still trying to figure out where to put a 10" screen... looks like I'll end up making a fibreglass centrepiece for it to fit under, above my double DINs... thank god for fibreglass...

strutto - wat brand are ur monitors?

wats the picture quality like?

The brand is Super... The box has a big "Using SHARP technology" slogan to fool unwary customers :D I have seen better quality screens for sale elsewhere but they are over double what I paid for 2...

The picture quality is fine. Not Loewe TV quality, thats for sure... But good enough for a car...

HTH

That's the model that uses the recycled sharp LCD panels. So yeah, it is actually Sharp the controller is made in house at the manufacturing plant in China, and the controller chip comes from Taiwan, from a company called MCE Microelectrics. :D

MJ,

I've got three young boys so it's mainly to keep them entertained on long drives... Shrek, Monsters Inc, Willy Wonka, The Emperors New Groove, Repeat :D

We drove to Sydney recently and it was excellent on the way... We hired out about 6 DVD's and it really helped to pass the time... We do quite abit of travelling as the nearest relos are about 4 hrs away.

But wank factor 110% for sure! Only reason I did it in the first place was cause a mate has a V8 Soarer with a dash screen that he got working with a DVD player... Then he got a roof mount as well! The effect on his kids was astounding... And I couldn't let him outdo me :D

But day to day - we don't even turn it on... When we're travelling - it's worth it's weight in gold considering what it cost me. :(

I know cos I was looking into importing em in quantity to sell here, coz shops like autobarn n other retailers put a 200% markup on the units. So I was contacting most manufacturers in China n Taiwan about their stuff.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
