Software :)

and how do we do that? Do the el cheapo laser cleaner disks from bargain shops do the trick?

If you have a map disc, keep it in the unit and make sure it reads it.

If you don't have a map disc, see if you can get a copy.

All the units I have seen with a map installed in the DVD rom were an easy conversion. The laser seems to get dirtier with no disc installed.

  • 2 weeks later...

A note to those that had their cars done in sydney by nagoya motors (or by revolution electronics) and had a local DVD video player fitted. if you CANNOT find your DVD ROM ANYWHERE in the car there is a VERY good chance it has been stripped to a bare board and shoved under the stock spot and between the glovebox.

IF YOU WISH TO UPDATE YOUR LANGUAGE SOFTWARE YOU CANNOT DO IT !!!!!!

90% of the OEM unit is MISSING! so you guys are stuck UNLESS you replace it with a used item.

I have a car here now from NSW with this EXACT issue. I am going to try other means of updating this one but I see it as a no go. the progam needs to reside in two spots : ON the DVD reader board and also on the main board.

swapping bits into the system from another stripped unit will result in a unit that will reboot every 5 minutes and ask for the jap language disc.

just a word of warning..

further point now that I look closer at this board:

the GPS gyro is also gone. so theres NO WAY to program this thing.

looks like I pass on this one.

(time for me to start my integration into this box by the look of this one.)

Been reading through this quite substantial thread.....

Just want to make sure that I've got my facts straight.

I've just got my V35. It's a 2005 S2 Premium Coupe.

My understanding is that as of today, the english conversion software patch is not yet available for the S2.

But. All being well it will be available from some kind outfit in Russia in the future.

Did I get it right?

Almost, It should be ready for the V35 S2 around the middle of this year.

It will be available for the people listed in my signature.

Hey guys. I have an 04 primera p12 wagon. It has the jap navigation screen with all the stuff in japanese. Anyway you guys have a disc i can buy to convert mine to english?

Hi Jason

Sorry, whilst it looks similar the system is different and our conversion system will not work on your car.

Cheers

Andy

    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
