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

Also, I have a Japanese version of War And Peace I was hoping you could translate for me?

^^ hit the nail on the head. People want this done for nix and expect it to work first go, be able to blame someone if it does not. TO THOSE CONTACTING ME FOR ENGLISH CONVERSIONS: I HAVE NO DONE

ill help out.

go to the bank, borrow $4000-5000 more, and see a person on this forum who does the english conversions for V36s

lol ... Iain You are a comedian.

V35 series 2: Latest up date is that I really don't know how far away it is as a few deadlines have passed and don't want to promise someting that I can not deliver.

V36: As I can not give a date for v35 s2 I am reluctant to put any dates out there for v36.

Sorry I can not shed more positive information.

Quick note to those ringing 3-4 times a week on this. V36. if you are BUYING one of these cars BUY IT WITHOUT the navi option. I can BUILD what you want then AND make the AUS navi touch based AND integrate it back into the existing car. forget the dream of english swaps for now.

cost is a mild 4 figure exercise. I will not elaborate on price as its is really a $POA exercise.

I'm going to (attempt to) rip out the HDD of my 2008 370GT and clone it to another HDD using a physical 1 to 1 sector by sector copy so I can play with the image without fear of effing up my original unit.

I've found plenty of walkthroughs of removing the head unit etc. Even found a few pictures of the unit pulled out. Haven't found any who've actually gone all the way and pulled out the HDD from the box though.

I'm assuming there are people here who've removed the HDD already, given all the talk about working on language files etc. I've heard from a few people that the drives are locked also.

Anyone got any hot tips they'd like to share for my undertaking? (maybe software used to unlock HDD, approximately where inside the unit the HDD is actually found, etc.)

Pic below of someone elses attempt. They weren't game to go further though by the sounds.

AVIC411.com. start with that for unlocking it.

http://www.hdd-tools.com/products/rrs/

then MFDD . (google that)

then play.

I would also have a software emulator handy and have the code for the SHX4 processor.

thats all I will give - dont ask for more!

no.. you will end up being harassed with phone calls around the world with people wanting a copy for nix..

Can see that happening too... Some people just have no respect.

Would never expect to not pay.

This issue is the ONLY thing that is stopping me buying a late model V36 right now.

Really se no point in buying a car that speaks another language to me and a V35, although very good is still a bit old to buy now for me.

Thanks for the great info Chris. Very helpful! Although I didn't quite get the cryptic MFDD search, apart from some gun in Halo. You telling me to go play Halo instead ? :P More than enough info to get cracking though.

I've got no kids and am in a long distance relationship so got a helluva lot of spare time to tinker. Just waiting for the HDD to arrive, then its all systems go.

MHDD - I made a typo.

HDD tools will unlock it BUT if you do not DISABLE the lock it will relock again when you shove it into the machine.

http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

this disables the lock.

not sure of your background but you will need to memory map that thing. the USDM item is different UNLESS you get a later one then the video side of it will more than likely be in the same (or similar) spot.

the rest is up to you :)

Couldn't wait, so pulled out the unit to see if I could get at the HDD. Got foiled early though. After getting it out of the car, went to open it up and found that it had some torque screws which I didn't have the right tools for at thome, so had to give up and put it back in. But everything started back up properly again once it was reconnected. Happy days! Heres the culprit sitting on my bench. Will go back for round two once I get the right tools from work.

you will have to make a shell of it from memory. there was one unit that the HDD was on the outside with a acess panel. do not think it was this one though.

throw a front shot up and I will tell you.

Attempt #2 .. fail!

Got a torque screw driver and managed to dig deeper. Pulled off the top and bottom panels of the unit. Could see the side of the HDD underneath the CD player (right pic), but couldn't get the damn CD player out. I think to get it out you basically need to take off ALL the side panels so you can unscrew some screws underneath. Then you can take out the CD player, take out the HDD and whala. NOT an easy job though.

I would've given it a crack, but had to be somewhere that evening and wouldn't have had enough time to dismantle it so much, take out HDD to play, then re-assemble. So, will give myself a good half a day to tinker.. hopefully on Saturday.

Some more shots of the unit with the top and bottom lids off:

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
