We've done the first phase of our installation on our R32 GTR.

Componets used:

LCD display: VMS - 8" VGA touchscreen

DSP: Alpine 701

Car PC - VMS - HP312

Front Stage: Oz Audio Matrix Elite 6.5"

Sub: Oz Audio Matrix Elite 12"

Amps: Treo 2x250

Accessories:

Griffin Power Mate USB controller here

Creative USB 24bit soundcard with TOSLINK out

NESA vision CCD mini reversing camera

Dlink Wifi

Dlink Bluetooth

Dlink USB hubs

The aim of the project was to create a professional Car PC demo car. The 8" LCD has been integrated into the factory centre console along with the Alpine RUX face and climate control panels. The PC itself is a Pentium M 1.2 with 1GB of ram and 120GB hard drive running Windows XP and Centrafuse including GPS navigation. The sound from the PC goes to a creative soundcard with TOSLINK out which connects directly to a Alpine 701 processor.

Its only running Fronts & a sub for pure sound quality purposes but we are thinking about converting this setup to a true 5.1 setup as both the PC and DSP supports DTS and Dolby surround.

The PCs, Amps and sub are all located in the boot with the mids in the factory location and tweeters in the a colume. It came 3rd in the last CAASQ comp in pro class.

ENJOY THE PHOTOS

We have more photos on the webiste here

We are trying to build a very unique car that incorporates the latest technologies. i would love to hear everyone's feedback.

Very nice... i'm running the same front splits in my R33 and was thinking about getting an OzAudio sub myself.

Nice intall.

How's the sub sound? never heard one of them babies thump :teehee:

its a beautiful sub, very smooth and deep. Its a SQ sub so if you want nice clean music, its great.

Is that a custom install, to get the 8" LCD to fit?

ie cut, plastic bondo + respray?

Yeah, the 8 inch won't fit into the standard double din space. a 7" will, however if you want that integrated look, its got to be custom welded onto the original plastic frame.

The a/c panel and the alpine face has also been integrated into the centre.

    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
    • Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
    • I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
