My quick ramblings...

Not Andy's fault, he's stressing about it more than any of you I bet. Sounds like the programmers are stuffing him around. If they really were interested in doing it they would have at least compiled each CD to match the serial numbers in each of the firmwares of the units. Piracy problem solved. Or used Andy as a distributor. Andy are you even getting a cut? I certainly hope so.

Ok just read this...

His plans are that there will be 2 discs;

Disc 1, will install and produce a unique code that will show on the screen.

That number gets sent to the developer and within 24 hours a the final disc will be ready to download.

Disc 2 is a unique version with the serial number produced from disc 1, encripted in the 2nd disc.

that is the theory, waiting to see the final product.

Cheers

Andy

Why not just get the serial number from the maintenance screen yourself and email it to him to compile the image?

That's not hard to do rather than fartarse around. Can't see anyone changing their rom to pirate the discs if we can't even get the rest working. Has anyone even successfully decompiled their original discs?

Also a long time ago when I was working for a software engineering company with lots of crazy serb programmers who were interested in this project I did look into doing this project. I even called Japan and had a few lengthy conversations with an english speaking guy at xanavi about this just to get some background (Really friendly and accomodating Japs are btw). He basically said that the program was meant to have a function to implement English, but it was released as is at it wasn't important enough to them at the time was the jist of it and they weren't interested in building one for us. But I'm not a business person so if someone wants to put a venture to them.

We've all moved on since then, and I don't really have the time or inclination to be passionately involved, but if someone sends me the 1st disc (not the map disc) that they have(I never got mine) i'll look at it again in my spare time. PM me.

Where are all our software engineers anyway? SAU used to be filled with nerds. I'm happy to pass on what I know.

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • 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.
