Further to Cobey's post, they seem to work better in some areas than others. I know Brisbane has pretty much 100% coverage. My area is so hilly and miles from the transmitter that I don't get all channels everywhere. The picture will freeze for a bit as I go behind big hills. Most urban areas would provide viewable TV - for your passengers - I would think.

Cool, was going to start on mine this weekend but too much on and with F1 next weekend its pretty much a writeoff...care to send through any tips?

Sorry, only just saw this. Umm, tips.... Besides "be nice to your mum", my only tip would be pull the tuner out of the bracket to plug the connecting cable into the socket.

On the M35, all the connectors are visible with the tuner bolted to the side of the car. In the V's they sit with the connectors facing away from the boot space.

When I was helping Cobey with his install, I tried to plug the lead (individual connectors) into the white socket by feel. Maybe if I had a mirror it would have worked. As it turned out I didn't get the video lead on properly and for a minute were thinking it was all broken.:blush:

It only takes a few seconds to remove the screws so you can see what you are doing. That's my tip.

Everything else is pretty straight forward. Just have to work your way along the car removing the sill trim to run the IR lead & antennas (& battery/earth wires if required) & put it back together.

yeah you need to use the powered antennas in sydney. when i didnt have mine powered, i barely got a channel, with power. i get everything!

the language conversion can bypass the screen cut, but this would only be for 'testing' purposes. there are switches available from japan that plugs into the loom and does everything for you.

u guys using a powered antenna for that result?

Ive got an Asuka and can barely pick up a channel in Syd :(

also how did you bypass the trigger that cuts out the screen when the car is in motion? that ridiculously expensive switch or something else?

If your antenna isnt working and it came with the asuka unit have you tried going in the menu and turning antenna to powered on. Its in the menu 605 (in menu mode press menu then 6 0 5). It put 5v onto the antenna.

It might help

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      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.
