R32 Gtr Full Boot Install With Car Pc

[gexenon]

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.

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

How do you like the Oz splits? what size do you have? 6.5"

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.
