Hey guys,

I have been looking for someone to do my GPS conversion from Jap to English for my 370GT.

I got a quote from Michael at Revolution Electronic Services for $1500. He is at Haberfield, btw

Anyone else gotten any better quotes?

You could look at doing a double din conversion and getting a GPS head unit, im getting mine installed on the 28th xtrons headunit with full GPS, english conversion done on my stock gear the head unit will play dvd on the stock screen and GPS on the head unit at the same time.

Bloody good question. I didn't have a long chat with the guy.

I highly doubt that the FULL conversion will be for $1500

How much we talking if you dont mind. So does that mean they are going to have to buy a new console to fit the Double Din unit in or are they going to cut out the plastic and install the unit?. Also did they say how long it would take to do?

EDIT: Sorry i was thinking of the v35 not the v36 console..

I would LOVE to see how he pulls that off for $1500.. the intefaces are $600 on their own. let alone a decent GPS. and the system is still in japanese.

I have seen a few DVD conversions in V35s and to be honest if its the same guy (and I believe it is) personally I would steer clear. speak to turbosuk about his car.

over the space of 6-8 months I have had conversations with people that want to crack this thing but none are in a position to do so and a lot seem to point the question at me. balls in your court - someone rip the HDD out of it . unlock it and post the 30gb of contents up so we can get cracking on it.

if you want to buy one of these cars buy one WITHOUT navi and add it. that is FAR easier to do that trying to reverse engineer the top end unit believe me. (it shares the same platform as the JDM GTR with a different boot loader.)

***UPDATE***

Guys, i went and met with the guy at Revolution Services.

1. The japanese GPS will be converted to Aussie roads.

2. He will install a ipod cable into my glove box so that i can play my MP3s from it. I am currently playing music via Blutooth.

Nothing else changes

This all for $1500. is it worth it?

yeah from what he showed me.

everything stays the same except now the GPS is australian

and did he give you the ability to use the touch screen?? that's a mod that I CAN do. I'm in the midst of doing a US car at the moment like that. no buttons to work with so it has to be touch only.

hey guys,

im over in Perth and awaiting a 2008 370GT SP. I have been trying to find out what the go is with GPS/entertainment console. For a full conversion is it an absorbant amount of money? or just not possible? To guys here who have been through this already, what option did you go with? did u have a different system installed? Is the japenese system easy to use for playing mp3s from the onboard HD or CDs? What i want to know is..... If not having GPS doesnt really matter is there an option on there to just change from japanese to english for standard music options etc...............

As far as we know, nobody has been able to do a full conversion.

You can rip and replace stuff if you have the time and money, but converting from Japanese to English has NOT been done.

I've had my v36 a year and to be honest my dash mounted GPS has done ok. There is a nice translation on how to use the Japanese features stuck at the top of this forum. Bluetooth phone pairing, Ripping CDs to the Hard Drive, etc.

yeah i actually googled this and it came up with this thread. I didnt see the sticky FAQ at the top of the forum which pretty much makes me look like an idiot for asking the previous questions haha

Yeah i saw that translation. Its great and looked as though unless you want GPS you can get away with just the japanese music box and stuff no worries. Have you changed your console buttons or anything or do they still read japanese?

Hey Chris, is this using the TX wires on the Garmin unit? I looked at this but it said for experienced technicians, so I left it :blush:

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By tidi0x · Posted

      I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      By StevenJames32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.
