Rabster Nissan 350z GT4 From birth Till
OK so let the fun begin
So i have started on the CAR PC
Spec as follows
Acer Aspire Revo
Carnetix P1900
LIlliput 7" Screen
Logitiec Mini Keyboard/Joypad
Joycon EX
Rear Camera
OBD Reader
C200 Video Camera Input
Onto the fitting the standard housing that comes in the non nav modules doesn't allow enough space to fit a screen in the cubby as you can see below
So i had to order a different unit
once order it was time to get on with the fitting of the screen, no real pics of this as it kinda just fits in and gets glued in place....
but once fitted allows it to look like this
So with the screen in place it was time to modify the computer to work with the PSU
In order for it to work we have to make an additional switch input on the main board
So computer before
Computer with its top off
Locate power switch board this is top left of the computer case
Once removed it looks like this
the contacts themselves are just a standard short to make connection effectively a normally open shorted to normally closed
once connected to i then ran a cable through the case onto a connection on the rear.
that's as far as i got tonight but here are the finished pics today
the screen is being blurred out by my down lighter in the front room doesn't look like this when in natural light
Rabs
hope to have the console back in the car and it plumbed in by close of play tomorrow as i dont know how the car comes apart yet lol.
still need to find the relevant wires in the car.....
And he's off :lol: going to be some serious motor this mate, when you've added all your mods again :thumbup1: really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh :thumbup1:
Lovely, this is coming along nicely as I suspected!
Although running windows doesn't that take absolutely ages to boot up? Or is there a trick that makes it boot faster?
Great work mate !
