can you send it to me as well please....buddy pal mate.

BTW...check out this.....pick the error's in what his saying...

:banana:

Active Yaw control? I think he is talking about the ATTESSA...

All factory options are standard? How the hell does that work? Aren't they options?

350z style interior? umm... suuuuuure

"NEON" engine? ffs, the word NEO is written on the damn engine cover!

Also love the way he slams the rear door.... doesn't he realise that it has a self shutting mechanism?

Bloody hell.... you would think that someone who sells a type of car would get their facts straight.

Oh and you can play only "some" or OUR DVD's in the DVD player, LOL.

lol... I knew I forgot something from my list above.... but maybe I should try to play some Aussie CD's on the DVD ROM.... if the salesman says they work, well....

Edited by iamhe77

In the other videos where they shown various V35, they kept saying taking out the DVD-ROM and replace it with Australian compliant player... while keeping all the factory trip computer functions.

what they don't realise is the DVD ROM is the brain that pretty much control all your trip computer, those who had installed another player in the upper glovebox space actually had the DVD ROM relocated somewhere else out of view. Can't really disconnect the thing just like that.

Well can't blame them 100% they're sales people, they're not auto electricians.

I think the guy was quite nervous really being an actor in the video, if you kept watching their other videos there's another one where he stuttered for words and said something wrong that either the V35 or V36 was the same engine spec with locally delivered 350...er..GT... er Z... lost for words...

Unless they have bigger budget to hire an advertising actor/actress who can memorise ad script and have the time to do multiple shots each time the presenter gets lost for words, then I don't see how you would have 100% smooth take on the first run.

LOL... remind me before next meet I'll burnoff the japanese map dvd rom if you still misses your Japanese 'kanji' old flame.

Hi Rianto,

About pickup a V35 shortly not sure if it will be a 2001 or a 2004.

My eyes are now burning with the amount of reading I have done rearding the TV & Nav conversions, It looks like though you boys have figured it out, Great Work !

Just wondering on the cost involved a little confused,

I read somewhere that it costs $200 to convert the Menus into English, $180 if you are a SAU member, Is this only for the labour ?

Also I am assuming that conversion of the Nav and TV is not included in this price, How much to convert these aswell, also the price for the parts I will need (eg. Aus Digital TV Tuner, Aus Sat Nav etc.)

I would like to have everything converted together if my budget allows.

Good job o the Youtube Videos and looking forward to your reply.

Happy New Year and its looking like a Good Year !

well it's for the whole thing, basically for the "license" - it's not a DIY - the idea is to ensure the developers get paid so it works like a software license activation.

the TV tuner won't be converted because it's a hardware thing - Japan's TV frequency are different to Oz and thus the chipset in the tv tuner only works for Japan. However chook on this forum is doing group buy on Asuka TV tuner which can receive Oz DTV signal be installed and feed into the factory TV's aux setting. Alternatively in my car I use HiTV tuner. If you have the factury TV set to Aux (choose the OTR source) then you can watch the TV through either

the add on Asuka or HiTV tuners. most auto electrician should be able to wire it into the japanese tv tuner's aux input. But you still need the japanese tuner there as the TV screen interacts with it.

Nav can't be converted because the map is built using Xanavi's closed proprietary format, which means no other company (e.g. Navman Garmin) made a compatible format that the DVD ROM can read, nor Xanavi Japan will ever make maps other than Japanese map. Easier and cheaper to get an aftermarket unit on the windscreen or either have it wired through the factory TV's aux or do a video overlay but this require a good audio/video expert to do that.

Happy New Year too!

Do you control the Aus TV tuner the same way as if you the Jap ie: through the original controls ?

And how about the navigation unit I assume that is the glove box so the remote can send it a frequency ?

Is it possible to plug a DVD Player & alternative Nav (which allows output display and audio) into Aux inputs on the Aus TV tuner if they have any ? I assume the factory V35's TV has only 1 aux.

Sorry if some of my questions seem stupid... :geek:

no - my tv tuner controlled via supplied remote control.

my garmin uses another remote.

in passenger kick panel.

rom unit in upper glovebox must stay - that is the brain for ur trip computer and tv display.

anything should be able to be plugged as aux input - best to ask audiospecialist - my advice can be wrong i'm not the expert i only give example based on how i believe my car setup is

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
