I have used the search feature... (spent 2 whole days reading up on everything that has been done and tried)

I see that people have tried using the 350Z maps etc but i want to use the japan maps but change the data in the map files. (again i haven't seen the map dvd format yet {and cant see one online to download}) but I cant believe you cant reverse engineer them and drop in at least to begin with, the australian map. It might take longer to sub in the roads etc and actually get it to take you places.

map data is in MOV format. I have a disc here.

the KWI formats are a bit of a bitch to read. been at it for about a week now on one of them. KWI seems to be a denso format from what I can tell. that said the pioneer AVICs use a similar system. if you happen to find a copy of KWIDebug I'm ALL ears.

if you can code xenavi mapping - go for it. I believe that the local maps are raster based. totally different system to what xenavi use.

shan,

the US based stuff (for that format) does not work. lots of things in 'different' spots from what I see.

rianto,

GVN 53 supports it with an external module. you have a 52. no dice.

yeah oh well.... bought my wife one of the garmin nuvi 1390T portable one for her getabout... didn't realise how fast they are compared to my ageing GVN52... lol... compared to the newer units, my route calculation seems to be taking ages...

I bought the same unit for my wife also..... watch out for some of the routes it will take you on though. On my vic tour I ended up on many minor (dirt) roads following the GPS (now called Barbie)..lol

Man, what a big read.... soooooo, is there any issues with the jap-eng conversion so far???

No issues for the conversion system.

The only issue seen is the age of the DVD-rom and some have dirty lasers which slow down the install process. The unit has to be dissembled and the laser head cleaned.

No worries, got it done last night. So far so good.

This is a long thread so I jumped to the end and my question may have already been answered but... has a jap to english conversion been sorted out for the Series II (2004.11 - 2005.11) V35 yet? I've worked a lot of the menu out but I'm bound to be missing something important. And I'd love to know what the nag message says when you're running low on petrol!

Thanks in advance.

Okies the V35 coupe finalyl arrived and it even has the birds eye dvd in it :( so i will start playign with it this weekend.. wish me luck :D

Good luck, If you need a hand playing with it I'm happy to help

So i have been playing with my DVD so far i have found a whole bunch of dat files on it. I'm slowly trying to figure out what each bit does. I can see some BMP headers but cant for the life of me get them out, i can also see some wav headers again they wont export into anything usable. (yet)

Looks like the BMP code is there but its all swapped around, (of corse why would it be easy :) )

Suggestion to forum ed. This thread is getting so big I reckon we ought to split it up into the different parts. EG;

1. For Sat nav conversion to aus.

2. For english menu convesrion.

I already have the english menus and am keenly awaiting sat nav but finding stuff even with search is a nightmare.

Just a thought.

1. From what I've read (not much) there are no sat nav conversions for the original equipment. You have to install aftermarket gear.

2. English menu conversion..... seriously, 2 posts above you is in big bold letters "M35 and V35 english conversions"

Also, I hope you're not interested in twincam RB30's because that thread is up to 351 pages and it is a goldmine full of useful information.

1. Yes you can install aftermarket gear into the standard screen.

2. 03 and 04 English Menu's available via the link on 3 or so posts above.

Daisu, to clarify, the English menu conversion so far if for the Series 1 - conversion for the Series 2 is still under development. In the meantime, those with Series 2's need to rely on threads like this for updates or info on what others have otherwise learnt.

part of the issue. I have a disc here and to be honest - its not a easy task. I can do hex edits on that disc but unless you have the software that wrote it its going to be a bitch to reverse engineer. ( I found this was the case when I started playing with KWI databases.)

WAV headers - isolate those. whilst you may not be able to do the maps you may be able to get the car to speak english. (my forte' is more hardware based than programming.)

FYI - xenavi is industrial clarion.

(may help - I do not have a DVD here to fiddle with.)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • 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.
