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.

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
