Just finished installing my android 7 inch headunit using the genuine dash kit not the metra. Came up pretty good, even the steering wheel controls work without using a control box, because the headunit has a 2 channel steering wheel control connection.

Its a nu3001. Android 4.4 2gig ram and 1024 x 600 res. Sounds like a bad red but its the largest you can buy for android and looks crisp. I have the Bluetooth version of the obdii dongle also. Haven't tested it with this car yet. So the head unit has 2 Bluetooth receivers so that torque can run all the time with your phone.

^^ I bought one of those bluetooth OBDII dongles (that one above exactly), but it won't work with my V35, or my wife's J31 maxima.. I guess it might just be a faulty device?

Hmm didn't realize that there was a jodb2:blink: anyway that obd2 dongle works fantastic B)in my hyundai i30 and toyota prado 150 it tells me allmost everything and let's me clear faults code n and tells me the fault.

I have it running on my Samsung galaxy S4 via bluetooth and it's fast no lag maybe half a second:p

Sorry if I caused any confusion.;)

But it's just an idea that I think is cool to have.;)

Looks excellent... but where exactly do you plug that OBD2 adapter in your V35 Skyline... I've had one of those adapters for 12 months and didn't think it was compatible with my car... so I just forgot about it...

I have Torque Pro and would love to use that adapter with my V35!! :)

I did a little research there is OBD, OBD 1.5,

OBD2 which is the standard

Now Europe and Japan Wana be special so their is a additional EOBD and JOBD.

Some OBD I I adapter say it's compatible with JOBD and EOBD the one I saw was $19

The only thing that I found that it may have additional emissions read outs and the Japanese might in their symbol of writing helps if you read japanese.

I can't guarantee that's correct. Unless someone can 100% confirm that info.

Also if you live in perth I don't mind if you test my obd2 scanner out I would find it interesting.

My Garmin OBD2 bluetooth dongle, that talks to my satnav for Trip computer info, additional gauges, fuel consumption logging and error codes etc...

Did not work at all on my NM35, and actually gave the sat nav a minor heart attack.. On my wifes XC90, fired up first time worked perfectly.

Also worked without any issues on my KV36, as by now most Nissan have standardised to the global set up.

As Nathan has said only one that will work on M/V35 Nissans is the HKS OBD or a Consult III.

And back on topic;

The install looks great and I am sure that the funcionallity is awsome.. Many years ago I had a 7" Android tablet on a windscreen suction mount and it worked really well for nav and phone (it had a voice/data sim). In the end it was too much faff and was too big to be safe for the mount I had and went I to Garmin and sun visor Bluetooth, but it was great at the time.

This looks really good, been reading into these headunits lately.

Do you have the OBD working, and can you export video to the popup screen? would be handy to have gps on the popup and something else like a music app on the main, so you don't have to look down as much

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
