Hey all, looks like some good work has been done and it is amazing that before i potentially buy a V35 a English conversion may be available. Great work all and good to see that everyone is sharing. Just for the record I am pretty sure a mate of mine has access to a Consult 3...

What year and type of V35 will I need for this Translation disc to work, DVD Rom comes in what models?

Haven't got a new car yet but one of these Coupes is on the list and Iwould be up for this too!

Just a query, someone mentioned a M35, what is that exactly or is it a typo?

Cheers all and I might be joining you soon.

Incidentially, are you all happy with your rides and how do they compare with earlier more performance based Skylines?

The M35 is the Stagea - historically a wagon based on a skyline chassis.

The most common m35's in Aust run a VQ25DET and AWD instead of the N/A VQ35DE & RWD of the v35 Skylines.

You can see the rear end in my info.

To the best of my knowldge we are able to conver up to the 2004 V35 but there are still some question marks on the version installed on some of the 2004 models. We will be able to confirm if the conversion will work on the 2004 models and later once we have finalised the set up.

Yes, you need to have the DVD rom drive in the dash (or other location) to be able to install this update.

The new Consult version will not help as it requires a lot more wotk than that to ge the conversion to english done.

I am another M35 owner, you will see a pic of my car in my profile. Practical wagon with the lots of go and great handeling.

Cheers

Awww c'mon Andy... You know as well as I do that without those SK Swaybars, our girls hate hugging corners.

Also, I may need 3 DVD's... I just negotiated a bargain for my mate's M35.

Are you saying without a set of decent swaybars, there is a lot of body roll and comfort is the order of the day over sharp handling?

If you get a Rs or OX they are lower and seem to have better standard shocks for handeling. the ARX is certainly set up with 40mm extra clearance and definatley is a comfort cruiser with lots of speed. 0ver taking on the open road is a breeze but watch your speed......

with Bilstein shocks and new Swaybars from Sydney Kid (Selby) the car is transformed and now is sooooo nice to drive and cruise.

the investment is minimal, say $480 for swaybars and $1300 for springs and shocks and you then have aluxury cruiser with LSD rear (other models do not have this as standard).

Thanks Andy, much appreciated...

As for the Disc of Nissan Aussie Maps, you are still looking aren't you?

It needs to be a DVD too doesn't it? Do you know why it is in that format only as I would imagine if the units to be 'translated' are the DVD types then the unit should also read the necessary files off a CD too...

I have made a few enquiries myself to see if I can get my hands on one.

Will keep you posted if successful.

Yes, but even if we can source the right maps and get them coded for the cd or DVD (larger capacity), they will only be static, as in created at one point and not updated to latest maps over the years. Does this still really make them worth while?

Once we can see what we get from the english menu's we will have a better idea of the potential market and can see what can be done.

Cheers

I have just been told that the Nav system Nissan uses is 'Siemans' and the data comes on a memory card, might have it mixed up and I am on the case to understand the process.

I suppose the files may be the required format...

I have it confirmed, there is no Australian Nissan with Standard (Factory) GPS. So no Nissan maps, the unit's use an add on box/wiring GPS that is either dealer fitted (option) or is installed at the dock, in the Nissan holding yard when 'imported' for an Aussie owner. Nothing is installed at the Factory...

As stated the unit uses Siemans software via a memory card of which there is a chance I can get to see one soon. Presumeably, it can be replicated. Incidentially it is a $330 spare part as an upgrade and it is installed in the car behind the glovebox of a Murano and Patrol. It stays with the car in order to work and is not downloaded via a disc.

Does this help?

which takes out the CARWINGS versions. (they are 2004.5 +) I believe.

I'm more interested in the other models it covers..(not just the skyline.)

What is CARWINGS version and what other models?

Either way, if I buy a V35, I would like a TV/DVD/INPUT and GPS (if available) built in like factory, having car 'instruments' is important too.

How much is that worth to be done Chris? Worst case scenario?

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
