What's The Best/easiest Site To Download Nissan Fast Software?

[jmhinkle]

I got it downloaded and set it as it said, but then I lost all writing. I set it back to anything with Western again and now the boxes that were in Japanese symbols show nothing at all. Crap.

[jmhinkle]

The version I downloaded was 2.0 and Win7 should be 5.01. I think that is my problem with the MS Gothic not working. Sure as heck not paying $129 for a silly font.

if you were to go to google, and search 'ms gothic japanese', and then hit enter, you might find the second link helpful

It doesn't seem to do much to my fast pages but

[MrRx7s3]

Also my vin number doesn't work when I enter it.

[89CAL]

Are you putting in the aus Vin number? It has the 6u900 I think at the front of mine. The Vin starts at ecr33 or hcr33 etc

[iruvyouskyrine]

My car also doesn't come up in fast.

HCR32 XXXXXX

Also had a mates S13 that doesn't work either. Every other car apart from those two have worked for me though.

My second link was Wikipedia? Looked through it, but didn't see anything helpful to my issue. Is that what you were referring to?

[MrRx7s3]

Ohh my bad haha lol I thought that that was the vin, I'll try it out when I get home, thanks.

Haha sorry. It's on fffonts or something like that

I work at a nissan dealership.

There is a local version and a japanese version.

When doing imports you pretty much ignore the 6u9000 part. Its easier to just use the model number instead

Not the most user friendly catalogue but quite good when uve got the hang of it

PM me if u need help

That was the one I used originally and it didn't quite work right. That was the reference to version 2.0 vs the 5.01 that Win7 needs.

[89CAL]

Ah ok. I see lol

[MrRx7s3]

I finally got around to re-installing fast on my computer after it crashed, vin numbers won't work??? I have put the MS Gothic font too but theres still heaps of japanese writing? what am I doing wrong here.

[89CAL]

your not putting the aus part of the vin in are you? (6U900 or whatever it is) just go ECR33 12345 (as an example)

Otherwise you can press the CD looking icon at the top and choose a model. Just makes it a bit of a pain when you go to look at illustrations as you have to pick the car from all the different options each time

[MrRx7s3]

Nah not putting the aus vin, was actually trying it to get some info as a mate is looking at a few r34s.

[89CAL]

as long as the books (a1, a2 etc) are in the right spot and the program is looking in the right spot you shouldnt have a problem

Sounds like you have used it before so I dont need to explain that the VIN is split into 2 boxes, Trying to think of any other tricks but non really come to mind

[MrRx7s3]

Do the books need to be in some kind of order?

[MrRx7s3]

The books aren't in the Nissan folder they are in another folder could this be the cause?

[MrRx7s3]

Here is what I did and this works in windows 64 bit systems so no messing around with virtual windows setup which is a pain in the ass.

NISSAN FAST 2010 and A1, A2, A3, B1, B2 CDs

This will install on 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

(this will be approx. 1GB in size)

Instructions

• Open the NISSAN_FAST_2010_A1_A2_A3_B1_B2.zip file.
• Extract/Drag the 'NISSAN' folder to your local disk (E.g. C:\ drive).
• Navigate to 'C:\NISSAN\FASTPRG\WIN2000\SETUP' and open 'SETUP.EXE'.
• Click 'Next' a few times and complete the setup.
• Navigate to 'C:\NISSAN' and open 'Nfset'.
• Select the 'CD-ROM SETUP' tab and add all CDs from 'C:\NISSAN\CD' (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2) by selecting 'Browse' for each drive number.
• This step is not necessary. In 'Control Panel' open your 'Fonts' folder. Click on 'Font Settings' and make sure 'Hide fonts based on language settings' is unchecked. While in Nfset, click on the 'ALL' tab and select 'MS Gothic' as the font and script to Japanese
• Now open 'Nissan Menu' from the Start menu.

Hopefully I've explained this as easy as possible and didn't miss any steps.

Cheers,

Ants

I installed it using this method and way.

You tried the link I posted for the files?

I just installed this last week so I know the files work.

You'll need to download MagicDisc, at least 1 2010 file, install via the setup file (I used windows 2k setup), decompress all the letter files into sub directories of the main FAST directory (i.e. c:\fast\A2), edit the NFS.EXE file to point to the sub directories where you decompressed the files, then start the program.

I didn't do this as mentioned. Edited October 1, 2014 by MrRx7s3
