sweet cant wait!

so who knows where the tv aerials are located ? are they intergrated into the glass along with the antenna and will they have the appropriate gain to receive australian analogue/digital tv?

never chased them. they should be in the rear glass.

a little..

been over to see chris rogers a couple of times now.. ill let him talk about the nav himself

but i have digital TV having bought a unit form eBay for $100 including postage.. works well but not so well with the standard TV antenna. might be looking into installing a separate stealthy antenna for good reception

still no luck though with getting the aux input to work while driving..

back to see chris on friday to sort some more stuff out :(

look - TV !

and a TV guide.

still yet to sort the in motion side of it properly. by fluke it worked when I did this one - reception isn't the best either. I would actually use a different box in the cars I do commercially. it really needs 2-4 antennas to really work.

I have a few more pics of rest of this car but its not related to this discussion.

hey chris, just a thought..

i was thinking that maybe the reception issue is in part due to the fact that the aux in isn't on, and thus there's no power going to the signal amplifier?

so maybe once we get that issue sorted the antenna will get its +12V for signal amplification and thus give a better reception?

Edited by WazR32GTSt

ant amp is on. its hardwired to the key (camera ACC actually.) its a reception thing (or tint.)

I'm tempted to get the one I use into that car. may still do that.

Has anyone dealt with Japanese Auto Centre at Parramatta Rd? Saw this on one of their ads for the V35 - says they can convert Sat Nav at small cost.

their words are actually "This is at a small additional cost"

its a very subjective comment, and they could argue that $3-4000 in the context of a $39,000 car is a relatively small cost. i would argue that it is a significant cost...

Hi guys I was playing with the TV the other day and could receive the TV broadcast sound (for all channels 9, 7, 10 etc..) but obviously could not get a picture. I thought the Jap TV module could not receive any of the Australian TV signals. Unless sound is transmitted differently to image?

Cheers

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
