Weren't the first price figures a long time ago around the $300-400 mark, $200 isnt too bad,if you sit down and think how long this took to make. For the guys complaining just dont buy it, do you send emails to HKS telling them that there parts are expensive? Geez some people are complete wingers

Andy have the hidden diagnostic menus been translated as well?

Can you remind me how to get to the diagnostic screen. I remember seeing it when it was posted but I can recall the process to get to it to check.

Cheers

Andy

maybe we should have a list of those who bitch, dont get the conversion?

indeed! it was me that put it across the prestige m'sports mailing list. I have a bit to do with them and these cars

that said I hit up 8 RAWS here in brissy and they are all on board with the idea. did get one try to haggle me to nix and I politely said no way.

to those that think there's money in this - forget it - there's not!! in my case I'd make more on a diversity antenna lead :)

Hi Andy

Iam def still keen for the software please send me an msg when you have worked out the details

I'll do yours. I'm the QLD person anyway and I'm doing swap in swap out boxes as well. so if you are capable of pulling the DVD rom out and posting it to me I'll send you one back that has been swapped.

From what my rather vague understanding of the Japanese kanji translation FM would be a service (only available in Japan) that allows news-flash or information be displayed on screen, e.g. traffic information, road works, accidents, or perhaps even any general news/advertising.

Even if that screen is translated, it would be of little to no use for us (most likely to no use).

that is correct. its a traffic information service. no use here.

Anyone doing these conversions in NSW yet?

That is me John.

I will keep you all posted over the next couple of weeks. The release date will be shortly after the 6th December.

I will probably try to organize a central place on a weekend to help people with logistics.

So at this stage the confirmed installers are:

NSW: Andy (Andy65b)

QLD: Audio Express (Chris Rogers)

VIC: Rianto (RS73)

SA: TBA

WA: TBA

Won't be long now till this all kicks off.

Cheers

Andy

Andy have the hidden diagnostic menus been translated as well?

Leon, I checked this the diagnostic menu and it is now in English.

Thanks for reminding me about this as there was one selection that was no changed and I will get this fixed before the release.

Cheers

Andy

Great effort Andy and I think everyone with the exception of a couple would think this way!

Oh....Oh!!!! But I tell you what!!!!.....it took too long, it's too much and I don't like the way the menu's are laid out!!!! Can you go back and start again.....it should be for free and custom made to my spec's.

Like I said....great effort mate!

Ooppps I've done it again!!!!....sorry!!!

Yep,

Top row - 5th button and bottom row 1st button - hold them together for 5 seconds at any time.

And good on you for working so hard on this.

Hi Guys,

Firstly, HUGE thanks to Andy for sticking at this when I am sure I would have given up ages ago. I cant wait to get the conversion.

Secondly, with the above Diagnostics has anyone ever had this translated or does anyone know what diagnostics these are?

Cheers

I'd just be guessing what alot of it means, but have a look and some of it is interesting. I am curious though to find out if my hunches are right. I figure one of the trim controls is for gyro sensitivity, but the other one, i'm not sure - something to do with the volume/road speed maybe? I have an inkling the greyed out menu is for an undeveloped language menu too.

Sorry to dissapoint but FAIL... LOL

Well maybe an undeveloped language.........it is the newest Language around........ It is a PHONE option.

I have seen it on one other car.

I will try to give you an idea about it later when I have time to sit down a read all the menu's.

Sorry...... this is a really busy week for me. (actually most are)

Cheers

Andy

andy,

For WA/SAI'm doing a swap in swap out arrangement. spoke to a few people today that are NOT on here and they are happy to yank the box and send it to me.

About that. Can we still drive our cars around with out the com?

Or are you sending a replacement one and we send you ours when we get it?

I found some interesting things in this Diagnostics menu tonight.

There are adjustments for Speed correction and GPS gyro, Left and right.

I am yet to see what effect they have but it looks promising.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
