has anyone replaced the brembo pads yet? how much do they cost?

cheers,

[WazR32GTSt]

hi caesar, i think the brembo's are the same as used on the 350z's so just check out any pads that fit 350z brembo's

race brakes makes great pads - i use rb74s in the front and they aren't expensive

[SkylineNovice]

The Jap - English conversion of all the screen except the Navigation screens should be avilable by June and cost should be around $200 - 250. This cost is still a bit of a guess as I am waiting on the cost from the company developing the conversion but it is possible. I have a demo version (a few screeens converted) already installed and it is quite easy to do.

Cheers

Hey Andy any updates on this one?!

Hey Andy any updates on this one?!

The timing is still estimated as September for finished product. They are also changing the fuel consumption to read "liters/100km" instead of "km's/Liter" as currently shown.

As soon as I have some concrete stuff to post I will put it up on the forum.

Cheers

hello all,

been spending a few days reading all the posts on sat nav conversion/replacement .. getting more confused.

a few bits you might be able to help me with

1 ... is there any real chance that russian conversion cd will ever happen

2 ... I'm just about to get a double dinn replacement units (2k ) ... not really happy about this as i would prefer to keep the centre console as it, but it just dont work.

3 ... by putting in a double dinn unit and moving up the ac control unit, does the original pop up screen have to be taken out or can it be left in the unit ( i dont want to put in a blanking unit if possible).

4 ... last thing, if i do go the double dinn route and leave in the original screen, is it possible to run a cable from the new unit to the original screen, ok i would have the same image on both screens but i prefer the position of the original screen (easier to see)

thanks for any help/advice you might have

I think you can leave the OE screen but wiring it up with your new double DIN head unit is a different story. But the OE screen does have an aux input, that's a way for your connection to get in but to switch to aux input you normally use the factory bose. so there you got another issue to sort out, but i'm sure it can be done with some kind of a relay. but i'm no expert - best to answer might be Chris who's done some work on these cars and know what works and what's not

The Jap to Enlish language conversion will happen and is due in September. The actual conversion of language is not hard. I already have a demo of the conversion that changed my first screen and part of the fuel screen. The whole precess is also very easy to install.

The delay is while they write a program to protect themselves from theft of their intelectual property. As the conversion is done from a DVD disc, they do not want to give the conversion away and would like to be paid fairly for the work they have done to work it out.

September is just around the corner.

Awesome Andy.. wondering if it'll be a self-install process, or will we have to take our vehicles to a distributor of the software? If so is there a way Adelaide folks can get it done without driving to Sydney?

1 - I'll leave that to andy.

2. up to you . budget $4-800 for the necessary bits to do it correctly. (top end price is for bose.)

3. no. I did a stagea in sydney (yes I travel ) and retained teh screen by request.

4. yes. and it can run full time if needed. one point though. FORGET the EBAY rubbish. if you were going the 2DIN route do this: AVN6000 with IPOD, B'Tooth and a HITV box. best $4k you could spend.

as for me. I work on them daily and I have a LOT of solutions for them. forget the V36/37 series btw. 36 is on the RAWS list - NO-ONE has done the$30k emissions test on them and to my knowledge there's not one in the country yet. 37 series is too new.

questions on the 35 AV system - ask

The install process to get my demo was pretty basic. Install a DVD in the DVD rom, scroll through the Jap menu on your screen and enter on a few options on the screen. Quite simple even though you are guessing what the boxes say as they are in Jap but after that the process just runs. The demo I had that converted about 3 screeen took about 5 minutes so not sure how long the full version will take.

I will know for sure if it is self install once I know what the security process is for each install. I am sure we will be able to install it where ever the car is.

I understand the main problem encountered when doing the install is that the laser in the DVD rom can get too dirty over time and doesn't read the disc. In these cases the DVD rom need to be removed from the car to clean the laser. In Russia this has been the case in about 1 in 10 installs.

Just counting down the day........

thanks for the help lads ....

my car is a 2006 350gt .... had 300zx for years, never liked the look of the 350's till i actually saw one irl ... liked it a lot then.

I'd like to wait for the conversion disk, but need a proper cd/radio ... was thinking about a Kenwood DNX-7200 (seems pretty good)

Chris you flying to Ireland any time soon .... you get the flight and i'll pay the install

[Chris Rogers]

no but I'll sell you the correct bits to fit that radio bose or non bose?

[danny_tq]

If After the look only, This Brembo Cover for around $30 a part is a good choise

Even an AMG look

And Porsche

Sorry Danny:

I personally have never used this stuff, I heard that they applied almost factory break and stick onto it. I also afraid it may fall off during driving.

[rs73]

I came across this bluetooth unit:

plus the harness that goes with Nissan/Infiniti

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13305_Metra+BT-7550.html

What do you guys think...?

Chris have you got similar thing? I'm trying to avoid anything that clips onto sun visor or plugs into ciggy lighter.

[Chris Rogers]

yep I sell those. there is a catch with the bose setup though. the harness probably wont work.

I also sell the screen versions IE 3200 and 3400.

Is this like having alloy hubcabs, a waste of time?

Why anyone would want to stick something on their brake calipers is beyond me.

Anyway, sorry back on topic.

They look good, but if you can not integrate into the stereo there isn't much point, imo.

A Bluetooth headset over the ear is what I use, that an Nokia Voice Dialling.

Chris is there something that works with Bose?

also when you come down here, I probably need you to look into the navigation's voice as it's not loud enough even at 100%. You told me you have a 'patch' to make the navi voice louder?
