I have it confirmed, there is no Australian Nissan with Standard (Factory) GPS. So no Nissan maps, the unit's use an add on box/wiring GPS that is either dealer fitted (option) or is installed at the dock, in the Nissan holding yard when 'imported' for an Aussie owner. Nothing is installed at the Factory...

As stated the unit uses Siemans software via a memory card of which there is a chance I can get to see one soon. Presumeably, it can be replicated. Incidentially it is a $330 spare part as an upgrade and it is installed in the car behind the glovebox of a Murano and Patrol. It stays with the car in order to work and is not downloaded via a disc.

Does this help?

Unfortunatley I don't think this will help. What we need are the digital maps that can then be coded correctley to work off DVD in the right orientation in Aust.

Cheers

Andy

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

Yes I think you are right, but this card will have the maps on them, just not sure what format that they are in.

To compare with my Mobile Phone GPS Software (Sorry if that is a bit crude) that I downloaded off the net, I think that the program that runs the maps will need to be able to read it. So if it is a Nissan Aust part, then the format may be close, even if it is just a Seimans unit.

Either way there is no other unit installed in an Australian Nissan and I don't think we will find another option.

As a guess, perhaps Nissan has a commercial agreement with Siemans and globally all maps are in this fomat. Without finding the files and taking a look at them in comparision with the Japan maps we will never now.

Just a long shot... but one that I will try to investigate.

actually no. nissan has agreements with suppliers of maps world wide - ZENRIN - US market. Xenavi - Japan market, Siemens/VDO - Oz market.

been down this path already and I donated a siemens disc quite a while ago.

have a quick dig on this. it has been covered already.

The guys from Xanavi in Russia are working on a conversion for the computer from Jap to English for all the screens except the GPS functions. They have said this would be ready around June.

It is as simple as putting in a disc in your DVD rom drive, press a few buttons on screen and then the computer is upgraded to English.

Price is not confirmed and timing still to be locked in but pushing for it as soon as possible.

Cheers

G'day,

Any updates on the language conversions from Xanavi yet

Cheers

Jason

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.

      Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.

      Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
