Yep, same, mate.

I've always tried to follow the "do it once, and do it properly" philosophy.

Now to decide if I wanna spend big on a new head unit with reverse camera, sat nav, iPod connectivity and blue tooth, or just update to something with iPod and BT only. I've got a pretty recent Garmin GPS with free updates for life, I just need to keep it in the car. I just hate having hundreds of different things hanging off the windscreen and dash. Would much rather an all-in-one solution and have the convenience of optional reversing camera available too.

eonon have some ok stuff if you don't want to pay $2k for an alpine gps one (or whatever they cost

my mate had one in his evo9 and it was pretty good for the price they cost (was a few years ago too)

some of them run android now too

:yucky:

Tez is using an Eonon Double din in his Evo; maybe you should have a look and see what it is like?

Sounds good, but he was still working out some of the functionality when I was last in it.

I might, actually. I need a single-DIN unit, which makes the number of choices a whole lot slimmer. Still, I'll have a look at Terry's Evo when we catch up next, maybe next week at the Club Exec meeting.

Haven't been on for a while. But ripped out the POS Asuka TV tuner thing and replaced it with a RaspPi running OpenELEC with a custom skin...works a treat. All I need now is a GPS receiver and touchscreen overlay...

I finally got my turbo replaced and now running my HKS 2530 that was sitting in the shed for about 2 years

How hard was it to run the RaspPi in the your car ironpaw and what are you using for a screen

Hey,

it was pretty easy since I just reused most of the existing wiring that was there for the Asuka tuner (RCA vid/audio in)

My stag has the standard pop up display so I used that. All I had to do was wire in a USB port in the cubby hole near the rear gate. Also downloaded a CarPC skin with auto resume script so it remembers my last played position. Bought a cheapo IR remote from ebay to complete the setup.

booked in for a dynotune. a proper one, not this run-in tune Ive been on for too long

excited :)

going to adjust timing to get rid of the cold start flat spot (been there since I swapped out the CAS), and tune for high boost

not sure what boost to aim for, its a hyrbid GT3076IW-BB core with ported front stock housing and .73ar rear

apparently good for ~ 1.5bar

Im thinking let them go for it on the dyno to see where they can get to safely.

309kw @ 19psi dropping to 17 (i think :P)for my 2nd run in tune on the heartbreaker dyno. Running it rich until full boost tune at 3000kms... 800 to go :D Full boost will hopefully be around 25psi with the 3076r and Tomei built motor, I guess we'll see where she starts to choke.

Redline is now 8000rpm with the new harmonic balancer, which is entertaining lol. The Old Girl actually feels quick, now to get her fast...

I reckon the colour coding looks great, whole car is looking good!

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      By ValgeKotkas · Posted

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
