Hi guys,

T88Turbo, did you get a Japanese DVD - did it work?

Chris, you wrote "if it says DVD video ont he face of the unit then it supports it." Where abouts on the head unit would this be written? Do you have any pics?

Thanks, Ben.

it will be written on the front on the DVD/nav unit. its locked to japan though so its useless unless you code the DVD correctly.

I'm also working on a PnP solution for those on htis side of the country.

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

tom,

great idea, poor execution. the later ones run CAN and pulling that board WILL SHUT THE CAR DOWN. tapping the wrong wire will kill something or a CAN module.

the TV tuner is simple cracking that module open is another matter.

Chris,

The screen board as you could see does not have a CAN connection so it will definitely not affect your car in any way.

The TV on the other hand has a CAN connection which I think is only used for diagnostics which can also be run from the Sat Nav unit. Disconnecting the TV will not shut the car down. After all you don't need a TV to run your engine. I wouldn't recommend shorting it out though.

tom,

putting this in for the ones that 'think' they can do this. the later ones are CAN. I know about the CAN lines into the TV unit. those lines also loop through the NAV and toll card.

you and I know what we are looking at - most here probably do not.

Thanks Chris - do you have a picture of what I should be looking for. I am buying a V35 sedan, and it clearly isn't a deal breaker if it doesn't have DVD, but if it did it might be fun to get some Jap DVDs to muck around with.

Do you know if it is a common inclusion on 350GT8 sedans?

Frank350GT - do you mean a DVD rom like a burnt DVD? Does it play?

Sorry for misunderstanding.

What i get is an origional DVD disk of JAPAN map, 2003 version, issued by nissan and xnavi.

If i put it in the DVD-ROM in glove box, the screen will show the jap map. very interesting.

Unsure what you mean here. usually if the pop up screen is there then all of the above is there.

as for the GT8 versions - unsure. most of mine have been coupes.

I'm 90% through a plug and play interface for nav for these so given a bit more time and it will be done. that will take car of the nav.

as for english menus - look at the G35. I'm working on this as well. though I still have a bit more to do there.

all fun and games with these things.

I do. as I said I'm 90% through it now. once I get it fully sorted and tested you will be the first to know. only hting I'm unsure on are the later V35s with CAN driven units. going to try a M35 as well.

Nooooo, please don't say that by "later V35's" you mean the 2005 models.

I think you'll find he does, the 2005 models are different in many ways even though they look the same.

Dami it,

Chris, just think of all the new models that will eventually hit our shores. wouldn't it be great to have a plug in solution ready to go for when they get here. :(

I didnt rule it out. its the CAN stuff thats screws with things. don't worry I'm working on it. I'll need a '05 for a guinea pig as well. not for a few weeks yet. 04 back I have covered. this solution is for NAV ONLY! (I'm sorting the TV another way.)

Please don't forget our M35's please please please. Although you do have plenty of time as it failed emissions testing again!!!!!!!

hey guys,

I went over to check out the system that JapLink have got running.. the guy has managed to pass sound and video through to the main unit.. he is using an external gps unit which he claims is off the bmws but it looked like it was some cheap taiwanese rip i think it was called devtona or something.. tried googling but couldnt come up with anything.. the guy is charging $1800 for this setup! He has also managed to pass through a hdtv tuner box to the main unit which he is charging $900 for..

I'm looking at maybe putting together a carpc with a similar setup to this I've had a quick play with roadrunner and it looks pretty robust.. as for the gps im going to have a play with mapmonkey which can apparently display the AUS Destinator maps..

Has anyone tried setting up tv tuners in their cars? I am looking at a few hd car tuners on ebay going for about $100.. I wonder how good the reception is especially while in motion.. any ideas?

no offence here. the VDO units are well into the $1500 mark with maps I know of another cheaper item as well that is loosely $1k. the TV boxes are anywhere from 100-$600 depending on what you want or spec. so it very quickly gets to the $2k mark BEFORE you get someone to put it in place.

to me if you are capable of doing a CAR PC in it - go for it. however if you are the slightest bit unsure - don't try.

the ones I'm doing are setup the same way. audio goes through the main unit. TV is the same. the whole lot will be a LOT easier once I get the plug and play setup done.

would be interested in looking at pics of the car you just mentioned as I have access to a LOT of nav products so I dare say I could find specs on it..

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
