its a JDM item so its locked to region 2 for a start. . easier to run an aftermarket item in there. see brian at autotainment for this.

do you have the TV setup as well?

(this is a setup question - no TV means its done differently.)

i've got a JVC KD-DV4306 which I just popped in there which plays DVD's but does not have a screen.

Due to safety issues i'm not super fussed if I cannot connect it to the MFD but if not I wouldn't bother with a a/m screen.

So the MFD is locked to region 2? not sure how a cable is locked to region 2, if so does that mean it can be rewired to region 4?

Hurray sourced the part number from Chris Rogers (big up man, thanks alot!) and installed it into the GTR and now I got DVD running through the MFD!

sweet...all you need is a deck that outputs composite in NTSC and the above clarion part.

I bought a JVC KD-DV4306 which is a single DIN headunit that can play dvd's. As it has no screen you have to get an external one, so $199 for the headunit and the cable to the GTR's MFD and DVD with divx playback! works great!

Also means I could get rid of the 2 DIN japan HU and put a pocket in for some space to put my phone. Hurray!!

Recommended! If anyone wants pics of it (it's nothing special) just ask.

to answer a couple of PM's I got...the screen works fine to play region 4 encoded (australian) dvd's, and can play PAL or NTSC dvd's that are burnt copies. The unit itself can also do divx, mp3, wma, etc. The headunit does the work in converting the final signal to NTSC so that it can be output onto the GTR's MFD which can only show NTSC (PAL signal makes the screen B&W and interlace).

the cable that Chris has makes a RCA socket available on the MFD, no soldering or anything like that needed. Just pop the MFD out and connect the cable up to the composite out on a headunit. Just make sure the headunit you have can output to NTSC and all you'll need is the cable.

here's a dodgy phone pic of it in action...

I've done this mod last night, but i can't get a nice colourful image, seems that my headunit isn't outputting to ntsc. I get a flickering image in black and white . I have an AVIC F910BT which i can't find the output options. I'm guessing the video output is set by the headunit by the region. Anyways, i'll try to play a copy of a dvd tonight and see if that changes anything. I played a video from my iphone and it did the same flickering image. that's stupid that i can't change the output of the headunit. I' m tempted to start looking for pan to ntsc video converters.

Sorry to bring up old thread, I got my hands on one of those Clarion cables, and gonna plug it into my MFD.

I just wanna know, apart from DVD/video from the JVC HU, what else can I feed into that lead?

Any reverse camera that has NTSC output? Or is there anyway to convert the MFD to PAL?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
