That's awesome bro cheers!

thats not bad actually. if you are game pop the deck out of that thing and rip the H'Drive out. it is a 2.5" item and it is locked. HDD tools will unlock it. dump it and play. looking at what you ahve done you are half way to translating this thing. the one I have here has R35 GTR on it and I have a V36 one as well (with a dead drive as I later found out!). so are you game?

hmmm... sounds like it could be a plan... I was part of the xbox-linux team and have tinkered with reprogramming the iphone to use android, so if it's software i could definitely have a play around..

But i assume all the graphics / language and operating system files would be built in a proprietary format? (are they located on the HDD? If so what OS does the setup run?)

from what I can see most of it is on the drive. there is a bootloader in the chassis but thats it from what I can tell.

I'd hit it with a hex editor. its written in posix.

Thanks. I'm looking at importing a near new 370GT sedan. I'll keep this as a reference very good. Does anyone know how aligned this is with the 370Z?

Hey guys, I have purchased the whole USDM setup from Canada, for the English translation. Need to find someone that knows about these cars so I can get it put in. Any help with someone that can fit the system in Syd would be a great help.

Also Loz if you still have the stock wheels and those springs/Suspension parts lying around, are you keen to sell them. As you can see from my Pic I am in need of a little lowering.

I hope you got all of the wiring with it. the jdm is quite different.

Hey Chris

I was hoping that maybe you could be the one to help me out with the fitment and getting the whole setup running. I actual bought a whole dash cut and got it shipped. even came with the little infiniti clock.

Anyway let me know if you are willing to give it a go. I will be drinving to Bris in the holidays (Nov/Dec) to see family. If you would like to give it a go I can drop it at you shop and leave it there for a week or so.

Get back to me

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
