Hi All,

Do you know where if at all anyone here in WA can fit the GTR34 center LCD console...

I went down to local radio & hifi shop and they had some interesting double din lcd tv / cd players that had a g sensor and gps .. some pioneer deck .. cant remember what it was but that started me wishing for an r34 lcd.

But other than that what other decks you think are cool to have on a skyline.

Or get a single din, foldout LCD and run a CarPC with Datascan..

Have you even thought about what you would do with the GTR screen? are you hoping you get all the fancy GTR readouts? because I don't think that's going to happen by just installing the screen :D

Ok giving it a miss then, Datascan is a bit overkill, just wanted it for the wow factor.

Not overkill, very handy for troubleshooting, diagnostics and peace of mind :P

I was running it in the skyline on the carpc for a couple of years and am putting a similar setup in the wagon soon.

Cool, could you point me to some links on what it can do and looks like / where to get it. Maybe a photo of your own setup?

This is the PC I have (I have two, one installed in the Skyline, one waiting to be installed in the Stagea): http://www.mini-box.com/VoomPC-2-Car-PC-Ba...mp;category=101

I had to get a hdd, dvd drive and a stick of ram locally.

I was running a 7" in-dash LCD (these aren't cheap, if you don't want it to fold away then you can go for something cheaper), that screen has been removed to go into the Stagea and I will be putting a USB touchscreen in the Skyline.

No pics of the setup :) I did have some up on the forums a couple of years ago just after I installed the setup but they are gone :P

Ok this looks plausible.. I'm thinking along the lines of a touch screen and windows media center ... maybe asking a too much lol..

Hard part is interfacing the PC to engine telemetry, how would one actually tap into the cars ecu.

Theres a guy on here who had a pretty decent setup.

7" double din touchscreen, search for liliput touchscreen on the american ebay and thats what he was using , cost 450 or so i think

Had a little netbook in the glovebox nad was using centrafuse media centre or something to control it

Had a consult cable and that as well.

If you were gonna set something up, I'd do this.

Pretty much the same as my setup except I used a dedicated carpc with a proper 12v dc-dc power supply (intelligent, it won't just cut power when you turn the car off, I have mine set to wait 30 seconds then soft-off the PC).

Interfacing to the engine telemetry is easy, I ran a consult cable permanently plugged into the carpc. I used Nissan Datascan for the data and/or logging, they even have a carpc version now that is more purely for readouts than diagnostics/logging.

7" single din touchscreen, also have a trackball stashed next to the transmission tunnel for fiddly stuff and have been meaning to get a roll-up keyboard.

I use RoadRunner as a front end to play music/videos/etc but mostly sit on the Datascan dashboard screen with RPM and Water Temp gauges, RPM and speed alert.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
