Bought a new in car retractable dvd unit. The thing is awesome, however i would like to watch tv stations on it as dvd's arent worth it as i live in a smallish town, drives are 15 minutes at the most.

I would like to know do i need a receiver to watch news stations etc?

How much are they?

Will the dvd deck i have be able to display tv stations using just the antenna without having to buy a receiver of some sort?

Any help woudl be greatly appreciated

the pioneer ones are about 550 buks or so if u get them from the right place (from memory)

and i would strongly recommend on not watching tv/dvd etc while driving. Ive done this b4 in my 33 and its pretty dangerous so I dont do it anymore

yeah i have a dvd headunit as well and i have had dvds running whilst driving and there is too much temptation to watch while ur driving so i wouldn't recommend it lolz

i have never stocked panasonic units before so i am not familiar with them but you will need to check if panasonic make a TV receiver that will interface with the dvd unit and touch screen ( asuming it has touch screen control) if they dont then you will need to buy a stand alone TV receiver that will just output into composite RCA. then youl be able to plug that into the video input on the screen and get the picture that way.the unit will need an external antenna and will have some sort of remote control that comes with it.

some cheapo dvd units will come with a tuner inbuilt but just about all of them will need some sort tunner add on to receive TV stations.

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
