hello all.

the names johnny but i dont mind if you call me by my display name because thats my nickname.

anyways a little bit about myself i live on the mornington peninsula in Victoria. i just turned 21 and waiting to get my full license in August.

work: i work in a night club on the weekends trying to earn some coin while im still studying

school: im currently studying graphic design 1st year diploma.

current car: 1997 lancer ce coupe nothing special just something to get me from A to B only thing decent in the car would be the stereo full pioneer system splits in the doors 6x9's in the rears and two 12 inch subbies in the boot. i love my music cant live a day without it.

i thought it was about time that i became a registered member of this site. i have spent a few years on here having a look here and there getting ideas on how to modify skylines and basically keeping upto date with whats new in the skyline world.

in August i hope to buy my self a second car which may be a skyline r33 series 2 black or midnight purple with or without a sunroof or a skyline r34 GTT black or bayside blue with or without a sunroof and then using the car as a base build it up from the ground up into my preferred vision of what the car should look like.

im an avid fan of the friday night cruises in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. i've seen some skyline groups driving around some friday nights. im usually there buy aat the moment work is more important then leisure because i need the coin.

anyways theres a little bit about myself. i hope to be making new friends here and meeting new people and thank you for accepting me into your community.

cheers.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.

      Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
