R34 Gtt Factory Audio/tv Translation And Mods

got an R34 GTT last week and it has that litle pop-out TV screen where most people have the 3 guages instead. It also has a CD player with a joystick connected to the TV so you control the cd player using the joystick and TV..

It's a neat unit and plays standard CDs but all the buttons have japanese writing on them (except the 2 that say 'cd' and 'tv') - does anyone have the translation for this factory audio system?

Also I'd like to know if it's possible to replace the standard tape-deck unit (the one sitting on the bottom, closest to the shifter) with an after-market one and have it connected to the rest of the system ie. be able to control it with the joystick and TV system that's in the car? Strathfield told me they'd have to completely disconnect the cd player (with the joystick) and the TV if they were to install an aftermarket cd player instead of the tape-deck.

Anyone know if there's a compatible aftermarket (ipod compatible) cd/mp3 player that works with the factory TV/Joystick (or atleast the TV) as I'd like to keep the TV???

can you post your suggestions/thoughts here? You're in Brissy so there's no way I can get up there anyway ... besides, your advice in written form may help more than just me :)

By the way, I still haven't found a translation for all the buttons with jap writing on them ..anyone seen it? I've seen someone here mention that there was a trasnlation done once but I can't find that thread.

ok-

unit can be replaced- it needs a AUX IN to retain the TV - there is a fair bit of fiddling and a custom lead to make the two work. from there its not a probelm. to be honest I would leave SCR out of it and find someone that can actually make it work. where are you?

I can suggest a few places that CAN do what you ask.

in regard to the translation of the menus - there is a russian hack version running around but this is for the later cars.

I'm in sydney ... can FHRX do this as they seem to have a good rep. But to be honest I'm not sure if any reputable audio pro would bother with this stuff as I don't want to spent to much money ($350 tops incl. a decent mp3 player with ipod support)

The factory cd player unit (not the tape deck) has aux-in on the front panel so it's easy to connect an ipod, the only problem is the ipod isn't being charged .. so if I get a ciggy lighters charger for the ipod I'm set but then I've got 2 messy wires hanging around.

What's this about russian hack? Hm I think I better take a photo of the stuff I'm talking about ...

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
