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

Hi Mark I will see what I can do but the limitation at the moment is the time difference between Russia and Oz. 3pm is about the earliest in the day I can cross paths with Russia to get the install key.

Cheers

one more good news, previously my compass heading was off by about 90 degree.

e.g. i'm heading south but my compass on the screen shows i'm heading west.

Chris told me that the further south of the equator i am, the bigger the issue could be as the gyro was configured for northern hemisphere.

after the english conversion applied, not only it fixed my screen's clock to match melbourne's time, it also fix my compass heading!

now i know where i'm heading if i decided not to use the garmin nav.

:-)

I think the developer has done more than just translating the language, good work!

in summary:

- japanese translated to english, most screens including some navigation menus, of course the map wont work

- fuel consumption from km/ltr to ltr/100km the australian way!

- clock display showing australian time

- fixed my compass - i can't confirm this until I see other people's compass that was off and is fixed too after to this conversion.

still a skyline, but yeah $6k turnkey solution on V36 I was told - a swap with 370Z ADM unit.

that may sound steep but anyone who spent $45k+ on a V36 might as well get the navi/tv dept sort out properly if there is an equivalent ADM edition available as a donor part.

Ok I had a chat with the developer and just to re-cap some of that above to eliminate any misunderstanding:

- japanese translated to english - YES

- fuel consumption from km/ltr to ltr/100km - YES

- clock display showing Australian time - YES

- fixed my compass - NO - my compass was never 'broken' in the first place, here is what the developer said:

The compass wasn't part of the conversion. The developer said I must have had my car's japanese navigation set to a certain destination in Japan by the previous owner and was somehow set to 'align' with some kind of landmark. That skew the compass off as it will try to align the car to a certain point.

When the conversion is installed it somehow either 'reset' that when I removed the japanese navi dvd to insert the install ROM, or either I have now understand what the japanese navi menu means and was able to turn off that annoying destination that the car kept wanting me to go to in the past year or so.

So if you didn't reset it... you could have gone straight to the previous owner's home?

Cool

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
