For what it is worth here attached is a translation of the screens from Russian to english. Easily translate from Jap to english as screens are same.

I think Chris is the only person who would have the code you need.

The most annoying thing about this car is the jap screens and fact GPS maps do not work.

If we had english on the screens that would help (I have the sticker kit for the buttons).

Good luck.

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?

^^ 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

to be honest I do have what you need.screen,dvd unit,software- its a mule I use for R&D. thing being everyone wants this software for nix and depsite what you read that $100 for the CD/DVD is what everyone will pay. they won't. 90% of what you are reading is talk. plain and simple.

as for application - the unit is used in this car, the E50 Elgrand and the Cima. now the el grand hasn't taken off that well. teh V35 has and the Cima is pretty much dead in the water.

so if you wish to spend 6 months reverse engineering teh software for one line of car - go for it.

the only gain thye will get out of this is the working trip computer. the TV will still be useless (analog NTSC format) and the GPS has no maps. if you work out the mapping engine for it - great. you still need to format the maps to suit.

the other stuff (VICS) is the traffic radio/avoidance which very few of th cars have fitted. its a dealer option and of the 100+ cars I have worked on I have pulled two boxes out.

its far quicker to buy a USDM navi box and button set to sort the trip computer. this will negate the TV function slightly (its still VERY doable) but fixes the language issue.

to me a CKV36 will be a lot easier as its linux. mount the drive image it and then play. (not that I have time to fiddle.)

slightly off topic but is my car one of the ones with the traffic radio/avoidance or whatever? i know it has a button that looks like a wifi symbol. it tries to tune into an AM radio station when i press it (while the tv is on).

re; USDM navi box and button set.

Any leads on sources of these and will it be a simple plug n play affair?

google LKQ out of the USA.

bear in mind they are different across the years so get your year. also for those if you that use the TV function - YOU WILL LOSE IT BY USING A USDM BOX!!!!

I saw a USDM centre console with navi, buttons etc for sale on ebay going back a few weeks, and wondered if it would be a drop in affair (mine doesn't currently have the navi/TV) - would that be doable, or would I need extra parts to get the trip computer etc to work?

nope. your data feed from the ecu/cluster is not there. if you wanted a screen only then yes. its been done before but its not a beginners thing.

Guys you have to remember the translation will only convert existing screens to english (if/when its completed). This will not allow english navi dvds to be installed. I cant see it being a big benefit as most of the screens relate to the navigation anyway.

For those who have been watching this site for far to long on information on the long awaited Japanese - English conversion, I have some good news.

I was advised by the developer today that I should prepare to be ready to start converting in November. This is very exciting for me after 20 months of work on this project. I can not confirm pricing quite yet or the what the conversion covers but this will be advised very soon.

In the initial stages all the conversion will have to be done with me in person but in the future it will be able to be done remotely. I am based in Sydney and I will be talking to some people in Victoria and Queensland to ensure there is a dealer in each location.

stay tuned for more good news :D

that is indeed good news... would be great if there's a contact point for each state, unless you wanna fly around on a 'road tour'

We could maybe fly Andy down here and have a meeting point where the conversions could be done?

Glad to hear it was good news Andy.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      I might do a few more high temp bed ins as described here.  I have a nice quiet 80kph road right near me.  How To Bed-In Your EBC Brakes For Street Or Track Use - EBC Brakes https://share.google/AjnOTILXoiqQnLu8p

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      I did a few 80-0 stomps. I then just rode the brakes while I applied throttle for a while to get them nice and hot. I live on a big hill and have been down it a few times also with stomps and brake riding.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
