there is bound to be a serial number of the device itself. its possible he is attempting to access this for the registration purposes but is having problems doing so without changing the firmware too much. having it stored on a chip he would be limited to size etc....

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

^^ hit the nail on the head. People want this done for nix and expect it to work first go, be able to blame someone if it does not. TO THOSE CONTACTING ME FOR ENGLISH CONVERSIONS: I HAVE NO DONE

I know I'm bumping the thread which will probably start more question on it and I for one want the thread to die (it's been frustrating that it's taken sooo long and I've only been waiting 4 months not 18) but here goes...

What I'm basically thinking is that I've started to grow accustomed to the Japanese and really can't see myself using much of the Car computer stuff whether english or Japanese. And the fact that this guy's arsed around for so long instils no faith in me that if the software hack goes pear shaped you'll get any kind of support. Because he's taken so long I almost don't want to reward him by buying his software. So unless the end product is $5 then basically he can shove it! I mean seriously, he's probably spent 5 times the effort on his stupid (and defeatable) security measures. Realistically he's probably going to be asking $100 for his disks :blush: , tell himhe's dreaming.

Is it just me being a crank pants or do others feel this way?

YEP FULLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR COMING FROM.IS IT REALLY WORTH CONVERTING WHAT PEOPLE KNOW BY NOW ? AND AT A RISK TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE. WHILST COMMENDABLE HAS LITTLE IF ANY VALUE.

I agree, If you don't feel the need to change the language as you are comfortable with it keep the coin in your pocket or spend it on another mod.

And yes, the longer it takes the less people will want it.

I just don't understand peoples desire to shit all over other peoples work when they have no better solution.

I don't know who's being that nasty, certainly I didn't mean to be. I'm extremely impressed with Andy staying with this for so long. Serious case of beer to him when/if it ever gets finished.

I will certainly decide whether or not to spend the dough when/if it ever gets released depending on cost. As you so rightly pointed out A it'll be a call of whether you wnat it or another mod and depending on cost that may be a clear side indicator or new tyres :thumbsup:

I was simply musing out loud on the whole thing after revisiting the thread. Given that I've seen Andy's working somewhat in English (Nav will never work on the system because of no Aussie maps), ages ago, it's just a but frustrating that the guy didn't take that long by the looks of it to crack the system, but rather has been taking a very long time on the security side of selling it! No offence intended.

In the tru spirit of don't bag if you can't do... I put out the call to my developer network and found someone who reckons they can do the translation. I'm willing to kick the project off, fund it and then if I get a solution sell it on to forum members on a cost recovery basis. I need a test DVD-ROM unit though. Does anyone have one they've ripped out of a car or is willing to pull theirs out? You'll get a free English upgrade :)

I will get mine out when I put the car in next month to get my alarm fitted but if there's one already out, I'm very keen to start work. Chris you got nay laying around? Bisseebee?

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I've just bit the bullet on a forged rebuild for my 25det looking at making 600rwhp with the built engine. Having always been a butthurt for big brakes, I'd like to upgrade the fronts. I have looked at a few different websites, not have really stood out to me. What are some good quality front brakes, are the Attkd ones any good?    Thanks.

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.
