Does PS2 skip in car?

Hi everyone.

I'm planning to hook up the playstation 2 in the car until I get around to buying a proper DVD player. Does anyone know if they skip while driving? If so, has anyone come up with any inventions to limit this.

my mates got one in his he put it in the glovebox..i didnt think it would fit but it did...he built like a box around the ps2 so it fit perfectly in the glovey he hasnt had any skipping problems with it so i guess if u install it so theres no movement i guess it should be ok?

cheers...

Yeah, Dick Smith have them for about $90. You can plug any household appliance in them as far as I know.

JB HiFi have DVD players at the moment for $330. I decided to go for that option instead of the PS2. It also plays MP3s. I decided the extra $240 over the PS2 option was worth it. I can also plug a PS2 or a TV tuner into it if I wish.

that sounds like the go, at the moment i have a vcd stacker under the drivers seat, witht he alpine tv i have i am lucky it comes with a brain under the seat, wich has rca in and rca outs on it, so i can plug a ps2 and a dvd playing in no probs and i have rca outs aswell for another 2 screens, which is handy, next car show i am setting up a 80 cm tv at the stall with just the music from the car and the video clips playing on it

what sort of power supply are your running to your invertor? i have seen them with a ciggie lighter, but i think i might hard wire it in, and run a relay, maybe the trigger being the trigger wire from the amps, that should be easy enough to hook up

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
