Nobby, we don't know each other, not that it's at all relevant. We're all busy here, in our own way - perhaps some more so than others. Regardless, we've all taken the time to do the same homework th

Compas will be off because we're in southern hemisphere, while it is originally built for northern hemisphere car...

Can't do anything about it as far as i know - chris roger has told me before it will be off...

If you have kids just lie to your kids that it's correct (or if you have directionally-challenged mates)

This is something I dont get, why the heck is the compass off... North is still north whether you're in the sourthern or northern hemisphere... :thumbsup:

my bad... coming into conclusion too early... I went off to do some quick search... I think most of us didn't realise there are Northern Hemisphere Compass and Southern Hemisphere Compass... so it may use some sort of magnetic compass and/or combination of GPS....

That was a very good question...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass

So there are two versions of compass made... the ones on our V35 are the northern version

Compass works 100% and is accurate.

And it seems to have a point near the city it wants to get to.

Surely someone else's must work

Are you all located closer to the equator (e.g. QLD) or where?

I'm in VIC and mine don't work properly...

Well I'm in Melb and it didn't work properly... I read about if northern hemisphere compass is used in the south, it needs to be tilted in a way for it to work, the reason is because the earth magnet is actually pulling downwards towards the core, not towards the north/south pole in a kind of way... so the further south I am from the equator the harder it is for the northern hemisphere compass to work properly...

not sure if that sounds kind of logic, but if this is true, then QLD V35 owners should have your compass working properly...

Thanks Matt ,Howd go with that vid ?

"INFO" Button - 4th button. has trip computer options/ Fuel cons/Dist to MT/ ave speed etc fiist two options/ Third option is the 4 Service meters, forth option is FM tuner. Nothing else there.

Third Button "MENU" Button does nothing on mine. So I guess this is same problem everyone else is having. (unless u need navi dvd in) Mines an 11/2005 premium.May have to catch up at the next 350GT meet and compare if I can make it.

sydney

and compass is the bottom of the first column in the menu part. 4th button across to get to that menu

Ok I was driving out tonight and the compass works BUT it was off by 90 degree...

For example if I am facing South, it will point West, if I am facing east, it wlil point South....

How do I fix this... anyone know if there is a 'sensor' box under the dash that I can perhaps turn sideways 90 degree to fix it?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
