My quick ramblings...

Not Andy's fault, he's stressing about it more than any of you I bet. Sounds like the programmers are stuffing him around. If they really were interested in doing it they would have at least compiled each CD to match the serial numbers in each of the firmwares of the units. Piracy problem solved. Or used Andy as a distributor. Andy are you even getting a cut? I certainly hope so.

Ok just read this...

His plans are that there will be 2 discs;

Disc 1, will install and produce a unique code that will show on the screen.

That number gets sent to the developer and within 24 hours a the final disc will be ready to download.

Disc 2 is a unique version with the serial number produced from disc 1, encripted in the 2nd disc.

that is the theory, waiting to see the final product.

Cheers

Andy

Why not just get the serial number from the maintenance screen yourself and email it to him to compile the image?

That's not hard to do rather than fartarse around. Can't see anyone changing their rom to pirate the discs if we can't even get the rest working. Has anyone even successfully decompiled their original discs?

Also a long time ago when I was working for a software engineering company with lots of crazy serb programmers who were interested in this project I did look into doing this project. I even called Japan and had a few lengthy conversations with an english speaking guy at xanavi about this just to get some background (Really friendly and accomodating Japs are btw). He basically said that the program was meant to have a function to implement English, but it was released as is at it wasn't important enough to them at the time was the jist of it and they weren't interested in building one for us. But I'm not a business person so if someone wants to put a venture to them.

We've all moved on since then, and I don't really have the time or inclination to be passionately involved, but if someone sends me the 1st disc (not the map disc) that they have(I never got mine) i'll look at it again in my spare time. PM me.

Where are all our software engineers anyway? SAU used to be filled with nerds. I'm happy to pass on what I know.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
