    How to :Install a functional DVD theater system in your 240z

    How to : Install a functional DVD theater system in your 240Z or 280Z!!! :)

     

    This is a small documentary/how to : install for a cheap ass.. ghetto DVD setup for your vehicle.

     

    Total cost : $290 bux

    What do I get? :

    -7" Widescreen LCD monitor

    -Mobile DVD player that plays DVD's, CD's, MP3's, VCD's, SVCD's and has a BUILT IN TV TUNER! To watch TV on the road :)

    -FM Modulator

     

    What is an FM Modulator? Let's say you have a CD player or a stock radio and you don't have the option to plug in RCA audio or video wires into the back of the radio/cd reciever. What an FM modulator does is it converts the RCA audio cables (Red and White like for your TV) to an FM frequency like 88.3 mHZ so I can tune to 88.3 FM and I can hear my movie playing or video games, etc. It plugs directly into your original antennea.

     

    This is what I started with.. lots of wires and lots of wires :)

    Everything is hooked up and tested so now I can install everything nice and clean. I want a professional look.

    You have the option to plug everything into the Cigarette Lighter, but instead I hardwired everthing to the fuse bus. Sounds complicated but all you do is simply splice the wire to the Radio or Cig. Lighter cable and solder the wires onto it. Or you can wrap it around the wires and electrical tape it for a secure connection. It's not recommended but it works. This pic shows the connection of the DVD player and the LCD monitor to the RADIO wire right after the fuse bus. I attacthed it to the radio so when I turn on the car to ACC the radio and the DVD player and the LCD monitor turn on all at once, so it doesnt drain power all the time from the battery.

    Opinions.... Automatic tranny w/High Speed TQ or 5-speed?

    oh yeah, he has absolutely no problem blowing the tires off. to control your rpm's on take off all you do is power brake it. he has pulled off a 1.57 60' time on BFG drag radials launching at 10 psi i think

     

    How do you power-brake? Just hold the brake, and slam the gas? with my engine, and stock torque converter.... it will stall at 2,500 RPM and stay's there.. then I can take off...

     

    but I have never gotten my tires to chirp or squeel, or peel out.. even on the lower gear, (1).

    *then again I don't have my L28eT yet.. so maybe...

     

    but I am leaning more towards an 5-speed.. i just think it'll be more fun... I do drive a sports car... so i dunno.. i just don't know

    Opinions.... Automatic tranny w/High Speed TQ or 5-speed?

    in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Well.. I am absolutly going nuts, because I want my car to launch right off the line... but there are advantages and dis-advantages of my goal...

     

    Other than getting an different Differential....

     

    Would you Z owners, rather drive an automatic transmission with an high stall speed torque conveter with lock-up? (Lock up=during high rpm's the engine and transmission lock together for a "direct connection")

    -or-

    Would you Z owners just drive an 5-speed transmission?

     

    *Here are my pros and cons...

    naturally I plan on someday getting an L28eT.... so an automatic would be great, since my shifts would be faster, and the turbo would hold boost during the automatics shifts....

     

    but with automatic transmissions, you can't launch the car at any RPM's you wish to smoke the tires, give it hard take-off, you cant DriFt :( (unless you know how to use the Low (1st) gear and e-brake) and when you want to show off your turbo and blow-off valve you have to put in it neutral... i dunno

     

    5-speeds you can control what RPM's you want to launch the car with, what RPM's you want during shifts, you can burn out, you can DOWNSHIFT which would be an advantage, you can control drifts much easier....

    But you have to use your feet, and they can get tired during traffic, and your hand is always on the shifter, so you have an disadvantage with 1 hand on the wheels... and shifts are slower... and you loose boost druing shifts.

     

    What are everyone's opinions on this...

    5-speed or

    Automatic (comfort) with high speed torque conveter

    help me out?

    RB series engines came from Nissan Skylines..

    they are known as virtually indestructable engines, because they were built so strongly, and they are one of the most techonologically advanced Japanese engines, which has lead to numerous wins in races, and can handle up to 1000HP.

    what rb26 motor to get

    in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Posted

    man.. are you doing an SR swap or RB swap?

     

    You can not use the AWD tranny from the RB26DETT, only the RWD tranny from an RB25DET.

     

    Please use the SEARCH button to find all of your information or look down about 5 threads to see your answer.

     

    I highly doubt that if you don't have the patience to search or look around, you will not be to successfull in this swap and finding the right parts for the right price.

    Tip number one : SEARCH... this topic has been covered many times.

    Tip number two : This is the RB series engine discussion, not SR series.

    Tip number three: Explain what Z you have... 240Z? 260Z? 280Z? 280ZX?

    300ZX? (1st gen? 2nd gen?) 350Z?

    Auto in sr20det swap

    well.. not alot of people have SR20DET's in their S30 chassis...

    and i'm sure someone has one.. somewhere...

     

    but automatic's would kick ass with SR20DET's.. since they hold boost during shifts, and they shift faster...

     

    only problem is jumping off the line :(

    RB26DETT or VG30DETT

    in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Posted

    Simple...

    you can get an VG30DETT or parts for it virtually anywhere in America fairly cheap, and with Nissan service shops around you very knowledgable with these engines.

    The ease and availability for parts, repairs and access and aftermarket items for an VG30DETT is much cheaper and better in the U.S. Also the VG30DETT is LEGAL in the U.S. and the RB26DETT is not legal.

     

    They can both handle 1000hp+ and can be modded very easily.

     

     

    up to you ....

    Nissan V6TT engine

    in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Posted

    a V6TT does not exist...

    unless its an V6 engine with Twin Turbo's which would mean its an VG30ETT or VG30DETT.

     

    http://www.freshalloy.com/site/features/tech/engines/home.shtml

     

    and JSPEC or JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) is basically an engine under Japanese ratings and modification. These ususally differ due to differences in emissions in the U.S. and Japan as well as horsepower ratings...

    example> the new WRX STi's in Japan are about 350HP stock and in America it's only 300HP stock.

    VG30DET Project Starting

    good luck, I know a guy who spent nearly $12,000 to put in his VG30ET engine into his 280Z... due to the customization to get the engine mounted properly, he had to move the steering column around, cut the firewall to put the engine back further.. alot of stuff.

     

    good luck

    installing a CD player!!!! need help now.. doing it.....

    just get it professionally done...

     

    I have installed 4 headunits on 4 different cars, and my 280Z was unattemptable for me. To many wires, too many chances for mistakes.

     

    Lets the professional's do it..

    You may also have to re-wire your speakers or get harness' for them and make a custom mounting bracket and holder, so your pioneer won't come straight out when a theif grabs it, just in case... so you make it so tricky they don't have enough time and bail out.
