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?

Easily fixed...

drive Sideways, come on Rianto... think logically man.

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

Also, I have a Japanese version of War And Peace I was hoping you could translate for me?

It says something here about the tilt angle or dip, and as you progress further into the northern or southern hemisphere the magnetic field will point partially downwards....

So I guess if they set it up to take into account this dip in the northern hemisphere, it would be doing the opposite of what adjustment would be needed in the southern hemisphere.

I had mine up the last night and it was off exactly 180 degrees, that is heading North it pointed to South, heading East it pointed to West, heading West pointed to East. I would think if someone were changing the software it would be fairly easy to swap N and S, and W and E? or maybe turn or flip the unit it is in 180 degrees?

I'm in Perth...

Hi guys... any word/update on the jap to english conversion yet?

On a related note can i just clarify a few things as i'm looking at buying a 350gt in the next few weeks.

I understand that the gps isnt going to be converted, my main concerns are the computer on the premium.

From this thread am i right to assume that the conversion is only planned for the series 1 350gt.

Is there any language conversion done at all on later series??

obviously if late model 350's have no translation planned/possible then i should be looking at a nice condition series 1.

thanks for the help.

If you look a few pages back -Programmer is finalizing software for models up to 10/2004. But depending on demand may look at models thereafter.

I've read through the entire thread, and it looks like the programmer has been finalising the software for quite some time.

As stated, the reason for my interest is that I'm looking to buy a 350GT, and I'm trying to balance the compatibility of a language conversion with getting the newest model possible.

get the newest model possible no question about that. If the language conversion comes through treat it as a bonus no biggie. I've lived with the Jap writings for close to a year now...keeps its import authenticity :D

Got my navi orginal dvds back today -Compass is spot on ! Sounds silly, but I hope people understand "True North"--this why some might think its about 90' out. Also I notice there are several settings (dont underastand them all yet) where you can fix a position and compass adjusts to N,s,e,w of that postion.

But if you check the GPS menu it always is reflects car postion to true north. Boy I dig that groovy japanese voice on the navi also.

The below explains true north from magnetic north. Basically True north is geographical north which is north pole. Whereas magnetic north is effected by the earths magnetic field and axis - is near canada.

Sorry to complicate things when I posted prev. I meant to add that people often refer to North as the northern part of the city/state rather than either of the above.

I was surprised by the talking too! It was on the first (top button) (mine 11/05 model). Also noticed when you press ETC options it talks when navi disc is in. (instead of chimes when not). Will have to tie my borthers japanese partner in the seat and get her to translate one day !.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
