Hi, some of you may know I have installed a CarPC in my skyline. I have always been planning to put a touch screen overlay onto the screen to really enable the UI. I posted this as a new thread, as its more than just about my install.

Today, I found that 3M actually make a Capacitance touch screen, while all the others are resistive (think of the difference between the iPhone screen and those that came before). Also, I saw a picture (lost it now) that compared the visibility between a resistive overlay, and this 3M product, and it was like comparing glass to looking through a stocking (ie the 3M product looked crystal clear). This one is about 91% clarity, and the others I have seen are 85%.

I have roughly measured my screen, and it looks like this one would fit, but maybe a little big, but workable.

3M™ MicroTouch™ System SCT3250EX 7.29" Surface Capacitive USB Touch System, Standard aspect ratio

From what I have found so far, I saw a 15" one for sale at $169, but have yet to find the 6" one anywhere. I will call them Monday myself. Maybe someone like Chris may be able to get a bulk trade buy or something.

    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
    • Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.
    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
