R34 Tv Screen

[DAMSXC]

hey guys

im new to skyline world and recently bought a 99 R34.

it has a tv screen with lots of jap writing. tv is not working, radio is not working, and when i play dvd's i can see the pic when im driving,( just sound).

i think some safety shit.

anybody knows anything about this problems

tanx guys

i doubt jap TV tuners are compatible with AUS TV. Also, you need a frequency convertor for the radio to work properly. I think if you don't, the radio stations are shifted like 10Mhz down?

The GT-R screen -- its known as the Multi Function Display (MFD) -- isn't "pop up": its fixed. The screen you might be referring too in the GTT is the naviation option that some GT-Ts have.

DAMSXC: If by radio "not working" you mean you can't tune it to Australian stations, is because you need a frequency converter. As for the screen not displaying DVDs, does it work with the handbrake on?

by australian law the handbrake must be up.. in order for u to watch moving images on your screen....

id assume uve tried watching in your vehicle already.. whilest its parked...

otherwise.. its just a matter of grounding your handbrake signal from the monitor

Then its working correctly. You are not meant to be able to view DVDs whilst the car is in motion. As already mentioned, you can get around that by fooling the DVD/TV into thinking the handbrake is always on.

and when you do the ABS system is also being fooled with..

Just to be clear, I wasn't actually recommending he make modifications You've also got the fact that its illegal as well.

out of curiosity, how much is a frequency convertor? and how do you fit one?

[someonestolecc]

Frequency convertor is like $10-20 and sits is basically a plug that goes into the antenna plug of your HU and the antenna itself plugs in the other end... it just sits between your antenna and head unit.

Hi Guys,

I got a 99 R34 GT-T, and the in-dash display won't pop up. The upper lid can be lifted by hand, and I can see (probably) the LCD panel etc, but they won't lift. My mate could read Japanese (Kanji, I think) and I can figure out what the buttons say. However, some ppl reckon that it's the pully mechanism thats not working. but, since I cant see anything happening when I press the buttons (Open/Close etc), I am wondering whether it could be electrical? Any help is appriciated. Also, since I live in SE suburbs, Victoria, someone mentioned that there is a guy in Rowille who has fixed one of these...

Thanks
