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 ...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
