Ok guys lets talk about the sat nav and tv that come in 350GT coupes in Japan.

Is there a way to make it into english and have the satnav working for Australia, there has to be a thing that converts the signal for TV? and a way to reprogram the sat nav? there has to be some wierd gizzmo in this day and age?

Hmmm and I thought this was a forum where people could meet and share information about their common interests Not just to advertise their business

Get a surround from the US delivered G35, then it's all in english. You can get signal converters, not cheap though.

true but that still doesnt fix the other issues. for a decetn price I can replace the LOT with a eclipse or the like.

G35 has the same intgrated dash as well.

as for the nav working - need to know who makes it. if you are in brissy I'll gladly pull the car apart and present you with a few options.

as for replacing the LOT - can do and I have the needed part numbers to do it.

Yes there is a thing to reprogram the sat nav but it is in Japan at the Nissan factory, which firstly needs to be reprogramed for Australia" maps then they can reprogram your sat nav but the cost in doing that Chris Rogers can supply and install about 5674 sat navs in your car

has anyone considered looking at nissan maxima's navigation system.. or the control box etc?

if they BOTH use denso then you are on a winner. if its ANYTHING like what I have seen in the 33/34s here they unit can be: clarion,xenavi,alpine,matsushita all for OEM.

only way to truly work it out is to strip it. mind you that unit still will not be cheap. figure $3-4k at a minimum.

this is what I mean by a swap out:

to:

g35after.JPG

there is a LOT to change to get to that stage. the AC controls have to be redone for one.

how bad do you want it?

Chris, why would the AC controls need to be changed? Non Nav 350GT's have exactly the same AC controls and the screen used is higher up where the smaller elongated screen is. I've seen pics of 350GT's and I'm sure the pics of what the AC is doing is up on this small screen and not the Sat-Nav screen.

Very interested as I'm sourcing a 350 right now in Japan.

I'm yet to speak to nissan, but was also thinking of the Patrol unit. Other than that, is there any aftermarket DVD/TV/SAT combos that can be used?

If the SAT NAV screen has nothing to do with the AC, I was thinking of putting in a new all in one system which can sit in the glove box, and display on the factory screen? No idea though, just thinking.

**EDIT** just looked at some pics, and I can't seem to see any with the Sat Nav that has AC display on the smaller higher up display I was talking about.

SOOO, could you not hook up the Ac to the display up top like in the non SAT NAV cars, and then custom fit a new SAT NAV into the pop up screen section? Again no idea, just typing as I think :-)

Cheers

Bobby

reason it needs to swap is the A/C and the radio and on one board. remove the OEM radio and you remove the A/C controls.

you still need to know who makes the main unit. in some cases it's clarion (denso) others though it can be anything.also the navi unit WILL NOT be cheap as a spare part are you prepared to spend a few grand doing it?

as for aftermarket - there are a few that I would use. again it comes down to cost.

There is an interface that we can set up for you that allows you to use the existing factory screen of all V35 Skylines and integrate Australian navigation, TV, DVD and reverse camera if required. PM me if interested.

Why only coupes? I have sedan :D

What do I want from my LCD Screen? For me, apart from the fuel economy screen, it's pretty much all a gimmick, but I'm so glad I have it as without it there looks like there is something missing.

Firstly, I would preferably want it in English.

I don't really care about Navigation. By all accounts this is impossible anyway.

TV - I can't see why this wouldn't be achievable with little mods to the OEM.

Bits and pieces I have found from research -

the headunit is most probably made by Clarion - the US guys say theirs is but I can't confirm on the jap ones.

The software for ours is made by Xanavi.

http://www.xanavi.co.jp/products.html - go through and find the page that says Map Software - the BirdView one i believe is ours.

There are 2 Discs that make up the software - 1 Program disc/Firmware update disc(CD) and 1 Map Disc(Dual Layer DVD)

The US guys say they can change the languages from their menus.

I've had the US discs sent to me(they are made by a different company - http://www.zenrin.com)

The Update Disc complains about firmware being incorrect. The Map DVD does nothing. So don't bother with this route guys.

But I'm pretty sure you would be able to exchange the DVD-ROM Drive with the US one and have it work. Harnesses "should" all be the same. The ones for the stereo certainly are. But i'm not going to fork out this money without someone confirming this firstly. Oh and if it works your screen will say Infiniti instead of Nissan...

I am really interested in getting the Jap equivalent to these Discs. I didn't get them, if you have them, can I beg you for a copy.

The best thing to do is get someone who speaks Japanese call up this company and ask them about an update copy of the firmware - can they confirm if it changes languages? That alone would be worth a shell-in for us to buy a copy.

g35driver says what Chris says. You can buy a double-din facia and replace the HU but the aircon controls need to be swapped out for aftermarket at the same time. For me this is a bit expensive at the moment, and I am quite happy with the sound from the stock HU as is.

The TV module in my car is made by this mob:-

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/t....jp%2findex.htm

Mine says ATV-62 on the side. Is your's the same?

Again someone who speaks Japanese would be best to call them and ask them for a wiring diagram.

Can someone tell me the technical reason why the TV needs to be converted? I've never had it explained properly and I don't get it.

I have sent heaps of emails to heaps of Jap companies. Never with any replies. Could be the language barrier.

Also Maximas don't come with Navigation screens afaik? Only the Muranos and Patrols. But completely different systems.

Yes aftermarket connectors and harnesses can be hooked up for you to utilise the existing screen no problems. But I'm trying to exhaust OEM options(ie , do it cheap!)

Don't know if this is helpful for you guys but the following are a couple of G35 links for replacing a double DIN headunit, and what Nissan parts you need. Also describes what you need to do so to retain aircon functionality. Probably if you want to swap out the screen with another one, like Chris mentioned?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
