Adm R35 Gtr - What The Car Did Not Come With....but...


Recommended Posts

OK guys, I have had my car for just over 5 days now and have read the users manual and gone through a lot of online stuff, however I cannot get over some of the following points and I want to be sure I am not missing something;

1) No sat nav - the US market and JDM market have these but not for us. NAGTROC mention an input plug in their model, can we tap an aftermarket product into our cars somehow so it comes up on the screen or what solution are people coming up with?

2) The US model can play DVD's, as far as I can tell we cannot, once again NAGTROC.

3) The US model has an Aux in...do we have the same.

Other questions:

I go into my tyre pressure and it is in kPa, the manual shows PSI and kPa, however I have no option for changing to PSI in the units mode.

I do not have all the menu items listed in the features, I will go through more later, but I would love to hear from everyone who has any solutions or ideas about the above.

I did the:

Hold Settings and turn the knob next to function and went into the setup menu, however nothing too interesting here...just changed the cars name from My Car to Jeff's GTR.

Basically I would love to have Aussie owners post solutions they find to the things our cars are missing...or mods they come up with.

Cheers,

Gibbo, congratulations hope you are having fun.

I am working on a solution with one of the guys here (Chris Rogers) for Sat Nav, rear camera and Aux imput.

He/I will keep you posted. I am certainly no expert myself so appreciate the knowledge of others also.

Guys i know the rear camera is a quick and easy one to do, ive seen the camera setup go into an R35 here in Aus, took about 2 hours from memory. Pretty simple job too. (I gave the bloke the key, had lunch, bludged a bit on the net, then it was done)

EDIT: Looks as factory as it ever could. Most people couldnt even see the camera until I showed them where it is :)

Have you asked the dealer about these?I mean nissan have been spruking of back up ect.....I hope you dont take this the wrong way but id be drilling them over everything......The info from people on this has always been fantastic on all models,I just hope that you have or intend to drill them out on any info you need ...after all in there words....we are all fringe dwellers :)

Please let me know any details, I am very keen to get this done and as I am based in Sydney so if someone has experience it would be great.

PM me if you like.

Nissan made it very clear to me when I picked my car up, "If it was not provided with the car from Japan then they would not provide it or warrant it" The GPS they offered me has evaporated, hell I did not even get a proper key ring or number plate covers.

I am curious, the guys from Brookvale, what did Nissan give you with your car? Keyring, number plate covers etc....anything?

Cheers

with Brookvale i got number plate covers and two key rings (one metal and one leather) + a little GTR model in a box. No floor mats though, they are apparently coming soon.

No probs, PM is on its way

At Von Bibra Nissan gold coast I received GTR floor mats, metal key ring x 1 and the model, some book is on its way from nissan also

Thats awfully nice of them...they really are a bunch of turds

The ADM not having a decent way of moving music onto the car was a big one for me that was so cheap of Nissan removing cf card. Perhaps the AUX in could have an plug attached that plugs into the iPhones?

I'd be interested in putting on a JDM reverse camera if anyone has success buying an fitting one please pm me if ur selling them.

What a joke 150k grand car you have to stuff around with this nonsense shoulda gone European........ M3 would be been nice.

No sat nav gear ? you get that these days with 40-50 k cars. I personally wouldnt get a Gtr if i had the cash

is there any way of retrofitting the CF card / slot? I wonder if the wiring harness is set up for it already

not that I can see. I had one down today and no. its a hardware difference.

that said I did find a GPS antenna on the ADM version I had today. not sure why, I would LOVE to get one of these on to a consult 3 and have a fiddle.

I can get them. that's the easy bit. your profile says JDM - do you have that car or a ADM one. I would like to tear a JDM car down to note differences.

The Aussie cars I have seen dont have voice recognition software, ie. there is no cute sounding little Japanese chick to answer Sumo commands when driving. No biggie, but like the CF card its a mystery why its not there? :wacko:

It's a hardware difference. there are two different part numbers in the JDM fast I have and only one for the ADM FAST . neither of them match up. that said I dare say a LOT of it is turned off. if there is someone that can code in linux then anything is possible. (they run GNX in standard form)

nope and so real way I can see at this stage to get audio/video neatly into it either.

For the things it lacks the GTR is still an awesome car. The acceleration and sheer fun of this package make you forget the small things that are omitted. I picked up a Navman S200 and mounted it under the CD player. The section there is big enough and shaded enough to fit and view the S200 perfectly. You can run the power cable under the middle console so that you can not see it and into the power outlet in the middle console itself, alternatively you can just run it beside your seat. Using the front power outlet made it look unsightly.

Other than that, I am just waiting on getting the reversing camera pricing and I will be a happy chap.

However if anyone finds a way to activate the GPS on the ADM cars please let me know.

Cheers,

Jeff

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
