Using one of these: http://www.altronics.com.au/cat.asp?cat=11...rp=424&id=K2750

Lots of custom work involved, so don't ask me how much erik!

Also have a look at http://www.mp3car.com if it's still around..

I've got a 40 gig MP3 box in my R33 - bought it here - http://www.ssiamerica.com - it's wicked! 6000 songs at 160kps with still 6 gig free! :P

Lol guys,

If i can hook up my laptop and get tv or using laptop monitor ,

I can play songs, watch video, watch tv, play games as well etc :P

Do you think I can go to some workshop to ask for this idea?

It will rocks , if a workshop can do this.

do you think I can remove my laptop monitor and put into my car ? :)

already thought about this (check the xbox thread)... obviously if its still connected to the notebook then there is no problem... however if you intend on using just the screen as a TV then its a bit tricky...

you either need to build a signal converter to take the tv signal from your AV box -> VGA(DB15) which you can buy for just under 100... alternatively you can always try to decode the signaling on your notebook monitor (there are sites on the net that list these for some screens) and then build yourself a litle converter box so the tv will take a pal input signal...

basically = pain in the ass, if your doing this to save money then spend 300 on a shonky tv instead of a nice 2-6k indash one

yeah, that mp3 car site rools.

there is a kit they sell which guides you through ripping apart your home pc and hard-installing the HD and CPU in your boot to play just about whatever you want....DVDs, Mp3s etc.

I had/have a nerd mate who in year 12, was too povvo to buy a head unit, so he installed an AC/DC converter and ran his computer and a solid state amp (A/B class) with a dual battery in his boot. he had the computer cd-rom drive installed in the din slot in his dash mounted on spring dampers....

....he also restored a model A ford, so I shouldnt laugh, but I did.

i'v done it before in a mates car but ours wasent a permanent

system all we had was laptop sound card to av out to av cords to amp in the boot becase all the speakers were connected to the amp this worked well power was suplied by the 12V charger unit for the laptop not like it was installed just sat on the dash or on the seat most of the time did the job though :)

if u really wanted to mod it u can split the screen and the keyboard into to pieces and just ran longer wires to your screen mounted where ever then have base unit/keyboard in glove box

the Tv issue would be intresting to see done good luck with it

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
