On the topic of having a CD player in the dash.. Why?

Why not just use a wireless hub and the EvoX dashboard? FTP music/DivX/Vcd to the harddrive and then use either MXM or XboxMediaplayer.

Very nice idea though, I don't go on long enough drives to take advange of having all that gear in my car. Prefer to keep all on the lounge room floor.

Good luck with the work.

yep you sure could, obviously you'll need a burner but yep there is no reason why not...

just remember the drive doesnt have shock protection so thats up to you, and if you skip on a dvd your gunna miss a shit load of data compared to a CDDA.... and for the price of a HDD why not just put a 250GB in and fill that?

so here the carbon fibre bonnet plan once the box is in :)

thanx fattdex for pimping the p/s work and milk for letting me 'burrow' your interior :)

Hey,

After a big night last night I eventually made it to the shops by about 4pm.

I have purchased the following:

300W inverter from Dick Smiths - $128 !!

30A Relay for power on/off from Jaycar with grovy adapter thing - $10

And yes, I caved in and I got the logitech wireless controller - don't laugh at my cyric! - it was just too tempting :P - $ridiculous

I also got the A/V pack and an additional generic power cord (is just the standard twin roundpin one) available from any Dick Smiths etc. This way I can just unplug the xbox inside and put it in the car without entire rewiring everything.

Already had cabling for power and high quality RCA's.

I will post some pics once I have it all installed - which will happen tonight/tomorrow ;)

logitech.... :S man you are impatient... for everybody who is wondering they were $139.95 at EB, but you can order then from lik-sang for $56.... heheh, i think ill be getting 4 extension leads and running them to the front panel in the ashtray!!!

just a guess but hal's relay is for turning on/off the power circuit between the distribution block and the inverter, obviously if the inverter is connected directly to the block then it will be powered up all the time - thus draining juice... so you just use the remote amp turn on wire from the HU to trigger the relay which will turn on the inverter.... now he has to modify the power switch so that as soon as the xbox's PSU receives power it boots up :P

im gunna do my setup very similar, except im putting the relay in between the battery and the distribution block, since the amps are going to be connected to the block they may as well power on at the same time as the xbox, so as soon as the HU powers up so does everything in the boot... might get a 40A just in case, dont wanna blow the boot up just yet!.... maybe should get an extinguisher as well!!!

here is a link to the relay to point u in the right direction http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...roduct_ID=15175

Yep you were right cyric.. :)

The headunit trigers the relay which supplies power to the inverter. The inverter is permanently on and the xbox has been modified to permanently stay on..

When you turn accesories on.. the lcd displays and you hear the xbox starting up sound.. the boom boom noise.. ehe :P

I have a photo of it installed in the boot:

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
