I put an in dash one in recently, and i love it:) wouldn't look back, and when i sell the car i can take it with me...

Just for your interest, i was looking at buying a civic vtir before the skyline and it had a tv their, and i ended up not buying it for that simple reason.. as to get rid of it i would of had to replace the whole dash, and he wanted to take it.

My suggestion, if you want a tv or tvs get an in dash one, and put two in the back of your head rests...

mate i rekin its a top idea...it would look so mad if you had it properly installed and the screen sat flush with the dash. you could make it look 100% factory.

as for the law about TV's while driving...there is certain loop holes....the obvious thing is it has to be wired to the handbrake, so that it only works when the hand brake is on...but thats as simple as making a by pass so that you can use it when the hand brake is off...

the new BA fords have screens in them...so there is definitely loop holes in the law. its a good idea man, just needs to be thought out properly....

great idea though, i rekin it would look sweet as!

I will be doing something to that nature with my laptop screen. I already have a monitor in the top slot for the stereo, but stand-alone is sounding pretty sweet. :(

My idea will include a fibreglass housing for the angle to be perfect for the driver though, no flush mount on mine. Mix of because i love doing fibreglass and because it's meant for me anyways.

i have been tryin to get the proper authorities position on the matter (the rta) but so far i have just been passed around from one operator to the next, they dont reply to my e-mails and its really starting to bug me ...

think maybe its about time i payed them a visit grrrrr.....

Hay buddie, i've just recently got a 7" tft screen from side to side, and it does take a fair while to do it, my mate did my system for me, i'll see if i can get a picture for you, and yeah, you lose a passenger side air vent, and you have to use zip ties to hold the screen mount in place, and then pop the screen in place, i also have a clarion 7" touch screen in my dash as my main head unit.

youi get ots of lookers. i;ve been pulled over by the cops too and they didn't say anything abt it beeing illegel having a screen in the passenger side dash. you must have a passenger if you have the screen on while driving.

i'll get some pics up soon

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
