My port looks like that, but I don't have the cable. Nor the 'BOSE for Skyline' badge, even thought I have the BOSE stereo (SP model).

Mines all Infiniti badging anyway.

BTW am in touch with a company in NZ that makes the band expanders - only $30 NZ delivered for very high quality ones.

Still need to work this out: 'Also I would need to know what type of antenna plug is in the back of the radio unit eg. A single plug or a twin pin plug as these model vehicles varied."

Anyone know?

There are quite a few band expanders available here in NZ, quite a few advertised on TradeMe also

Before you order one check what Mhz you require, they generally come in two different Mhz ranges and you will need to decide which is appropriate for the FM signal range that you use

Very easy to install for most cars, except for Nissan and those damn aerial plugs they have. TradeMe also usually has adaptors for the Nissan aerials listed

Hi David,

Thank you for your enquiry. What area are you in Australia so I can

work out the frequency range you would need and also are the main stations

you listen to in the higher band range eg.over 100MHz? Also I would need to

know what type of antenna plug is in the back of the radio unit eg. A single

plug or a twin pin plug as these model vehicles varied.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I'm in Melbourne. I like to listen to as high as 107.5Mhz and as low

as 89.9Mhz (or perhaps a little lower).

Is there an easy way for me to determine the antenna plug?

How much are the units + shipping?

Regards,

David.

Hi David,

The unit you need is a 10MHz which will allow reception below 100MHz

by deducted 10MHz from the station you want and 20MHz deduction for stations

above 100MHz. The cost is NZ$30.00 including airpostage.

There is no easy way. If the radio is a factory unit then it will probably

have a twin plug as they have a diverse antenna. If it has had the Bose

system installed instead of the factory unit then it will more than likely

have a single plug.That's as close as I can tell you.

Payment per Visa/Mastercard or PayPal or Bank Direct credit if you can do

that from Australia.

Regards,

Peter

Hmmm... don't suppose you took a photo? Did you order one from fmBand Expanders in NZ?

I'm going to have a Tom Tom (Mini USB) plug wired in too while I'm at it.

If I CBF'd I was going to investigate having a mini SD set top box powered and connected up to the AUX. Unsure how the reception would be though with little/no aerial.

Hey - is your V36 manual? If so Geoff told me about yours.

I'm in Hobart regularly on business. If you ever come down this way let me know. Would love to bring my one over on the ferry but don't know if I could be bothered with the 10+ hour trip.

Hey, yeah it's a six sp. Didn't take a pic, spat it when it didn't fit and just left it. Got it from Leading Edge.

What do you do for a crust that brings you to Hobart?

Boat trip isn't that bad, I've done over half a dozen times (not much on flying).

It's comforting to know the AFS OFF flashing indicator was because of the HID's being removed. That was my theory but considering I saw a little movement from my headlights before it would start flashing, I wasn't too sure what to think. I'm guessing the motorised assembly is getting jammed on something so to avoid burning anything out, it then switches it off.

I've left my AFS switch in the off position until I refit my HIDs on my next day off (and hopefully dry weather).

Hey guys, ipod connector, from japan so this should work on our cars

Found the part looking through Electronic Parts Catalog for CKV36

How can you say its an ipod cable? there are no pic ref for that part number, i reckon they are for the different phones they have in japan, none compatible in Aus probably...

I would like to write a conclusion for this thread.

1. Both headlights move with steering

2. AFS function is fully restored when you revert back to D2S hid

3. Light emission 'pattern' is back when you revert back to D2S hid.

Adr compliance is stupid. Nissan design its headlight to run oem hid. People here switch it out to standard halogen globe, predominantly H1 size in which has different focal length. Then what you get is NO LIGHT THROUGH THE CENTRE OF YOUR VISION, short visible distance and your AFS malfunctions. Dangerous?? But the adr wants it that way...go figure!

Fortunately if the workshop who did the compliance are smart and proper, buy the D2S hid globe and it only takes 30mins to revert back to hid. At least it was on my 08 V36

Of course. They're trying to follow the UK one I think, with the washers etc. That's great for apline regions, don't need it in Aus. Either way, if it works for the Japanese, why can't it work for us?

Oh that's right, 50% of the cars on the road have the headlights pointed too high. Literally nothing can be done about that, even if you put adjusters in as standard (which is the case in Europe).

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
