From what I've played with recently (a mates MFD), if your screen has red halo, patches etc then the LCD itself is burned/stuffed.

I did the usual polarised film replacement and new backlight and the red defects wacky colour are still there. Even turning the film around because I thought it was backwards didn't improve it.

I f I have my way then the screens for these will be universal shortly. I am modding one for another application and using an ENTIRELY different screen to do so.

just wondering mate, is that exactly the same as yours looked before you replaced the film? or was worst, like as bad as mine? (photos on the previous page) my film has arrived, was going to attempt it this weekend.

thought id update. finally got around to giving this ago. with all the advice on here. only took 1.5 hours, start to finish. unfortunately the film does nothing for the red/orange patch halo. was worth a try though.

Other than jdm auto link, is there anywhere else the screen can be bought?

Screen is available here:

http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale/wholesale-sharp-lq6bw506.html

That's if you have the sharp unit.

Bear in mind that is JUST the screen. No input circuits.

Thanks! alot cheaper than the $480 from autolink. yeh, mine car is an early 99 model, so im lead to believe that is the sharp? (correct me if im wrong?)

2 questions, whats involved with putting it in? im not to good with electrics, but if its just unplug, and replug, screw and unscrew i should be right hahah

And wich one do i need, they all have the same model number, but different description on the link.

cheers in advance

UPDATE. got the screen off alibaba.com for $95 posted. (thats including an extra $6 for express postage). there where some sellers selling even cheaper lol. but didn't wanna push my luck with the tight assness. was peice of cake to put in, plug and play as i expected. works perfect.

Either way, i still have the lcd film if anybody in PERTH wants it they can have it for free. ive only cut out one attemp (didn't work for the orange patch). so theres atleast another 5 attemps left as i bought the big one. (seems a waste to throw it out)

So who did you use?

I need a screen as well. Last time I tried to buy one for a customer I got screwed over.

Link would be handy.

cheers for the link btw, would have never thought alibaba.com. this is the actual product/seller i chose.

$95 posted express (bought on Thursday, came the following Thursday)

  • AAHH33 can i get some of your lcd films? dont mind to share the cost with you, im based in perth

its all good man. if you want to come pick it up. you can have it. i dont need it. im NOR btw

Been using various suppliers from there for years.

Wasn't too fussed about giving away the LCD suppliers as its not really my market.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered one.

ok, i noticed this happening from time to time before i replaced the screen, and hoped replacing the screen would fix it. but from time to time the mfd is just a blank white screen.

and since i have replaced the screen it is frustrating me now. for example, out of the last 5 drives in the car, 2 out of the 5 times the screen has just been blank white. goes white, then i turn the car off and on again, and its back to normal/

Anybody know what is causing this?

Box it up with your old screen and send it across. I had one do this before and sorted it. I have the schematics for the MFD & the display itself.

    • Hey guys, Just want some advice on r34 GTT ac system. Since I’ve owned it, the ac compressor, doesn’t matter the set temperature or ambient temperature, runs for around 10 seconds then disengages the clutch, then re-engages everywhere 30 seconds or so and keeps repeating this.    is this normal?   I had it recharged today as it was slightly low and thought it would fix it but still does it. it cools fine in summer even prior to the recharge, except for the usual warmup when stopped or in traffic (still yet to wire overheat fan to on with ac)   any thoughts would be much appreciated 
    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
