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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
