Indash Touchscreen

[Crans]

Currently installing a carputer into my 1990 R32 GTS-T

Here are some pics of my touchscreen install so far.

Still need to paint it. hope fully so it this weekend.

Dash cut to fit screen casing

Screen casing test fited to dash

Plastic Weld epoxying to keep it all together

More Plastic Weld

Filler to make it nice

A Heap more filler

After alot of sanding its now pritty much perfectly smooth.

Connected the screen to the dash and test fitted it into the car.

Nearly perfect needs some paint and some new clips to hold the top to the dash.

Nice work, what sort of LCD are you running?

I admire people who spend the time making their carputer look custom. I personally wouldnt do it, because i like being able to easily remove and upgrade/change things if they break.

ditto....before i would consider an install like this, i'd have to source a spare centre console surround, so i KNEW i could revert to stock if need be.

My dash souround wasnt perfect to begin with clips broken and scratched up so it didnt bother me cutting it up.

If i want to go back to standard i will just buy a new one.

The wiring in my dash was pritty dodged up so im gonna enjoy redoing the lot.

The screen seams pritty good so far. wasn't a real cheap one either but if i hjave problems i will buy a nice expensive one.

With a bit of paint it should look pritty good.

BTW im in perth and its the only small patch of grass at the house so its easy to keep green

got the screen from here http://www.phoenixitd.com.au/products/carpc.html

If you dont want to cut up your dash they have a motorized one

Very Nice! Great job.

I have the same screen setup in my 'line.

Would lke to know more about how this plastic welding stuff works.

I've secured mine in a complicated way from the inside of the console.

Pics should be in a post titled "GTR carputer" or similar

Regarding reliabilty - I've had mine since October '06 - no complaints so far

Yours looks really good.

I was going to make a mount and not cut up my dash but i always wanted tomodify a dash like i have done.

Was alot of fun.

The plastic weld is an epoxy i got from a auto shop. if it dosnt hold i will properly plastic weld it in
