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??

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.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
