Well, I had to bid my trusty Nav farewell today. sounds a bit soft but I was getting a bit choked up over it. I apologized to it for ruining it and walked away. The mechanics got it running again no probs. turns out not much water got in the engine at all. the exhaust system was pretty full but...

Might be wrong coz I have a D22 but the "factory" Nissan bar is made by TJM. Could be the same with the D40 as I assume they would have an agreement of sorts. There is a lot of quality assurance that the OEM's have to go through for their dealer accesories. not something they like to chop and...

205,000K !! Shit The thing could never have been switched off and drives on autopilot when owner sleeps

I had a thought re mine and as I recall, it's has only ever occured since the Dual Battery installation and I thought maybe the solenoid may have momentarily cut power whilst switching from battery 1 to 2? But some of you guys are saying it's happened since new. has every one got a DB set up? I...

Yeah, this has happened twice to me too. strange. I thought the missus must have left the lights on and then started it of the second battery and didn't notice, but nup, did it again to me a couple months later. had the battery checked and connections cleaned during service after the first time...

Yeah, tell us how you did it then...

cheers fellas, I think it got a bit of water not sure how much. we did try and start it a few times and it will turn, just not that easy. was going to pull the plugs but didn't have many tools with me. It's in the hands of the insurance company now. As for a snorkel...No. I'm spewing. hasn't...

Hi Guys, I am feeling quite the goose at the moment. have had the most stressful weekend on record. Up until about 5:30pm Sunday we were having a great time driving a Canunda NP track to Carpenters Rocks. Fantastic place all was good. The track proper had quite a lot of puddles some of which...

Thanks all for the responses. starting to make sense to me now. BUT unfortunately I have a much larger problem to deal with. details elsewhere. Calling all diesel mechanics...

What do you guys think of this? It fits the bill perfectly I reckon but again, not sure on the software capability etc. Naveq, Win CE 5.0...I dunno? iSNACK 2.0 :suicide: HiTV Communications Integrated in car entertainment solution, digital TV GPS DVD headrest edit: you are all legends for...

Cheers Jason, I have heard of Raster Maps, Shonky Maps and Hema. don't know which is best or how or why you have to get programs to make this work and not that work etc.. Isn't there a basic engine that drives the lot whatever you decide to buy as the consumer? The next 12 months I am setting to...

I looked at the Alpine site and they quoted a GPS unit that seems to plug into Multi media Centre's, maybe not mine? It's the software thing I'm not savvy with this WINCe and what not, I don't understand. Mate of mine runs shonky maps. it has kept us out of trouble.. As for wiring things in and...

Yeah, I saw the HiTV site after posting this and they make a unit that plugs right into my Alpine and allows the touch screen. expensive I know..but as long as it achieves the goal and does the job I need it's prob worth it. I mightn't use it all that often but it I spose that's what I need to...

Hey All, I'm interested to know what forms of Nav Aids you all are using. I'm a paper map kinda guy myself but have been thinking of upgrading technology coz I'm sick of not knowing how the map unfolded in the first place :big_smile:. As far as GPS and software is concerned, whats the go? I know...

I've got a double din Alpine tv screen thingo in mine. I don't have a TV tuner and don't watch DVD's in the car but the space in the dash was begging for a 6"screen. I intend on getting a GPS to interface with it when I can work that out. and I want a reverse camera. lots of other things on the...
