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

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
