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


Recommended Posts

I've put my Tom Tom in the same place as Jeff - it also means I can now have the GPS on and still see the MFD functions.

It's no big deal.

The car as a car is amazing and I can live without a built in Sat Nav, auto headlights (I just leave mine on as they switch off as soon as the car is off), auto wipers and an SD card slot. I will try and get an iPod hooked up but if I can't I can live with playing MP3 cd's.

Anyone who needs the above things doesn't get what this car is about so really shouldn't buy one anyways as it's the wrong car for you.

Hell.............. I don't give a rat's arse about GPS............. I can find my way to any race track i need to visit

I just want my car..........was suppose to get it tomorrow :woot::D

However, the only 2 mechanic's that can work on it have been off sick yesterday and today :ermm:

So now it is Friday afternoon (if I am lucky)............

Oh well nothing like a 2 hour drove home in peak hour traffic to test out this amazing car :D:)

Cheers

Agree with both of the above.

although I am looking at solutions to some of the things listed, I am more than happy with it as it is stock. 2 weeks post delivery and I am if anything more amazed with the car than ever.

I had every gadget in my last car (540i) and only ever really used the bluetooth, and this bluetooth $h#ts all over it anyway!

Mark,

I think you will enjoy the drive home from the goldie even if you are stationary most of the time. will give the northern coasties something to gawk at.

Yep...too easy getting points as it is.....Bluetooth was a must....

you guys are bastards

so envious

man, Ive spent around 120k on my knees, that cash could have been my morgage paid out plus a GTR on finance......

now Im in insane pain being 201cm tall and no patella's. On disability pension as of this year; cant afford to buy a 24mm socket to take off my blown (oil seal) turbo in the stagea

stop grouching about satnav, thats crazy talk, enjoy the GTR for what it is. a Nissan GTR 38tt, supercar.

Yeah I know............. gonna stop at a mates place in Sanctuary Cove to have a bite to eat and head off later so i can give it a squirt on the way hame (nothing above 110 of course :P ).

BTW I spoke to Maroochy Car Sound about a rear view camera and they quoted me $1,349 (does that sound fair) with an RGB converter, camera (hi res hi angle) and fitting.

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

mapping will still be an issue - unless you can find out what engine the USDM and JDM units run. the new clarion is IGO and Navteq based. this thing *should* be similar.

as for turning it on - consult 3 or a hardware swap I figure.

by the time they tear it down do teh fitting and bits - its close. as it sits now with marks car thats close to what it works out doing it aftermarket. I'm still looking at the OEM idea more closely.

2 MORE SLEEPS AND I WILL FINALLY HAVE MINE :):)

2pm Friday and did I mention I am excited.

BTW has anyone looked into/had thier windows tinted?

Also i love good quality music in my cars, what are everyone's thought's on the OEM sound system

Cheers

My thoughts are the OEM system should have been better.

I got the "premium audio" package in the Mrs VW and that is a kick ass sound system - I was expecting the GT-R's premium one to be similar but its lacking in depth and the music box thing is a PITA to use unless you are someone that just likes to listen to normal cd's and and doesn't want to manually change discs.

It's back to burning MP3 cd's for me now - or just listening to the radio.

Sigh............ mines the "premium package" as well. Oh well might have to steal my "eclipse gear" from the rex

I have actually found the system to be great, I adjusted the treble and bass and then started ripping disks to the music box. I have programed my music to the styles that I like and just have it mix the music.

All sweet if you got the premium PKG......you will love it. :D

nissan aus now looking at sourcing and supplying JDM rear camera and kit with instructions, not fully over the line yet but here's hoping.

also now pressing them on ipod/mp3 download and satnav options.

yep they told me the same thing. that was until I told them the part numbers and what I really wanted was a FSM- to which I got a resounding no. that manual lives in MLB btw. the dealers request a section at a time

thing being they may source the $1500 kit but its not a guaranteed fit into the electrics of the local car. thats he whole point of what I'm trying to acheive.

Well after around 3 hours behind the wheel I already formed the following thoughts.............

Sound System (premium) while not disappionting, is still not worth the extra money. :ermm::ermm::ermm:

Suspension is much softer than i thought (compared to my rex anyway)

Dunno how I am gonna get a helmet on for track use (I am 6'3").

That's about it for the downside so far............

BUT THE CAR........................

BLOODY AWESOME :):);):banana:

Anyway I can hear it calling me :D:D

if you use an iphone, this belkin unit fits nicely next to the wheel using the dash cig lighter.

I've used one of these FM radio transmitters before on an IPOD in my other car. The quality was not good at all since having to go through a bad FM band or something.

Is this Belkin unit give REALLY good quality or do you notice a noticeable drop in quality over a normal song playing off your music box?

I only use it to charge the phone and hold it where I can use it. not for music. essentially a $89 dollar charger and stand, I have uploaded my music via the very tedious CD upload option

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
