Hi all,

I know there are many threads re the factory screent, but i have tried searching many threads - and cannot find a simple answer to the question im after.

The factory touch screen that the S2 Stags come out with - do they have an AV input on the rear of the unit??

What connector is it?? RCA??

i want to install a dvd/dvix player replacing the factory mini disk/radio deck with one that will pick up Ausie stations as well as be able to play DVD's and DIV'X's through the factory screen - and I have checked that the deck I want to get does output in NTSC.

I want it all neat and all cables at the rear of the units - I dont want cable from the front running to the rear??

If anyone has a pic of the rear of the unit it will be most helpfull!!!!

thanks!! :starwars:

there are NO AV inputs on the back of the screen, only wires. AV1 are the mini-plugs on the front and AV2 are the RCAs at the rear of the car. If you are handy with wiring you can rewire the video AV1 plug internally into an RCA plug coming out the back of the unit.

Thanks for your reply chook!! :w00t:

but I didnt hear what i was hoping to hear!! LOL

So my question now is - is it possible to do what I want to do....???

I never knew I had AV2 RCA's at rear of car?? where are they?? Is that an input for Video into the screen??

If so could I just run an AV cable from the back, up to the front and into my Video OUT of my DVD player??

yes, just run the RCA from your dvd through centre console, under back seat, under rear floor panel to left rear door pocket. There you will find the factory TV tuner on the right as you look in with RCA inputs on the bottom. You may have to remove shroud or CD stacker to access the plugs on the tuner. Use a good quality shielded RCA cable. Extra info here, in case you havn't seen, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St....html&hl=tv

Now that is more along the lines of what I wanted to hear before spending cash for a new deck!! :D

speaking of that CD stacker - I havent been able to get it working - ahh well... wont need it when I can use my USB stick for music on the new deck!! :)

so that stacker will be ripped out anyways!!

cant wait for the weekend now!!

thanks again chook!! :w00t:

I also just changed to an ALPINE USB deck, no more discs.

FYI, I have found that a 4.0 meter RCA cable is the ideal length to run to the raer tuner.

i'll be trying to install the deck tomorrow.... i'v only had a quick look near the cd stacker - and cant see any way to take it out or get to the AV input......

do i need to take out that floor panel where the stacker is...???

i'll take some pics as i do it for any one else planning to do a similar thing....

remove center floor panels,

left floor panel,

rear black floor facia panel,

top side trim: remove rear seat release handle surround (pry out small button clip inside) , 2x10mm bolts (behind hangers), unclip top trim so its loose.

bottom side trim: remove 2 rear push pins, remove side flap door, remove clips on inner shroud above stacker.

Pull out lower trim so you have room to work.

Remove plastic inner shroud.

Remove cd stacker (3 bolts and a plug) and gently place in garbage bin.

You can now feel 3 RCA plugs under tuner, rear most plug is Video, then Right audio then left.

ok.... when organising a Wedding, you have sweet F**k All time to do anything else.... so i've been driving my car with everything dissmantled and no music/radio for a week..... (luckily i had the turbo to listen do :( )

but, i finally found some time last night and put it together.... and it works a Treat!!!!! Flick the deck over onto NTSC - turn it off, back on again for the NTSC to take effect and bingo!! DVD, DIVX, radio, etc....

Didnt have a chance to take pics last night.... but will try put some up today after work!!!

One quick question..... where's the best place/way to run a power cable for an amp....??? I'm thinking of putting a sub in the back... but couldnt figure out where to run the power cable through the firewall.... any suggestions...?? best/easiest way...??

Follow your accelerator cable towards the front right gaurd to the firewall where you will find

the big rubber boot/grommet, and push that sucka through.

Small hands helpfull here, then pull it though around the footwell area, under the carpet etc....

Or

Go from inside of the car to the upper right of the drivers footwell where you can just see the rubber boot/grommet and accelrator cable come through the firewall and push it through there, wander around to the engine bay side and pull it through. i did it this scond way and used a bit of coat hanger to hook the cable and pull it through enough to reach the battery.

Thought i'd post up a few pics of the final product.

Installing the deck is pretty much same steps as installing a deck and there's threads on it here.

The other pics are of where the screws are to take out the CD Stacker (make sure you gently place it in the bin :D ), and you can see i've half taken out the screws in the pic.

and another pic of where the AV input is for the screen, its in front of the CD stacker and I took a pic underneath of it which shows the RCA inputs.

Hope this helps others as Chooks instructions definitely helped me!!!

Fulock, are you able to play a PAL dvd thru this baby as is?

Yes I can! :(

the paused R34 in my pic above is from Too Fast Too Furiouse - that little 10mins clip at the start before the actuall movie starts....

Last night I was watching a divX disk full of TopGear!! :D

  • 2 months later...

i did the exact same thing today. Wired the headunit's parking brake wire to the earth so that it'll work with handbrake off.

However it seems the car has a sensor that detects when the car is put out of P or N... And turns the screen off when driving and just has a message on the screen (in jap, I assume says something like "screen disabled while vehicle in motion")

Does anyone know how I can make it so I can have the screen on constantly??? It's annoying cause I'm taking the car to Canberra in a few weeks and the DVD's there for my passengers to watch on the drive over and back.

The screen overide is quite complicated, requires a piece of aftermarket equipment, PM sent

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
