Yep. The board crashed (due to a failed RAID controller) and Christian's had to rebuild his database. At first I thought I got kicked out for saying something wrong considering I only just registered the day before! After reading the sticky about the outage, I figured I had to re-register and we're back to normal now, more or less.

rianto has it. and yes they are NOT cheap. not to mention theres still a lot of custom electronics to maintain teh extra options.

Given the composite video input that one can tap into with the V35's, for those who are only concerned with the GPS, I'm thinking one could use the Garmin GVN53 interface as a cheaper alternative. Of course, that would only be an ideal solution for those who don't care much for the stereo and translations. A bit hard for me to tell without a V36 (which won't be until March/April for me) but that's my guess for now. What's your take on this?

up to you. the video in on a 35 has limitations. picture looks a LOT better with RGB applied to it.

I use the GVN53 when I do the 35s. though I use a slightly different version.

if you buy a CKV36 then the full swap is the BEST way to tackle it.

if you read the description they are only installing TV tuner to allow viewing of UK TV Channels. Nothing in the navigation or menus are converted/translated.

its exactly the same to what Chris has been doing, adding an Australian compatible TV tuner.

I think he's still pretty busy... he just finished mine today... I got reverse camera now, although it doesn't tell me 100% whether I'm gonna hit something or not but at least it's helpful to see what's behind me with 150 degree wide angle view....

hm, chris the way you mounted the camera so low, it's very strategic when reversing against a bunch of chics in mini skirts... LOL

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
