Guys, basically I got one question.
So I still have the double din radio/navi in my car and besides that I only got unusable japanese frequencies in the radio, it only reads CDs and is 99% in japanese - it is working fine ^^
It also has a rear port ( cinch ) for the rear camera, which automatically starts and gets projected on the screen as soon as I hit the reverse gear - do many radios have such a port for a camera and will the be activated too directly or is it a question if additional signal cables from the gear to the radio to let it know, when to project the rear view?

Sorry if this isnt good english but as I said before, Im german. :D

 

Thank you guys ❤️
BTW: The radio is a clarion addzest something road explorer 3.0 HDD

Just about any double DIN car stereo with a big LCD screen would have a video input for reversing cameras.

I don't know about how the signal and screen are activated in your car. AFAIK R33s didn't come with this stuff. Are you talking about some later V series or Stagea? Actually, I don't even know how the camera and screen are activated in those later cars either. But it is quite possible that there is a "reverse" wire that comes from the gear shifter reverse switch or from the BCM that would tell the stereo to switch over to reverse camera mode. Or, it could be that the stereo automatically does so whenever the camera signal goes live.

Ah I see, but you couldnt say that they all got this input point in form of a cinch plug I suppose?

Yeye, its my R33 Gtst. Looks like I would have have to take the radio out and have a look where all wires are going or if one directs to the gearbox or something. Sigh ^^

It has to be one of two no?
Get the camera power as soon as you hit reverse and the screen recognizes that and switches OR
tell the screen when it is reverse and let it switch to the always powered cam

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
