Is Nigel still the software translation guy for WA? I emailed him but no response as yet..

T

Yes if you click on the link in my signature it will have his phone number

This thread really needs to be part of the FAQ of who can perform the conversions and an update on the progress of software translation for V35 series 2 and V36.

**Sorry guys just read my post again and it may have come across rude, its a Friday afternoon :)

Just had my Xanavi translated to english today, thanks to Chris & Simon (& of course the Russians).

The unit wouldn't load from the disc at first but after a drive across a couple of suburbs it mysteriously shook itself into action. The disc was still in so the bumping around probably got the laser working.

The result is pretty good; much easier to use now.

However, what's interesting is that not all info is available after the translation. The reason I know this is that prior to the upgrade, I used to get a warning everytime it powered up that I had an airbag problem. See pic.

I could drill down (from memory thru the maintenance screen) and turn up more info. See other pic.

None of this shows up anymore. I was hoping to see what Nissan thought of my little problem (in English), but nevermind.

So it looks like only the main information made it thru the translation process.

Thanks again guys.

Chris: I have a 2005 V35 series 2 and I wanted to know the time line of English converison kit for my car.

Do you know when this may happen?

Hi

Chris is no longer doing the Xanavi language conversions. He decided it was not worth doing and so Chook does the conversions in Qld now.

But to answer your question, the developer believes he will have the conversion for the Series 2 V35 & M35 by the end of this year. That was the update about 3 weeks ago when I asked.

Cheers

Hi,

Just wondering can you run a Nissan Maxima or Murano or 370Z head unit on G37?

I'm assuming firmware for those model may able to allow G37's head unit to spit out English (totally speculating here as I know nothing about the software)

Cheers!

I have heard that the 370Z unit works and is about $7000 new from Nissan. That was a while ago might be cheaper now like $6500 :D

I saw a 2009 NISSAN MAXIMA RADIO/ NAVIGATION UNIT going for $700USD on ebay so just wondering if I can buy the head unit and swap them over.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
