I've recently purchased a little portable DVD player. It's a 7' screen that flips open like a laptop.

Nothing fancy, but considerably cheaper than the incar units, plus I can remove it to give me peace of mind.

As the player is slightly larger than the glove box, I can't just stick it in there, however I was thinking of mounting a frame in the glove box that has rails so you can pull it out like a drawer.

I'm not looking for something fancy and bling, more for practicle purposes of long drives up the coast etc...

How have you guys mounted your DVD players? any suggestions?

If your really stuck for ideas you could separate the screen from the unit and run some longer wires between both, then u could mount the screen in a different spot where it might not have fit with the whole unit, e.g glove box. but u might not be able to get it back together again. just an idea.

the thought did cross my mind to seperate the unit, but i was thiking it might be a better laternative if i can remove the entire unit when i need to....

I'm sure it's not exactly comon practice to use a portable dvd player since the market is now flooded with cd players that have built in screens, but i had a just a faint hope that some others might have gone down the cost saving path i'm atpemptng to take.

I'd rather spend good money on performance mods....

Seriously tho don't mount DVD player in the car, you are not gonna watch it while driving anyway plus the risk of defects, theft, . . . Since you have a portable player I reckon it should be good to just put it on top of the hangbrake box, fold both front seats forward and just watch the movie from the back seats. Plus aint most "actions" happening on the back seats anyway? :rolleyes:

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
