Thread: Nissan Sentra 1996 GXE Complete Project. 14'' Screen

Just make sure your pasenger airbag is disabled or you might as well just smash the screen in their face!

Love the ghetto install

Damn, i thought i did this post, i guess it did not go through.

Now to answer all of the questions.

1. Yuriy: Zdorovo, Klasnniy komp sobral.
Your setup would not be as budget either if you would have included the ODB2 and the actual price of the Monitor+ the cost of the Toshiba Pocket Pc. The screen is huge, but it was very good value, and i can watch without a problem while i drive.

2. cadence117: GPS Modifications.
All i did was cut the PS/2 jack from the GPS mouse and replace with the regular power jack leading to the powersupply's 5v in the computer. The PS/2 wire from the GPS mouse only contains two wires, i believe red and black, so there should be no trouble for you figuring out what to do with them. I will try to take couple pictures later so my explanation is much clearer.

3. tsparks: I really like the obd2 tool. the software is great and shows plenty of the details, some of them i don't even know what they are. I really like the analog display of the on board instruments so i can see the RPMs since i don't have that in the car. I highly recommend it.

About all the Airbag comments. I take the monitor down, when somebody rides with me(which rarely happens), but i am looking into somehow obtaining a smaller display for a much lower price. we will see what's gonna happen with that.

Thanks for responses.

Also i had managed to make my comp boot in 18 seconds, by doing Bios modifications so now it only boots in 1 sec!!!!! and removing prefetching from WinXp and reducing considerably the number of services.

1 sec boot time???????????

Yeah that must have been a typo. My system does boot from hibernation in 10 secs without any mod to XP. I'm very proud of that.

i think he meant 18 secs
either way.. what did u modify in the bios?
and what is prefeching?

Prefetching

instruction prefetch



<architecture> A technique which attempts to minimise the time
a processor spends waiting for instructions to be fetched
from memory. Instructions following the one currently being
executed are loaded into a prefetch queue when the processor's
external bus is otherwise idle. If the processor executes a
branch instruction or receives an interrupt then the queue
must be flushed and reloaded from the new address.

this can significantly speed up your boot time in WINXP.
here is how:

there is a tweak that makes XP Pro boot really fast
create an MS DOS batch file, name it ntosboot and put in "del c:\windows\prefetch\ntosboot-*.* /q" (without quotes) and put it in C:\
then you go to start, run then gpedit.msc
go to Windows Settings (in Computer Configuration) then go to shutdown. then you add ntosboot.bat
close gpedit and reboot



also about my boot timing. My BIOS boot timing is 1sec the total is 18sec.
I had disabled all of the game ports, floppies, i picked the Harddrive as the first boot, i disabled the secondary IDE, and much more crap which i don't use at the moment.

woaw...that funky...but i have to say i like it! great stuff...congrats

Drop that GXE and get a real Nissan like something with an SE-R at the end of it....
Just kidding... Whats up with the stock deck unit? rip that sucker out!! I ripped my out and I was very happy. (dont tell me you still play tapes?)
Have you posted this on the NissanForums.com?

this is a joke right?

Oh well.. whatever floats your boat

Looks good, I think..
