thanks for the guide, great info to have all in one place.

any word back on the possibility of an HDMI input special?

Sorry, I forgot to post the reply I got last Thursday from "Richard" in China.

Dear leon,

I got your meaning and transfered it to the manufactory. It is realizable to do that, however they have to change the components parts and it will make a big change of the inner structure and the outer shell.

One important point is not the cost, but the production run. The Min order to them is 500pcs, but I will do my best to discuss with them, please keep contact with me for this issues.

I'll ask them again once they've had a chance to think about it for a while. Hopefully they will be able to produce a couple of samples. Otherwise you might need to find 499 other people who want one :unsure: .

big change to inner and outer doesn't sound at all positive.

and no, unfortunately i don't have 499 friends...

keep me posted, but if there's no positive news within the next week or 2 i'll just go with the normal version and put a converter in

Haha. I wouldn't know 499 people, let alone have that many friends either.. I will keep you posted tho

Cheers, Leon.

With the help of Leon, i got my tuner installed today!

AMAZING!

love it to bits, great install, top quality product with alot of features!

TOP QUALITY PRODUCT!

clear, even while driving.

Thanks again Leon. if anyone else wants any information on the tuner from a customer prospective... just ask me.

Aww, shucks :blush: . What a glowing review.

I'm glad you are happy with it. It was an easy install for me - you did all the work & I just talked about cars :thumbsup: .

It was just confirmed that the manufacturer won't do a small production run (less than 500) of tuners with a HDMI input.

They added the AV input to the ones I got becuase that feature was part of the existing chipset & didn't require too much rejigging. I think the HDMI input requires more extensive R & D.

Sorry, there's no good news. :(

12v HDMI to composite converter?

I think he has/can get an RCA - HDMI cable (or converter) but was concerned about loss of quality going from digital to analog & wanted to keep the signal digital for as long as possible..

I don't think there will be much difference since the OEM screen is low res anyway - unless the idea was to run it into a HD screen

I don't think you will see any difference in quality if you get a HDMI to RCA or composite converter unless you are running a 50 inch screen in your car?

Now there's an idea! I'll measure up the back to see if one will fit. The vehicles behind would love it if it was faced out the back... :laugh: .

have got the TV tuner installed and works a treat. Really good product. I am quite surprised at signal quality. The reason I am posting this is that I would recommend the tuner to anyone with a V or M35.

Installation wasn't to hard either , for a novice like me anyway , lol

yes i have to agree it is a great product. I ended up pulling half my boot lining down and finding the 2 x clarion antennas and wireing them up. The only issue i have with it is the reception when i am traveling. When the car is sitting still picture is clear but when i travel it seams to drop out alot. I feel that around my area i get crap reception but that shouldnt account for everywhere. May also be my tuner box as one of the arial jacks snapped off the curcuit board and i had to solder it back on. great product and exerlent service

Was it the f-type aerial connector on the new tuner that broke Josh? If it was faulty let me know & I'll send you another one. You should get good reception pretty much all over Brisbane. There may be a few dead spots behind big buildings & hills, but my (very brief) testing there showed great results.

it was the very top arial f connector that you plug into. female port. ive never had good reception with my install. only when stationary. may just be a black sheep

I'll send you another so you can swap it out to test. Could also be a stray 'hair' of the shield braid touching the centre conductor on one of the aerial coaxs, but will be easier to fault find with another tuner.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
