Hi Guys

I'm very strongly thinking about a nm35 stag (axis pref) in Radelaide.

from what I've read the screens are pretty much useless, has anyone tried installing a Car PC in its place? you could the exisiting screen for a new touch screen and run it to a pc under front seats or something like that (only general thoughts as i don't have a stag yet).

Seems very tempting to have a pc boot up quickly from a compact flash card and have a larger laptop harddrive for music and such. plus a GPS is easy install.

Any thoughts or recommendations.

Cheers

The screens are not useless. You can now get the language converted to have all the functional menu's in English. Only things that are not changed will not ever ork here as they are Japanese systems only. (ie, the FM system and until a map disc is available, the Navigation system)

You can get a local Digital Tv tuner from Chook on this forum for the TV to work and then pretty much the whole system is working.

Or you can rip the whole thing out and start again but you will be spending around $1500-2000 to do this.

Or buy the translator off Andy. . if you are in NSW

when are you getting yours converted Jules?

When I get a TV/Navigation System installed . . :D

Mine came without. . . .Sadly my Stag only came with twin sunroofs, Bose Stereo, Cargo net & blind . . . :)

all the climate control functions are in english too!

its only the tv/satnav stuff thats in japaneses. weirdly, the rest of the car is in english

This always confused me - with all stageas. For a car that was never intended to be sold outside japan, there's a lot of english scattered around the place.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
