    Japanese To English Conversion For V36 (Oem Swap)

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted

    Wrong answer, You didn't see me mentioning name or where exact location these prices came from, but you just did. Forums are for sharing knowledge, information and now how. If people just want the NAV working you should just supply the work people ask for. If they want it all they can pay for it, if they just want the NAV working you should give them what they want. There are heaps of cars out there and there a heaps more coming. Just the same way you learnt how to do this you should pass it on to who ever wants to learn. There is plenty of cars to go around for everyone to make an earn if they are in the audio electrical retails servicing business. You should know not all will want to take it on, also people will inform where the best place is to go. Sharing is receiving what you know and it comes back to you in double always. Don't get upset on what people say on a forum as this is what forums are for. If you know what you know, pass it on, if you don't people will wonder, why???? It may just not cost what you are charging, HEY? Just the way you found out, others will also. I don't want to make money on this idea..... I want to save money having someone doing it on my own car for me. I'm in a totally different business, so it won't affect you. You should charge to teach people how to do this in other states of the country, we are Aussies, we share knowledge and know how. Imagine if you set up a classroom to teach other audio service centers how to do this, you would make money and be the talk of the nation. WOW these guys are really nice to share, not keeping it to yourself. What goes around comes around. Please understand where we guys come from that own these cars, a lot of the cars are only a little bit more than what you want to charge. Let the client buy the parts and you fit them, you still make money and everyone is happy. I bet you would get more business do this if you share. Sharing is expanding.

    Have a great day. ALL REPLIES ARE WELCOME. LETS ALL HAVE A SAY????

    Cheers.

    WOW!

    You just can't argue with that logic....LOL!

    I vote for Marvin to be the leader of our new Utopian society where money is not required and everyone does everything for free......

    Where To Buy A Nissan Skyline V36

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted

    To certify K's is with the full log book service history showing K's on each service from the 1st purchase date. Also when the car is registered for the 1st time it will show K's and each year when the renewal of rego it shows the K's every time. JEVIC is the company that certifies odometers and supplies a certificate of authenticity, when it's true and correct. http://www.jevic.com/services/vehicle-maritime-inspections/odometer-verification. This is what my car came with.

    Also I would love to see what would really happen if you put the V36 SP againts any bike, I don't think the 600 would beat it to the 100k's p/h. It would be great to see.

    LOL!!

    Have you ever ridden a bike in your life?

    Most 600cc Sportbikes will do 0-100 in about 4 secs. A twin turbo V36 would barely even do that with drag radials!

    My old Suzuki SV 650 was about 50kW and it still did 0-100 in around 4 secs. A stock V36 does 5-5.5 secs......

    Hey Guys, It's a rip off as they want to charge so much for this. In Brisbane it's 12 grand for a full conversion on a V36 with Sat Nav, if no sat nav it's 3 grand, still a lot. It not really the work that it takes, it the know how on what buttons to press. there charging like a wounded bull. If they made it cheaper they would have more jobs done as everyone would rush in.

    I'm looking around and I will find a cheaper option.

    Wish me luck.

    Good Luck! You're gonna need it!

    Actually no you wont, cause you wont find anything anyway......

    Fs: Transgo Shift Kit For Jatco Re5R05A 5At

    Hi V owners.

    Have posted this elsewhere with some other gear but this is really only useful for V drivers on this forum.

    Transgo Shift Kit for the Jatco RE5R05A 5AT gear boxes. This improves the shift times on these boxes significantly - $180 (Brand new but no box as I brought this back from the US and the box was HUGE for some stupid reason)

    Below is the exact place that I bought it in the US

    Hey all,



    I was planning to boost my V36 Skyline but have been dicked around by the company in the US making the kits so have decided to give up on the idea. My loss is your gain as I have a couple of parts sitting around that were to be part of the install but are obviously no longer needed.



    #1 Brand New Greddy Multi D/A Gauge with Oil Pressure Face and 2 additional oil/water temp sensors. Additional sensors can be purchased and added (Fuel pressure, EGT etc). - $450

    Big Issue,v36 Need Help Computer System Break Down

    I don't know if this will be helpful at all or not but when I was mucking around with my system I found that if you remove the 4-wire ribbon which runs into the actual touch screen overlay you will lose all of the system controls. I have no idea why the touch screen controller is directly connected to the rest of the systems but I found that the AC/Radio/steering wheel controls etc would all stop working with this 4-wire ribbon disconnected.

    I would be pulling the entire facia apart and checking all of the connections because it seems that the systems are all interconnected. It may just be that they mucked around behind the stereo and something is now loose. It's pretty easy to pull apart and put back together.

    Lets Talk About Import Dealers And Car Yards....

    I hear what you are saying Joe but it all sounds like every single other business in Australia.

    If costs are too high and you cant compete then you go out of business. What you don't do is start ripping people off by selling cars that you know are not in the condition that you are advertising. Thankfully it looks like we are finally seeing some movement from the authorities in this respect so hopefully all of the ripoff merchants will be out of business or locked up soon enough.

    If the dodgy dealers where actually being shut down, then prices would revert back to where they should actually be and you could make some money. Harvey Norman is still in business and yet you can buy all of their products cheaper online. Just as i can import a car myself for less than buying it locally.

    Australia is an expensive place because we have one of the highest standards of living in the world. Basic principles of supply and demand mean that you should still be able to make money as long as there are not too many dodgy people operating in the industry. If you are serious about what you say then you should be focussing some time on trying to get the authorities to chase down and prosecute those in your industry who are doing the wrong thing. Moaning about us not wanting to pay the correct price does not give anyone an excuse to rip people off.
