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

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 !.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
