Does anyone know if the tv navigation system that sometimes comes installed in imported skylines is any use here in australia? Am I just able to buy a cd/dvd with a map of australia and use it ? If its incompatible can I at least use the lcd and hook it up to a dvd player?

Any help would be appreciated.

well for my panasonic one theres a input box sitting under the passenger seat, its got 4 sets of AV inputs so you can hook up portable dvd player etc..

im pretty sure jap tv specs are pal as well, although i could be wrong

but than again, the whole damn unit is in jap besides the remote and buttons on the unit. so setting it to use av is not going to be an easy task,

i also got the original manual for the sat nav for mine whole 100 pages worth all in jap.

My mate imported an EVO and it came with a SONY screen and a SONY DVD+SAT deck as well. He gave it to me so i was just wondering if the SAT does not work, i still should be able to use the DVD and watch TV if it possible?

from what i have read so far on the soarer forums.. you can get a pal to ntsc converter for around $250 - $350

this will allow our pal tv signals to be picked up and used for tv, you might find you can hear some stations.. but not see them

you can also get a portable in car dvd from stratties i think... sansui brand.. will output ntsc as well as pal.. so if the screen picks it up.. then cool

i am researching for an R34 factory sat nav... made by xanavi...so i dont have this nice av input box thingo the panasonic has..

i mean there may be one hidden in the car somwhere.. i gotta look still

just got the thing licenced.. so now the messing around begins

      Oof, glad that it seems have gone much better than it could have. I have seen some pretty terrible tow truck handling just as a bystander. Zero fvcks given and no regard for the cars at all. Also broke down with fuel pump issues the other week as the wiring was on its way out. Roadside assistance guy used to have a Skyline and was looking at Stageas on the market. The tow truck driver also used to own a high powered Skyline and was telling stories about that. Apparently too fast to have any issues with being pulled over... Makes all the difference dealing with people who actually know their cars and care.

      I had quite the scare last night. I was on the highway just toying around with an Audi. Right after an extended WOT pull, I lost all power. I cruised to a stop on the side of the highway and realized I had no fuel pressure. I keyed on/off a few times and could hear both pumps priming but pressure was still non existent. When you need a towing on a highway in Quebec, it's an automatic call to the provincial police. They don't mess around, they'll gladly destroy your car to get it off the highway asap. I pulled my bumper off as quickly as I could as to not have it destroyed getting it onto the truck. I got lucky as the tow driver was a car guy. He entertained the police while I finished up popping my bumper off and sticking it in my window. As we started taking off, the police drove by the tow driver to tell him we couldn't leave with the bumper sticking out the window. He pulled off on the first exit he saw, did a u turn and got right back on the highway in the direction of home lol.  With no leak insight, the only thing I could think of was a torn FPR diaphragm or a popped hose inside my fuel tank. This morning on removal of my Radium twin pump hanger, one pump hose was completely shredded and the other was on the verge of the same fate. Both hoses had swelled to double their size... I have no idea how I ended up not using submersible hose but clearly that's what happened. To make things even worst, Radium supplies submersible hose with the hanger... So either they supplied the wrong hose or I had the wrong hose laying around when I assembled it.  Looking over logs, my fuel pressure dropped to 0 roughly 10 seconds after a WOT pull. I was cruising and I'm confident the motors fine. Had that happened 10 seconds earlier, I'd more then likely be pulling the motor out. New hose arrives tomorrow, I'll put it back together then.

      Post 2 in this thread is my C34 with a R34 manual console, you can see it is a tiny bit different but not noticeable, and clips straight in. Only issue is you have to move the g sensor a little with the manual console.
