^^^ haha so you saw my brother-in-law's R33 in there in past couple of days Luke? We have had the R34GTR MFD on his test bench playing with it for a few weeks and figuring things out and how to best wire it up to work 100% on his R33. It is an interesting project. The wiring is going to be a NIGHTMARE but we have got most of it figured out (with some help from a Singaporean guy who has already done it to his R33GTR).

He has also bought a fully fledged Car PC and 7" VGA touch screen monitor and we have been playing with an awesome piece of software called 'Centrafuse', which is all-in-one car entertainment management software - including MP3 library functionality, DVD player, Bluetooth for mobile phone integration, Sat Nav etc etc. He also has awesome PowerFC software that lets him play real time with his PowerFC tune and mapping, and does virtual gauge readout through the Car PC and touchscreen monitor. When it is all finished I will get him to come on a cruise to show it off. Truly amazing stuff.

FYI his name is David, and his username is 'Red Back' on here. I have his old HKS 2530 from his written off R33 on my car now :thumbsup: His Series 3 R33GTR is pretty lusty hey?! Puts out a bit of power too :(

Oh and Spangers - I definitely would not be mentioning the specific model of alarm on the forums - unfortunately they browse forums, and if you tell the exact model of your alarm it makes it easier for them to do their homework. Oh, and John from Marvey Tech is awesome - he knows his sh!t.

AWESOME bloke! He just did my new alarm and did a great price. He's currently chucking a 34GTR MFD into a 33GTR, if all goes well I'm gonna get him to do the same in mine! :thumbsup:

Andrew, any idea how much the 34 MFD is going to cost all up? Is something I'd love to do to the Stag as well, but only if under $2K which I reckon would be pretty doubtful.

David bought the MFD off Yahoo Japan through Slidewise (importer/middle-man) for around $1,100 landed here. This is a great price, and the cheapest he had seen for a while. I believe they go for around $1,500 normally. Then you have the cost of getting a fibreglass shroud made up (if you don't want to do this you can hack into your dash and try to just mount the MFD in its enclosure). Then you have to wire the thing up. Not an impossible job, but a LOT of stuffing around and soldering - we are up to about 25 wires that need to be spliced into from the main ECU and Atessa ecu, then vaccum sealed onto connectors which go into the back of the MFD.

Like I said, not an impossible task, but a pretty big job. If you are fairly fluent in soldering and basic auto electrical things, you should be able to do it yourself (we will do Davids between us).

Given how sweet these things are, and how we have figured out how to trigger the Aux Video in so he can watch DVDs or use his car PC (including PowerFC readouts/monitoring) on it also, it is a very cool thing and well worth the effort. It is even more tempting for me, as I have a bolt-in place to put one in my R34 :thumbsup:

Ah this is great news Andrew, will definately be interested to see how this conversion goes! I've always wanted to chuck the MFD into my car, even when I had the GTS-t. Now that I own a GTR and know someone doing the mod it seems even more attractive. It would be great if you could take some notes down while doing the install just to point me in the right direction in case I too decide to bite the bullet and go through with it as well :cheers:

Cheers Andrew, sounds hard but as you said not impossible! Once I sell the GTR I think that'll be first on my list and yeah any tips would be much appreciated. (The Stags got a really sh!t dash for mounting one too, it's on an angle right on the middle which will probably be a bastard!)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Yes, it will take a fair amount of solution but the sodium citrate + citric acid + detergent is cheap stuff. Use laundry detergent instead of dish soap if you want to reduce the bubbles, also you could just buy sodium citrate and add some citric acid to the mix until you get to a weakly acidic solution if you don't feel like dealing with all the bubbling generated by adding everything together. For a fuel tank you need quite a lot of distilled water but it's probably worth the effort.

      Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
