hi all,

not gona lie... i miss the 260... so the rs4 is likely to be converted in the not to distant future.

just a thaught... i also want to get onto Chook Re tv receivers,

how ever i know you cannot watch these whilst the cars in drive... how ever with the manual box in. what gear would xanavi think im in??

im pretty sure an answer on how an auto stag can 'watch-drive' hasn't been found yet... would it cut me off all together? or do you think it would let me?.... im bout to do nisstune? maybe theres something in there we might be able to play with?? who knows??

if i unplugged all the plugs on the auto box, and had a crack at using the stock tv... would i get an answer??

cheers :verymad:

Aren't the tv tuners/displays hooked up to the handbrake switch, anyway? So I'm guessing it wouldn't matter what gear you were in, or if the car was auto or manual - as long as the handbrake is on, it will display. So if you "short out" that wire (or put a switch on it) to make the display think the handbrake is on, then it will work fine.

it does read the gears, easiest way is plug in those japanese overide boxes, http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/kong/y0000002983.html, about $130 if you have contact in japan. You are unlucky you dont have one fitted already from japan, have you checked behind your screen ? Otherwise you could spend hours trying to work out the wiring, as from memory probably around 40 wires into the xanavi unit. Think Andy does a solution for the M35's, not sure if this would be the same in the C34s.

If your coming to the stagea cruise on sunday i might be able to have a look. If its the same as the M35 then there will be a speed sensor wire that blocks the screen when you hit 5kmph and the hand brake that blocks the screen. I have an override box for an M35 if its the same as C34 you can buy that. Ill try and check some drawings later.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
