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?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
