I have used the search feature... (spent 2 whole days reading up on everything that has been done and tried)

I see that people have tried using the 350Z maps etc but i want to use the japan maps but change the data in the map files. (again i haven't seen the map dvd format yet {and cant see one online to download}) but I cant believe you cant reverse engineer them and drop in at least to begin with, the australian map. It might take longer to sub in the roads etc and actually get it to take you places.

map data is in MOV format. I have a disc here.

the KWI formats are a bit of a bitch to read. been at it for about a week now on one of them. KWI seems to be a denso format from what I can tell. that said the pioneer AVICs use a similar system. if you happen to find a copy of KWIDebug I'm ALL ears.

if you can code xenavi mapping - go for it. I believe that the local maps are raster based. totally different system to what xenavi use.

shan,

the US based stuff (for that format) does not work. lots of things in 'different' spots from what I see.

rianto,

GVN 53 supports it with an external module. you have a 52. no dice.

yeah oh well.... bought my wife one of the garmin nuvi 1390T portable one for her getabout... didn't realise how fast they are compared to my ageing GVN52... lol... compared to the newer units, my route calculation seems to be taking ages...

I bought the same unit for my wife also..... watch out for some of the routes it will take you on though. On my vic tour I ended up on many minor (dirt) roads following the GPS (now called Barbie)..lol

Man, what a big read.... soooooo, is there any issues with the jap-eng conversion so far???

No issues for the conversion system.

The only issue seen is the age of the DVD-rom and some have dirty lasers which slow down the install process. The unit has to be dissembled and the laser head cleaned.

No worries, got it done last night. So far so good.

This is a long thread so I jumped to the end and my question may have already been answered but... has a jap to english conversion been sorted out for the Series II (2004.11 - 2005.11) V35 yet? I've worked a lot of the menu out but I'm bound to be missing something important. And I'd love to know what the nag message says when you're running low on petrol!

Thanks in advance.

Okies the V35 coupe finalyl arrived and it even has the birds eye dvd in it :( so i will start playign with it this weekend.. wish me luck :D

Good luck, If you need a hand playing with it I'm happy to help

So i have been playing with my DVD so far i have found a whole bunch of dat files on it. I'm slowly trying to figure out what each bit does. I can see some BMP headers but cant for the life of me get them out, i can also see some wav headers again they wont export into anything usable. (yet)

Looks like the BMP code is there but its all swapped around, (of corse why would it be easy :) )

Suggestion to forum ed. This thread is getting so big I reckon we ought to split it up into the different parts. EG;

1. For Sat nav conversion to aus.

2. For english menu convesrion.

I already have the english menus and am keenly awaiting sat nav but finding stuff even with search is a nightmare.

Just a thought.

1. From what I've read (not much) there are no sat nav conversions for the original equipment. You have to install aftermarket gear.

2. English menu conversion..... seriously, 2 posts above you is in big bold letters "M35 and V35 english conversions"

Also, I hope you're not interested in twincam RB30's because that thread is up to 351 pages and it is a goldmine full of useful information.

1. Yes you can install aftermarket gear into the standard screen.

2. 03 and 04 English Menu's available via the link on 3 or so posts above.

Daisu, to clarify, the English menu conversion so far if for the Series 1 - conversion for the Series 2 is still under development. In the meantime, those with Series 2's need to rely on threads like this for updates or info on what others have otherwise learnt.

part of the issue. I have a disc here and to be honest - its not a easy task. I can do hex edits on that disc but unless you have the software that wrote it its going to be a bitch to reverse engineer. ( I found this was the case when I started playing with KWI databases.)

WAV headers - isolate those. whilst you may not be able to do the maps you may be able to get the car to speak english. (my forte' is more hardware based than programming.)

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
