Hi guys

Just picked up my new '10 Premium and having gotten used to (reliant) on parking sensors on my M3, im having panic attacks parking this car in my home/work car park

The wing provides a good indication of where the rear of the car is, but i need a cam or sensors

Atm im leaning towards a cam, and am tossing up whether to go for that camera kit US forum member Adrey (Specialized Performance) sells, or the JDM OEM kit from JAPANPARTS

Price is about the same for either.

My question is, is it true our cars are JDM spec and thus pre-wired for the OEM camera kit? Is anyone here running one?

Adrey's kit requires removal of half the dash, not to mention the routing the wiring back and outside the car vs the oem kit which appears to be an install localised entirely in the boot - plus it comes with all the external brackets etc. OEM is going to be a much easier install

Looking forward to hear what route everyone is going with this

Cheers

Sam

thanks mate

re pics, just looks like a stock black gtr atm

car is getting some paint work done this week, then ill detail it and post pics - gotta de-hamburger the rear bootlid too

i installed the mcr harness to light up all 4 rear tails, and got the milltek y-pipe on the way

i also have to philips silver vision the indicator and parker globes, i remember i had to jack up my 350Z to remove guard liner/access back of the headlights - is it same deal with the gtr?

this is the only pic i have atm... polished the exhaust tips which were blacked out with carbon. I thought it was black because of the bad dealer prep, but 2 days later they're black again.....do these things run rich all the time?

Sam,

Good to see you getting into the mods so quick! I have a JDM car and it has always run pretty rich. I have just had the ECU remapped with a Willall COBB tune but it still blackens the exhaust tips. I can highly recommend a COBB tune, it is fantastic bang for your buck.

Don't use exhaust pipe colour to assist in tuning an unleaded car. Doesn't work like the pre-cat days any more. Even properly running cars will blacken the exhaust tips, even after a country trip where they're running at stoich the whole way.

MY10 is DVI - unless specified otherwise the USDM is still analog video. mate of mine has this issue with a car in MLB currently. the JDM item WILL NOT work. most of what I have done is custom. search for GTR naviagtion. it should bring up a few images. failing that I do have it listed on my site under 2009 gtr int he lower left corner.

Roger i noticed you asked the same question as me a while back

So what was your solution? Did you import the JDM parts and it didnt work?

If that's the case, looks like my only plug and play option would be Adrey's kit - remove the dash and tap into behind the screen

2010 ADM is digital video. the kit on NAGTROC is analog. its not even going to plug in.

Chris thanks for the heads up

In emails, Adrey mentioned he has sold kits to 2010 and ADM owners

Starting to wonder now

He asked if i have the Aux button on my radio, which i do, so not sure if that means anything. My car has the iphone/ipod plug in the centre console bin, so i figure that has something to do with the aux button. when i push the aux button, it says no bluetooth audio/media connected

Are you putting together a retail kit for the 2010?

i might just put some good quality universal parking sensors on it, a 2 sensor kit and hide them behind the exhaust grille

i just found this thread

http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?sh...=27353&st=0

seems all i need is the PVCINISI switching unit and to tap into the reverse wire of the M81 harness behind the CD unit

gotta run this past my audio shop to gather their thoughts - considering the install they did on my Z, id imagine they can work this out

makes me wonder then why adrey's kit goes through the hassle of removing the entire screen and tapping mutliple wires behind it

I would still be wary on this. Z34 is ANALOG VIDEO. this is NOT. the piece that your guys used I dare say comes from a brissy suppiler. I haev been working with the same supplier for the digital version since nissan released the car. the connectors are entirely different to anything on the market and thats teh bitch of it.

where are you btw?

im in melbourne chris

so from 2010 nissan went to digital, does that mean pre 2010 cars dont have the nav, ipod connection in ashtray, aux button etc?

cant something be done with the aux botton - maybe connecting a camera in an always on mode that is switchable via the aux botton? or it seems when i press the aux button it looks for a bluetooth audio/video device - there are no cameras on the market that can operate via bluetooth?

despite the dealer telling me no, it seems dvd's do play on the screen, but locked via the handbrake. Do you have anything to bypass the handbrake lock out?

if you come up with a retail kit, you'll have to let me know

did this car come from werribee or FTG nissan?

if FTG go see adam at stylyn car audio in boronia. he will then give me a call. most of the stuff I do is not end user friendly. I can sort out most things on that car easily ( i have the diagrams here - no you cannot get a copy :) ) video is the only pain. as for remapping buttons - nope.

and yep the 09 cars didnt get nav/ipod or aux audio.

unless I did them they went out bare bones. there are 5-6 running around with garmin boxes in them and twin cameras. (one with a race camera setup as well.)

hi guys

bumping this thread

found the camera option in the system diagnostic menu on my 2010

clicking on this gives you the parking line guides when putting into reverse

have ordered the oem camera kit from japanparts (15% off atm) and will be installed entirely within the boot area. I have pulled back the boot trim and located the plugs for the oem kit

will post some pics when it's all done - that is if it works.....only one way to find out

ok you have my interest :D

details if you have them - how to get the thing into diagnostic would be nice (I have diagrams but not the service manual - nissan would not give me that.)

im not sure whether it's a 2010 Digital thing or whether the older analogue module has it too

to enter system diagnostic menu

turn car on

turn radio off

while holding settings button rotate the volume knob clockwise until the screen appears (takes about 30-40 clicks)

ok same a a 36 series sedan ( same radio/computer.). handy to know.

I'm going to see a dealer on monday anyway so I'll have a squiz at a new one.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
