Like the title says, does anyone on here own/owned an R34 with the pop up screen on the dash where the 3 center gauges or fixed mfd goes in the GTT and GTR? This one;

post-53546-1264052906_thumb.jpg

How does it turn on? Is there like an on/off switch? Is it wired into the ignition or Do you need the factory head unit to activate it? (make it pop up and turn on)

Does anyone know how the get the signal to the screen? RCA plugs ect.

Does the screen work similar to the fixed GTR screen as far as wiring work? I've found heaps of infor on here about the GTR screens but very little about the units I'm talking about.

I'm looking at doing a conversion in my car and hooking up a car pc to it. If anyone here had done this I'd love to hear from them or anyone in the Newcastle area that I could actually see working first hand would be fantastic.

Cheers in advance guys.

I don't.... it used to pop up or down whenever it felt like it lol

Then my battery died and when you disconnect the battery it kills your head unit/s so now it just stays down.

Lol fair enough then. Can you get the screen fixed?

I don't know :down: I'd like to use it for something, but I haven't looked into it, except to read what info's on here which seemed to be different for each case so no real standard answers on what's possible and what's not.

You at least have a Nissan logo... I just had the blue screen of death haha... you might have more luck than me :P

I just want to be able to play music again... the bottom HU died when the battery was disconnected as well :)

Intersting, is it motorised or spring loaded?

Motorised. Im interested if anyone has any idea of the wiring pins on the back of the tv unit (the big plug and the small 5 pin plug). All i want to know is can you make it open & close without the control unit - just suppling power to those pins.

You can find some of the wiring diagram on here if you search for it long enough using the screen model as the keyword but what you wont find is that you need the unit just to get the screen to work at all.

PM Chris Rogers.. i'm sure he can do something with some of them (from memory) but if he cant then no one can lol

Yeah that's what I ended up having to do. He basically said what I posted before; You can make them raise and lower but not much else.

works off the top navi unit. if that has video output of ANY sort then I can do something with it. thing being everyone is too much of a tightarse to let me try :)

I have a E50 El grand (same system) that has TV/navi on it. there is a big thread on this thing inthe car audio area. I posted up a lot of images on it and gave instructions on how to manually open the thing.

if all you have is the screen then I would suggest ripping it out. you need a data stream to fire it up and set the correct input on it. (it has 3 inputs.) there is no other wqay to make it run.

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By marni · Posted

      Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
