If that is a flip-out TV/Nav thingy then its not the factory one. I have the factory option which is made by Xanavi (they do the tv/navigation systems for all nissans - including current models).

Either way if its a japanese system then the TV will likely only accept ntsc inputs (if it does PAL as well then you have no probs). Others on this forum have managed to connect up a portable digital tv tuner that outputs to ntsc via a connection on the front of the tv unit....maybe you can do something like that?

As far as navigation goes, that will depend on the system used by your unit. The factory Xanavi ones dont work here since the company has no plans to (a) convert them to english and (b) provide australian maps...so thats pretty much a showstopper. I believe some people have removed the internals of the unit and wired in an aussie portable satnav unit to work with the factory screen (including toughscreen capability)...but I dont know how far they got with this...

Good luck with the car - it looks VERY VERY NICE!!!!

Makes me REALLY want a dolphin bodykit (i believe thats the one yours has). :)

Hey Steve thanks for that info. I am going on the auction sheet. Most of the options were listed as factory options. They may not be, true. However I know that some cars come out of factories with anything but standard equipment. If you are a Nissan exec, or "in the club" so to speak you can order anything. In the car industry they are known as IPO's (internal production orders), esentially you can order anything as an option. I guess I'll know more (maybe) when the car arrives. The car is listed as having the "aero pakage" which is why I think that the mirrors might be factory. But maybe not. The Prime edition is the most optioned anyway, so it makes sense that special orders might be put on this, like the paint.

Anyway, regardless of all that, I am sure that I am going to enjoy it for a long time.

I'll let you know how I go with the nav etc.

Nice colour blue, LOVE that :PBJ: ..have to say though i really dont get the woodgrain only on some bits of the steering wheel Why do they only come with that little bit and not a full wheel of woodgrain? :( ...apart from that nice car...good job :O would have set you back a bit and with compliance do you have to get standard mirrors and stuff??? :D

CAnt wait to see it here in WA...can you take me for a drive when it gets here???;)

Hey Kristie... I worked out the wood grain thing...... sometimes it's nice just to enough without having too much . Which I guess is why women have two boobs and other animals (cops for instance) have up to 16 Teats.....

Can't imagine what the world would be like if women were like this!!! Probably overdone!!!! like my steering wheel with more woodgrain. HAha :)

Very nice looking car!!!! Makes me wanna buy a Stag 2morrow but wont be able to shop til early next year......looking at that car confirms that a Stagea is the car 4 me and the missus :)

Well done!

Thanks mate...... hey and I can't blame her if you make her ride around on the back of your kart!!!

:O

But seriously when you decide to start looking for one, PM me, I can help you.

LOL.....only got a lil Diahatsu Charade atm to drive and believe me, if i could drive the kart legally on the street...I would!!!! hehe :)

btw how much did your car cost??? I looking round a 1998-2000 model myself when the time comes

Nice car, well done

The mirrors are actually made by Ganador, not a factory option

They are a little bit smaller in the mirror size, but are still electric.

I had a set on my R33 and have just bought a set for my Stagea.

So Darren what did the mirrors set you back and where did you get them?

Just in case I ever need a replacement, (hope not)

There was a 260 at auction a couple of weeks ago with a bayside blue respray, looked fantastic!

Yeah I know you can get the cars resprayed. But honestly, would you buy a resprayed car from Japan? I sure woudn't. For a start you don't know whats under it, and it kills the resale value. Only reason I chose this one is cos it's factory. Suposedly so is the aero package, it is listed in the brochures, but I don't really know what it consisted of. Roll on January. We got the missing blind today in Japan for $100. So now it isn't missing anything..... (I hope)! :)post-30601-1164627243.jpg

If I was to import another, I'd go down the same road as John.

Get rid of the middle man I say...

Can't wait to take it for a drive >_<

Awww so nice to be listened to.....

How come there is'nt a "suck" smily?? :D

and how much was it all?

pleas tell me lol....

OK for those that keep asking,......

We paid 1,200,000 at auction in Japan, that converts to A$13250.00

By the time it's here with freight, compliance, import duties, lic, stamp duty etc, I am expecting it'll be about $24,000, on the road.

I only wanted to spend $20,000 but how could I resist it!!! :ninja:

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
