Hi Guys,

I've got a display screen in my car which has as reversing camera (which works great), however it also has a GPS, and a DVD Player in the glove box, The only problem is the GPS is in Japanese, Is their a way to download Australian maps onto it and change it to english?

Plus I've tried playing a dvd and it doesn't recognise it.

Further more I can pick up tv channels that have no picture but i can hear everything clear as a bell.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Fire up your favourite translation tool and go here....

Panasonic Sat Nav manuals

No way to put Aus maps on it, but......

You are miles ahead of the factory Sat Nav for two reasons.

1. you already have phono inputs and outputs from the unit. Makes it easy to connect ipod for music and movies or AUS standard Digital TV tuner

2. you have a DVD player, not just a DVD rom. Out of the box you can play NTSC region free DVDs. My Chinese knock offs play fine and the picture is great.

I have just completed installation in my car with a PA11-NIS working with the iPod as a pretend Auto changer. I have also used the phono inputs on the PA11 to connect the output of the satnav to the factory audio. This means that DVDs play with sound through the stereo. Finally, I also bought a Griffin Tune Center. Griffin Tune Center, and installed it in the armrest. This is now plugged into the Sat Nav inputs with the screen displaying song information... I only use this on longer trips as if forgets what track it was playing when I turn off the car. It is controlled by its original remote using this IR Extender.

As a bonus, whilst it was apart, I reversed the manual mode gearshift, so it is now logical, and because everthing is now packed much tighter, a squeak that was in the cuphole area, has gone..

2.5 hours well spent...

Are you saying that the DVD rom has a an input for Video?

If so, how do you get this input to play on the screen?

Panasonic unit has DVD player, not DVD rom and also audio and composite inputs and audio outputs... Found the reversing camera plug and mode as well...

Whilst not as integrated as the OEM units they do have more functions out of the box... even if I do miss out on the economy leaf.. :D

Can't watch TV, as I have not fitted the AUS spec tuner and I wasn't so fussed... The panasonic unit also plays MP3s with control via the touch screen, but as the DVD is under the seat (glovebox would have been so more useful) I'm not going to muck about changing discs... and so went down the iPod route.

All came about because the in dash 6 disc was stuffed when I bought the car... AUD 500 to fix. I spent less than that buying this gear on eBay, even the 30Gb iPod video.. I can watch movies off the iPod as well as the DVD player... Had an enjoyable drive down to the inlaws last weekend, with my 15 month old gloriously happy watching Monsters inc. With the DVDs, must be NTSC and must be either Japanese region, or region free. As soon as you have that it will work fine..

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
