After nearly 3 months of ownership I finally had 5 seconds to myself to have a look around my PNM35. I'm stoked to report it's in astoundingly good nick, with the only signs of deterioration underneath being the outer wall of the exhaust rusting in a couple of small spots. Good excuse for an exhaust change then. :P

When I start the car the DVD player makes a shuffling noise, the radio works (albeit on Japanese frequencies) and the aircon seems fine on every setting, but the pop-up screen shows no signs of life at all, no noises to indicate it's trying to come out or anything. Note this is a non-Bose setup.

I had a look in the driver's footwell fuse box and as far as I can tell the only slot missing a fuse is one in the middle on the top row, which the diagram doesn't have a rating for, just some Japanese text in a smaller box. Is this supposed to have a fuse in it, and if so what rating?

Under what circumstances does the screen come up? Whenever the car is turned on? Or just when certain functions are performed such as putting the car in reverse? It's hard to diagnose an issue when I don't know if it should actually be doing anything in the first place.

I tried searching but every topic I looked at seemed to end with an unanswered question or wasn't quite what I was after.

Thanks in advance.

Screen will only come up when you press the button on the top. If no action, then it's ok to pull up the screen. That might provided enough motivation to get the motor working.

Mine had a fit once, when it would only come up 1/2 way, after pulling it up to the top of the travel it has worked fine.

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try. Is there any easy/non-damaging spot to get something like a screwdriver under to lift it? It's completely within the housing so I can't grab it with my fingers.

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
