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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
