Have you noticed any differences in features/functionality between the US manual and the imports?

Buttons are mirrored and some have different functions, I will post a pic later with my translation.

"Carwings" is only for japanese models.

Side camera is I think only japanese again.

DVD does not play region 4 (AUS), have to try all region I guess.

FM radio does not cover needed frequencies (I guess that is common for all models).

Understands English / Russian / Japanese names in songs with no issues on my mp3.

Yes - a great find!

Very keen to hear some solutions to fix the TV. Best thing I've thought of so far is getting an Auto Elec to wire in a tiny set top box and plug it into the AV jacks. Would have to use it's remote/controls though, but then again, I don't expect to watch much TV. Unsure how to attach an aerial for this or how to hook into the stock one.

Still trying to pair my phone too...

Mine has an aftermarket Panasonic Digital TV installed, which uses the AV adapter...

I'm guessing i can just use this to tap in and install an Aussie Digital TV (trying to find the equivilant panasonic unit here, so i dont' have to re-wire.)

will let you know how it goes!

Would like more info on the seating position memory buttons on the driver's door, could not find them on the US version...

And has anyone played with the VDC button?? Did it completely remove the safety features of did they they just turn back on as soon as the slip light came on???

For position memories (seat and side mirrors), vehicle must be in Park, parking brake is not essential. Press the Set button momentarily then press and hold the desired memory position until the light extinguishes itself. To recall, under the same conditions, press the desired button momentarily.

I play with VDC quite often. :) It switches off traction control and remains off until the car is stopped and started again.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
