didnt Garmin make one?

Garmin have maps, but we need someone that can somehow hack them and allow them to display in the Xanavi system we have.

You wouldn't know anyone like that would you? :whistling:

Maybe talk to Chris Rogers on what needs to be done... or search, I think it was covered somewhere in here last year or the year before

I might, but you would need to get an original garmin map for me, thats up to date.

And it would need to be hacked everytime it gets updated. not only that I would need an extra SAT NAV system out of a stag that I can give to him to hook up at home..

to be totally honest though the only thing that screen is good for is a trip computer and a reversing camera. (and even that needs hacking in.) forget about the rest.

if you want navi - bite the bullet and pop a 2DIN unit in there. far more effective and you gain a lot over the OEM setup and save sanity when the 6cd packs up.

and a certain one at that.

at one time I was going to do drop in units for these. I may still do that..

thing being though most of you lot won't pay for the time it takes to actually set one up properly in these cars so most of the time I tend not to bother..

my point exactly. may as well just go buy a GPS it would be a quarter of the price aswell.

F me .. All the geeks in the world and getting the sat nav to work in oz is like trying to get to mars! What a joke.

So this seriously can't be done? At all? So devo right now

champagne taste on a beer budget... seriously. if you are absolutely DEAD keen on doing this work out how to code a hitachi SH4 processor, reverse engineer the OEM unit at a hardware AND software level then give the solution away.. that is pretty much the question you asked.

the shorter answer is NO! not possible.

search me on this topic and you will see a few other ways of skinning this car. most are a 4 figure exercise..

meah if its cant be done that way then there has to be an after market device that can be patched into the factory screen without interrupting the other functions.

4 figures... f**k that,,, just use my head... costs nothing

you can get a garmen gvn for $450

no offence at all intended... but 4 figures... really?

You can put an aux AV signal into the factory tuner that can display whatever you like. Got a gps with AV output? Why not a Carputer or tablet/mobile device? Plenty of options. Do a search on TV tuners for starters as there's answers on how to interface with the tuner/screen & all sorts of infomation & ideas to get you thinking about the possibilities.

Get a samsung 7" Galaxy tab. Stick to existing 7" display with double sided tape. done. $450...

:rofl2:

Or spend 1-2K on an aftermarket double DIN GPS/Media player...

your choice. Not sure why people are so caught up with using the stock display for GPS...

I mean, do you really want to use this to control the GPS?

I'd rather be able to remove it from the car & use in my other car; or replace it when it gets old.

I rarely even use the display anyway, if I had my time again; I'd have the pocket, and set the Navman up in there.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?

      Hiya!

      Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?

      Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
