Im thinking that if the HR3 can record tv and radio it MIGHT record the av inputs aswell. Because I want to be able to have an extra camera inside the car which can record things, just in case my car gets broken into then I will have there pictures. Ha Ha.

careful what you record. you may see things you don't want to.. LOL

How good is the tv reception while driving? Is there a hidden aerial in the M35's somewhere? :D

The TV reception is mostly good whilst driving around urban areas. You will get bad spots and you can pick these as all the houses in the area will have large external antenna on the outside of their homes.

The M35 has 4 aerials built into the rear windows, 2 on each side.

Just a quick question why we are on the topic of the aerials.

Is there an adapter that can be used to plug the aerial inputs into the HRII or HRIII or is the only way to splice and dice with the f-connector?

If you had the time, an adapter could be made up if you visit Jaycar, but wont be as neat, and probably lose some signal strength, cutting them into 2 RG59 screw terminals is very efficient and tidy. I wouldnt worry about cutting them, those plugs have absolutely no purpose once the car left japan.

I might talk to Jaycar anyway, there is one up the road and I'm just interested in what solution they could come up with.

Can you tell me what the factory connections are called? i.e. are they a special japanese aerial connection?

Stephen sometimes there is no benefit in reinventing the wheel. Especially when it is going to cost more money.

The current method is very effective and cheap. Something I thought you would appreciate at the moment.

LOL I appreciate it, I just am a big fan of plug & play as apposed to cutting wiring etc. I know, man up! lol

so now i ordered a HR3, what else do i need to install it? these connector things u all talking about... where and how much would be apreciated..

You need a cable from Ducati02 that allows you to run from the hriii (3 rca) to the factory tuner (custom white plug), ducati02 or andy65b will be able to provide more information on that for you.

Hi guys,

If there's have an HR3 left ill grab one. PM me with payment details as I cant PM anyone yet.

You need a cable from Ducati02 that allows you to run from the hriii (3 rca) to the factory tuner (custom white plug), ducati02 or andy65b will be able to provide more information on that for you.

And more info on supply of this cable too.

Cheers,

M35 owners should be aware that the rear window tv antenna wires are ONLY on models that were optioned with factory tv.

if youre considering installing a screen in your non-tv/gps equipped M35, youll need antennas also

same as HR2 but with usb input for playing video and audio files on usb stick. Recommended that M35 owners buy a USB extension cable allowing access to the UBS port, since tuner is usually tucked away out of reach.

Nice :D

Does the TV tuner i ordered come with USB plug in too? It would be killer to be able to play music videos from USB on the screen.

HR3 is TV and USB, HR2 is only TV, both have AV inputs. I have been reassured from Asuka that the USB input will output to NTSC but not the AV input(as was case with HR2), so reverse cameras still need to be NTSC. (for those who did not know, there is a reverse camera switching function)

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
