://www.mini-box....ouchscreen.html (the reason i chose this screen is the viewing area is 152.4(H) X 91.44(V) mm should be pretty close to what your stock screen is now and will make it easy to swap it out.) Being that this PC has a few serial port aswell as USB there are an infinate number of interfaces we can connect to this box for Consult readouts and diagnostics aswell as trying to get some of OEM screens functionality back like GPS or fuel Economy or some added funtionallity like bluetooth hands free voice commands etc. a few of you will ask what software I think im going to use and thats simple - Centrafuse as the front end this will allow me to run any other 3rd part software and create short cuts for it on the frontend desktop, controll the bluetooth hands free mobile phone connection and it already supports voice command. 3rd party software could be any thing from your current ECU software for tuning or just something that interfaces with consult so you can get you diagnostics and clear your fault codes, digital guages etc. Ive already been in contact with a chinese mob to see if i can source a consult 3 cable (bluetooth capable) and software and have been informed it will cost $359 delivered (im guessing its a reverse engineerd cable). Once i get this cable and test it with the PC i should be able to post up some pics on install and interfacing etc. The price of all these parts is fairly expensive and will take me some time to get them all together as i will be working away most of this year and next and using my off days to play around with it so dont expect it to happen over night or even in a months time. What i will say though is if i can do this and work out exactly what is needed i can start to simplify and buy cheaper parts so by the end of it im hoping to have a fully functional replacement for out stock useless screen for around $500 (cheaper if i have any thing to say about it) that if any one is interested in they can buy off the parts list and install it them selves. The things i want from this are - Fully funtional media centre GPS with australian maps Bluetooth hands free w/ or w/o voice command Diagnostic read outs and resetting A/M ECU tuning and a bit of Blang Blang eye candy. If there is any thing else you guys can think of that would make this project a bit better or any thing else you would want out of it please feel free ask and once i have it all setup ill test it out. There is an example pic i flogged from someone else's install pics of what centrafuce can do and the Chinese consult III cable

not being super awesome racecar driver or machanic ... id say open throttle as your ecu would provide retard for gear shift in tip tronic? but i could be wrong, i dont use the tip tronic at all.

yeah thats what im thinking brother get the donar one hi-flowed and maybe get the stag trucked to sydney or melbourne to get it fitted with turbo, greddy EMU and dump pipe. just waiting to get payed then its all balls and glory.

mate just rip the front seat out at 6'6 im sure you could reach the pedals from the back seat.

*WTB* - M35 stock turbo if you are in melbourne this would be better cheers.

yeah man there is a car import joint in dandenong on plunkett Rd (turn left off princess HWY and its the import joint on your right, you cant miss it heaps of imports in the front yard) when i purchased my car from him i saw heaps of wheels and mags just laying around im guessing he uses some of the stags he imports as parts only vehicles for compliance etc. best to go round there in person I dont think he would be super usefull over the phone. Cash is his game so make sure you take some pineapples. *i think this is the joint http://www.powerroad.com.au/

but wouldnt it be nice..... lol im just toying around with ideas at the moment. and im half keen on finding a tablet PC to butcher that would fit that OEM screen rails. my only problem im going to run into is deciding what OS to run on it. clearly it will have to be the one that will most suit what software/interfaces i wish to run with out writing my own drivers etc. trust me when i figure out what im going to do you guys will be the first to know and it will be nothing short of spectacular

shattered looks like the software "carscope" is only in japanese.

was having a look at Yahoo Auctions JP and found that they are selling these things for m35's (dunno if the software you have to download for it is in english??). Wouldnt it be nice to piss off the factory screen if you could. Find a nice touch screen one to fit in its place and aswell as keep all the funtionality of your factory unit eg, fault codes, fuel economy, NAVI and multimedia etc..... I wonder how hard it would be to buy a cheap android TAB and butcher it to fit the rails of the old screen and run direct power through the car to turn it on and off with your ignition. Maybe add a nice sized USB hub (for extra connectivity) and hard drive bay in the glove box where that poxey useless NAVI DVD player is. http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/products/electronics/monitor/ob-link/index.html

Looks interesting wonder if its bluetooth or wireless coz i dont see any other plug for it. http://translate.goo...on%2Fc340022102 I just read that it is lol

mate ill ship at your cost no dramas. you organise shipping and ill even bubble wrap it for you.

cheers brother ill give you plenty of notice.

might get it flat bedded to sydney get the turbo and booste controller done and then hammer it to melbourne for the rest lol..... the things we do for the ricewagon.

Scotty mate, i have that much more respect for you bro..... I had a look at this place where there is apparently a turbo installed (I couldnt see sh!t) after removing most of the piping i still couldnt get in close enough to see a thing. so im going to give it a miss. Now here is my problem I have a car with a dead turbo so driving it to melbourne to get the Greddy ultimate, down and front pipe installed isnt really an option and i need a donar to send away to get Hi-flowed. then im gonna have to find a machanic to do the swap over. I'm in the singleton nsw, any ideas?

hahaha i removed the head light coz the instructions told me to. I guess it makes it easier to get the clamp and cooler piping through and to pull out the over flow bottle? not sure ? either way its only three bolts that hold it in. I would have to say its one of the easiest cooler installs ive ever seen and @ $599 dilivered i dont think i could have done any better.

So i picked up my HDI cooler this morning took me about an hour to install it and the 12 inch fan both went in with out any issues at all. i got my Gizzmo IEBC and im half contemplating throwing it in,and pulling out my old turbo lol......
