Hi Guys, sorry for the delay on the reply.

After multiple attempts to get the nav conversion going i've been offered a refund by the supplier/installer who just can't seem to quite get the thing going so i'm going back to the video out option from my samsung mobile which works nicely anyway. Gives both video and audio directions from the factory screen and speakers system but obviously no touchscreen on the headunit. If anyone wants to see the phone approach just let me know and i'll get some photos uploaded.

Thanks

Hi Scarf

There is an interesting thread presently running that uses an IPhone 4

see:

Video In Motion Solution, Cheapskate - DIY Job for those with iPhones

Its for a V35 - but I wonder if it could work on a V36 with the av input plugs and the V36 JDM TV??

Ive just downloaded those apps, and I'll give it a go tonight. Cheers

nope.

4 figure sum though and I won't elaborate on which side either.

that is just unfortunate

is there a solution to get at least the tv working? i can survive on my phone gps like i have in the past, just not the holistic solution for a new car that i would've liked, oh well.

thanks

without money - not really.

that car is unique to japan and as such the systems are as well. to get it working outside that country is a full refit and that also counts for the TV side of things.

that could work if th car was sitting still.

the thing people are not getting with this car is the complexity of it. you can't simply bang a box into it. it all has to be linked in properly.

OK I have a victim :P

red 370 SP with a touch screen. WA customer.

stay tuned for a rework of it. I'm probably going to dump the HD as well.

anyone keen for a fiddle.

processor is a hitach SH4.

OK:

this is a NON NAVI car I am working on. now the unit that is in it IS IDENTICAL to the local 370Z unit. plugs,wiring,screen - everything!

for those that want a easy way out of the radio and lack of navi issues - 370Z/G37 panel IS THE WAY TO DO IT!

firmware would stop it. already been down this path with 3 toyota units. it will load it speak in english but not load the maps or anything else.

the only reason I mentioned the non navi car is that it uses a jap variant of the 370z item and whilst looking at the USDM and local 370 z manuals its the same unit electrically.

the navi version of the V36 is ENTIRELY different.

Chris,

Could you list which version is possible to convert or are you still playing with car from WA? What functionality it would get? Also what is your estimates in $$?

I take non-navi doesn't have any cameras and dash buttons layout is different so can identify easily?

Thanks.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
