Ok listen up everyone,

If you want your Sat Nav or DVD or TV changed to australian standards visit jap link motors on parramatta rd, near leichhardt. The guy i spoke to there was Con. he can do anything for you with australian maps and no mods to the A/C buttons. Everything remains in its position. He can do the Sat nav for $1800.

Another thing, we have to organise a get together for all the V35's in Sydney. I haven't seen many around but have notice that there are at least 60 for sale in NSW. Hopefully soon we can get a bigger group.

Cheers.

Yeh, I called them 6 months ago. Just like Chris said, There is no cheap way to "convert" GPS unit to used here.

What they do is just connect another GPS system via TV connections and used the remote to opearte.

I would rather stay in my TOMTOM, I can imaging if I want to imput a address and the only thing I am able to use is a remote control. What a night mare.

How did you get the radio sorted? Are you using a band expander at all?

Ok your right mate i called up and asked about the Sat nav and remote. Bluddy idiots they dont tell you till you actually ask.

How about DVD players, what do they do with them? just replace them with Australian ones? Would it be controlled by remote or just throught the normal system using existing buttons?

The same thing. The good thing is: we are used to use remote to opeate DVD player, they used place the DVD player under the seat or in boot because as chris said: The DVD rom in upper Glove box also has some function link to trip computer.

any way I want to call chris the check out what his stage up to and wonder how can I do with my one in sydney.

Tom

not saying :sleep: involves a LOT of fiddling - band expander is easier. only reason I did it was for a M35 with the integrated dash. currently the car in question has the stock JAP radio back in it.

before ANYONE asks - no I will not do an aftermarket one. if you have $300 or more to throw around on this and you have no other choice (IE integrated dash) then I'll listen.

remote only. also its not as simple as it may sound. most of the units have a video in on them so if you had the correct signal its easy. thing is anything late model IS NOT THAT EASY!

most of the cars in question didnt have DVD video anyway. the DVD logo on most indicates that it is a DVD ROM system. if it says DVD video ont he face of the unit then it supports it.

All the bits to convert to Double DIN are now listed on the web site with the link below.

http://japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?dea...=2&small=13

We have converted a lot of V35's now and a kit is able to be made up and installed by a local installer if they know what they are doing, even got the new Cima working sweet as.

After trying every option best plan seems to be you fit a new unit putting it in the boot or under the front seat, leaving the OEM unit in the car due to other things it also controls.

Do not let some one "give it a go" as they can make a serious mess if they dont know what they are doing and the car is off the road a long time.

TV isnt hard to get working and the new Sat Nav system is controlled by a small remote with split screen and everything working.

Personally I have a OEM double DIN unit as mine is 6 Speed Manual and they dont come with Sat Nav.

Also you can order Double Din as per below from Japan Parts

I'm not going to disclose it- that simple. its not for the faint hearted I will say that. unless you are VERY good with a soldering iron I wouldn't suggest attempting it. I'll leave it at that.

the main point of that post is this: I get people asking me DAILY to do something with their unit that came with the car that is usually aftermarket and tey want to pay nix for it. forget it and bin it was essentially what I am saying.

I'm far from a promotions person I offer help a fair bit on this site if you haven't noticed already.

From a business point at first I did not give Chris any information I had when it came to the V Series Skyline/Stagea and CIMA which was for two reasons that I told Chris from the beginning and he understood what I was saying, I have not given people I work with some of the information that I gave to Chris or what I will give him in the future.

I did not want to give any information to every Tom, Dick or Harry at a stereo shop who did not know what they were doing and would say "I can give it a go", if you don't know what you are doing don't touch it.

I work with people who asked me to keep what I know to myself and so be it as that is business, I don't expect Chris to tell me everything he knows as that is also business and I will not take it to heart.

People pay $1,000 to get someone to help them import a car which a trained monkey can do, they keep their contact's and information they have to them self as that is their business, I don't see any difference.

I am in for figuring out a solution to keep my features on the screen (compass, efficiency information, that wallpaper thing is not bad also) as cost efficient as possible, hehe. Everything so far sounds too complicated.

Yeah, thats what I mean. Once you start doing things to it, you loose them. Has anyone thought of installing a car computer, or whatever its called, that does everything? I know it's expensive, but should replace every function currently on the car and add may more, like GPS and DVD.

      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).
