For what it is worth here attached is a translation of the screens from Russian to english. Easily translate from Jap to english as screens are same.

I think Chris is the only person who would have the code you need.

The most annoying thing about this car is the jap screens and fact GPS maps do not work.

If we had english on the screens that would help (I have the sticker kit for the buttons).

Good luck.

to be honest I do have what you need.screen,dvd unit,software- its a mule I use for R&D. thing being everyone wants this software for nix and depsite what you read that $100 for the CD/DVD is what everyone will pay. they won't. 90% of what you are reading is talk. plain and simple.

as for application - the unit is used in this car, the E50 Elgrand and the Cima. now the el grand hasn't taken off that well. teh V35 has and the Cima is pretty much dead in the water.

so if you wish to spend 6 months reverse engineering teh software for one line of car - go for it.

the only gain thye will get out of this is the working trip computer. the TV will still be useless (analog NTSC format) and the GPS has no maps. if you work out the mapping engine for it - great. you still need to format the maps to suit.

the other stuff (VICS) is the traffic radio/avoidance which very few of th cars have fitted. its a dealer option and of the 100+ cars I have worked on I have pulled two boxes out.

its far quicker to buy a USDM navi box and button set to sort the trip computer. this will negate the TV function slightly (its still VERY doable) but fixes the language issue.

to me a CKV36 will be a lot easier as its linux. mount the drive image it and then play. (not that I have time to fiddle.)

slightly off topic but is my car one of the ones with the traffic radio/avoidance or whatever? i know it has a button that looks like a wifi symbol. it tries to tune into an AM radio station when i press it (while the tv is on).

re; USDM navi box and button set.

Any leads on sources of these and will it be a simple plug n play affair?

google LKQ out of the USA.

bear in mind they are different across the years so get your year. also for those if you that use the TV function - YOU WILL LOSE IT BY USING A USDM BOX!!!!

not quite. the VICS button was what I was talking about. yours didnt have it.

I saw a USDM centre console with navi, buttons etc for sale on ebay going back a few weeks, and wondered if it would be a drop in affair (mine doesn't currently have the navi/TV) - would that be doable, or would I need extra parts to get the trip computer etc to work?

nope. your data feed from the ecu/cluster is not there. if you wanted a screen only then yes. its been done before but its not a beginners thing.

Guys you have to remember the translation will only convert existing screens to english (if/when its completed). This will not allow english navi dvds to be installed. I cant see it being a big benefit as most of the screens relate to the navigation anyway.

For those who have been watching this site for far to long on information on the long awaited Japanese - English conversion, I have some good news.

I was advised by the developer today that I should prepare to be ready to start converting in November. This is very exciting for me after 20 months of work on this project. I can not confirm pricing quite yet or the what the conversion covers but this will be advised very soon.

In the initial stages all the conversion will have to be done with me in person but in the future it will be able to be done remotely. I am based in Sydney and I will be talking to some people in Victoria and Queensland to ensure there is a dealer in each location.

stay tuned for more good news :D

that is indeed good news... would be great if there's a contact point for each state, unless you wanna fly around on a 'road tour'

+1

We could maybe fly Andy down here and have a meeting point where the conversions could be done?

Glad to hear it was good news Andy.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
