Hi everyone.

Just bought a 2000 GTR R34 vspec 2 from japan and i was wondering if the tv sat nav unit can be converted to australian specs?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nick.

ok putting it more bluntly - the nav unit alone is $1300 add cables and modding and time and you have little change from $1600..

I work on these things DAILY and that price tends to back people right off unless they are serious.

Hrm yeah thats someone I would use.

"Yeah I can fix it, but im not going to tell you a price, how much money you got though?"

Don't go Flaming people when you havent been on these forums for long. Have a look at when Chris joined the forums and the number of posts he's made. He's helped numerous people out on these forums and written DIY's on various things. Also as he mentioned he does this stuff for a living.

Have a little respect for others on here.

Wasn't flaming the guy mum, just saying from a customers point of view I dunno about anyone else but saying "what do you want to spend on fixing it" rather than just giving a price is more going to put me off getting it done.

I havn't been on the forums long either (been lurking for a while though) and can see that Chris has got answering questions down to a fine art.

Basically, if he was to write out information heavy posts in response to every single question that he does reply to (often posts are directed AT him) then his hands would have worn off from typing, long long ago.

Now, without further hijacking.

- Chris, would you recommend simply getting a standalone unit? I assume they would be much cheaper and do the exact same thing.

Mate, just have a read around the car audio forums - chris is one of the most respected guys here in terms of his helpfulness and knowledge of skyline audio installations. He's not trying to make a buck here.

up to you really. most people opt for the stick on glass things as a easy way out . they do tend to get lost and do strange things. the fixed items are a lot more robust so they give very little probelm. I have been using the GARMIN GVN52 in most of mine and have zero probelm with the unit.

for the 34GTR thats the best route. for a 34 with OE screen (howie this is directed at you.) its your choice. I can have a DVD playing on that screen in minutes with the audio routed back out of the main radio OR with a bit of fiddling nav done in a similar fashion.

still waiting to get my hands on a R35. have been asked to look at one in sydney but thats something I'm gong to wait on due to lack of time.

So are you saying that the screen out of the 34 gtt can be made to play dvds if you had a head unit that can play dvds.

Any help would be great.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.

      You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought.

      Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.

      iPad gauge cluster

      So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
