Whats involved in installation?

i read some where that its needed up the front section wher it has a sharp bend in it.

Nah that one is not us, but close. Ours is in a double garage :-)

Rofl... We are in northgate also... Lightsview section. I did an amp sub and headunit install in a friends 300zxtt today

Just thought i would make a post about the car pc that im building and installing. I will be using my current HTPC and replacing that one with a newer one, but it will be sufficient for a carpc. Specs Zotac Ion dual core atom with wifi 4gb ram SSD HDD TV tuner (undecided yet) Stock screen for now until i decide if i will replace the stock cubby hole one or replace the bose unit. Black Box Mobile Case DCDC intelligent PSU GPS Bluetooth dongle Wifi mini keyboard Remote IR The unit will be mounted next to the bose amp. I have already added RCA plugs onto the spare AUX input instead of buying the cable that plugs into the loom. Need to work out the best way to get video from the mobo to the RCA. Do i use a VGA to Composite adaptor? Just need to wait for the case and PSU before i can install. Need to work out how to bypass the screen in motion cut out also. Can anyone tell me if the stock screen is good enough to display centrafuse on movies?

just replaced both valve cover gaskets today. Bought them from main north nissan (have an account there for work). whole job took about 3 hours total. parts cost about $55 including a high temp silicone. This was done to fix a slight oil leak drivers rear side which would drip onto the exhaust causing a horrible burning smell every so often. So far so good. No signs of further leaking and no oil found in the spark plug tubes.

Some awesome designs here, well done! Charles89 and thirtythreeII have some nice concepts. Hope there are going to be girl tees available? Krystle.

Make your repairer and assessor aware of what you expect, and what you know to be wrong, like the seal that needs replacing. Let them know that if its not right you will ask insurance company rework it till its right.

rofl. I do work for them......

Chris can you make the doors auto lock when ign on? I have the latest carman scan and can not find this programmable function. Found lots of other functions though.

elaborate.

There is only a few cars with electronically controlled warning lights currently. Most will still not illuminate the warning light with open circuit brushes. Most of the electronic regulators what we are both referring to still require brushes to contact the slip ring in order to trigger the warning light. Its an old technology but it doesn't need to be improved upon. An example where bosch tried to make it better is the newer commodores where the ECU controls the alternators field and warning light.... this resulted in many cars being falsely fitted with new alternators when the real fix was a firmware upgrade at the dealer to overcome real world conditions.

If you had a battery that some how had its plates short.... you would know about it. I don't think ive ever seen this in my 15 years but i'm sure it has happened to you. Your bit about the dash battery light comes on if your alternator fails is classic. Yes it can come on, but that's only if there is a potential difference between the bulb and the output of the regulator. And the most common failure of an alternator is worn brushes or diode fault, especially on better brands such as whats in these cars. And guess what, this will not bring on the battery warning light because its open circuit. Do you check to make sure your battery light illuminates every time you start the car? Not many people do, so how would you or the OP know that the alternator is not faulty in the way i have described above. Yes you are a forum guesser, you have just demonstrated it a few times in one post. And no i don't sell alternators but i have diagnosed many when i worked for a general auto electrical shop who does them.... I now manage a shop who do engine management, fuel injection and air conditioning not alternators.

your battery being dead is only an after effect of a faulty alternator. yes you might need a new battery now, but if your alternator is not working your new battery will be dead in about 30 mins of driving. dash board lights and other small things like that will still work with a battery that wont start a car becauae starting a car takes 100 times more current than little dash lights. if you were in my workshop i would suspect a faulty alternator number 1. number 2 put your battery on charge and see if it tests ok. if not, replace it.

the sound you are hearing is called a machine gunning starter motor. happens when your battery is flat and the jump starter is not good enough. the second point is why do you have a flat battery? you must have an alternator problem causing this. ps im an auto electrician, not a forum guesser.

Hey, so this is ours. A 70th Anniversary edition. Be interested to see what people think of the stripe down the side. Have had some mixed feedback about it... Krystle.

Synergy.... Think it may have been a 03.

So what ones dont have the cheap buttons? I saw a 2004 at a dealer that had terrible rubber buttons recently. Was a different unit to the one linked

Can you please elaborate on metra controls?

Can this be used with out any problems? http://store.mp3car.com/Direct_Fit_Double_Din_LCD_Touch_Screen_for_2003_20_p/dsh-154.htm

im pretty sure this car has platinum plugs which only need replacing every 100000kms

Is this the extra plug?

Does the bose hu have different aerial plugs compared to standard?

If I have the spare plug on the loom, how do I select that aux in the screen? And yes im in adelaide. Can you please pm,me a price for english conversion? Thanks

So you have the relay setup? I assume its splitter. So 2 inputs into 1 with a change over relay?
