I could spend the whole night in the car jst trying to work out all the options on the TV and trying to find anymore surprises

My TV actually picks up really good audio from free to air channels but no pics obviously...is this normal? I would have thought they would not pick up anything at all.

Anyways...below are some pics that were sent to me by the dealer before I took possesion. Will post more once I give it a good clean! The third pic is the same color, model but with the front lip which I will get in the near future...

Anyone have a translation of all the options in the and settings for the screen?

Are all the menu's in Japanese as per the rest of us?

I have been talking with a company that is able to convert the screens to english but we are going to make sure there are enough people who want the

conversion to make it worth while for them to do the conversion. I have a demo version on my car that covers the main menu and it is awesome.

Cheers

Andy

his is different. unless carwings has bee cracked that one will be a no go.

Hi Chris

How many people do you think would want to convert to from Jap to english of the version we are talking about? I need to get some numbers to ensure this project happens.

ring me in the morn to discuss- easier.

Is the english menu conversion means sending the audio unit or the tv controller to that company to be converted, or is that something that can be done by them sending some kind of a CD patch that we can somehow load in here?

It is done with a DVD in the DVD rom drive. Really easy and looks great. Have a look at this thread to see some of the screens. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/M3...62#entry3624762,

Would love Jap to English translation too depending on costs involved...

Wife has an Ipod nano sitting around doing nothing...might as well put it to good use ;)

Imports are like a box of chocolates...you never know what you gonna get! :)

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
