try using the search button mate, its been coverered many many times before.

I believe its been "covered" before, but not really 100% solved.

TV is easy enough, just get a portable (DC/battery powered) tv tuner that reads PAL signal and outputs to NTSC.

But apparently satnav is not possible to get working here because no maps are available for Australia, and the company has no plans to support Australia or convert the satnav to english.

I've got one of those units and if anyone finds out how to get the satnav working I also would like to know.

But as far as I know it cant be done. probably cheaper to just get an australian satnav system anyway.

Thanks for the link Andy, I obviously screwed up much search. DOH!

I have spoken to one guy in sydney who can do digital tv and satnav. I think he just replaces the tv and nav units but keeps the xanavi screen and controls.

I'll ring him and do a bit more ringing around, will let you know how I go. I thought a lot of the stagea owners with xanavi's would have converted them.

I don't think there's that many owners with the Xanavi units in their cars.

Stage Fright - I would be very interested to know who it is doing the work and how much they charge.

Digital TV is going to be best for the Xanavi screen because of the widescreen format.

I'll call him on monday and let you know how I go. Are you interested in including satnav, I would like to do a group buy if there's enough interest.

Yeah let us know how you go, I have one and would like to know what can be done, not stressed about TV but sat nav would be interesting.

Cheers

Yeah would be very interested in SatNav and preferably digital TV (Standard Definition).

With the SatNav I would also be interested to know what system it would be based on?

What maps would you use with it and how would you load the maps?

Given the Xanavi is touch screen, would the satnav component work through the screen?

Etc etc?

Would this guy also be able to flash the ROM's so we could convert them to English?

Would also like to be able to install a DVD Audio/Video head unit in place of the current HU (underneath the Xanavi display) and have it play DVD's to the screen. I don't know if this is possible as I haven't pulled out the Xanavi to see if it has a video input but it would be great.

Cheers Stage Fright!!

The screen needs to see a ntsc signal so unless the dvd headunit you get goes via a pal to ntsc converter it won't work, i am yet to buy a converter but i can play ntsc sony games on my ps2 thru it, and ntsc episodes of futurama i converted on my PC. hope that helps.

converted mine to digital TV, bit of an epic, through the VTR2 rca inputs on the tuner box in the boot, using a STRONG 12V digital box and an NTSC converter and tapping into the fatory aerials in the rear windows, note: these aerials have 12V amplifiers, small silver boxes, and only activated when in TV mode, not VTR mode, so they had to be given a 12V feed to get a good reception, worth it though. but would love to get the SATNAV working, keep me informed.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
