Hey everyone,

Well I'm picking up my V35 in the next few weeks and it has a Carrozzeria system in it with TV/NAV/HDD

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about these systems? (if they play divX?, and if i can buy a hard drive for it or rig up a USB input). Mechanic at the compliance workshop told me that straight off the bat when he turned it on it picked up Channel 10

Only other question is about FM Expanders, is there one I can buy that means I don't have to lose half of the Australian radio stations? (eg: having 89 - 104, or 94 - 108)

Sorry if it has been asked a thousand times, I did a quick search and couldn't find much of use. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Well I'm picking up my V35 in the next few weeks and it has a Carrozzeria system in it with TV/NAV/HDD

Firstly congratulations on your car man.. good to see another Brisbane V owner :thumbsup:

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about these systems? (if they play divX?, and if i can buy a hard drive for it or rig up a USB input).

I have the same system. Haven't tested divx yet.. actually only tested one DVD which didn't work in any DVD player lol so haven't really tested that out.. will update you when I can.

When you get this (fingers crossed), hopefully the owner will have sent you all the stuff that goes with it.

The unit does not work (Cd/DVD etc) unless the hard drive is plugged in (bottom part of display folds down to plug it in).. once you turn it on, it greets you in Japanese (mine does lol).

I have a friend who can read Japanese so will hopefully be able to turn that off.. apparently the menu can be turned into English but I gave up trying that in settings. If I find out, will post a how to.

Haven't really tested the TV that much however I think it may have more to do with the receiver (in the boot) than the antenna as I did a quick scan and picked up random radio stations but no TV.

In the boot is the reciever.. if you got the full system than fingers crossed it will have a reverse camera as well (mine did). It should be above the license plate. Mine came with a 10 stack MD stacker on the boot (lol, removed it) which then revealed the input for the receiver under it.

It should be all plugged up.. the main 2 for your benefit is VTR1 and VTR 2. VTR 2 is for the camera. Once connected, you go into the menu/av/some button than you can select to have either VTR 1 or 2 on or off. If you have both on, it won't display.

VTR1 you can use to plug to a phone or something. I plugged in my N8 which comes up on the screen (I had the A/V cables from a N95 than bought a 3M extensions 3.5mm female to 3.5 Male cable) and it's plugged to my phone if I want. Quality of the phone display isn't the best but meh, does the job.. and seeing as Nokia has brilliant GPS, will come handy but it was more so for playing music.

Haven't toyed around with USB yet but Ipod/phone etc should be enough for you as it will run using the AUX VTR.

Mechanic at the compliance workshop told me that straight off the bat when he turned it on it picked up Channel 10

Only other question is about FM Expanders, is there one I can buy that means I don't have to lose half of the Australian radio stations? (eg: having 89 - 104, or 94 - 108)

I haven't bought one yet as don't use the radio as much but will update you if I do.

Also the HDD should come with all the cables etc (it will slot into a larger unit which is what you use to plug to the compute to transfer data.. I haven't got the USB cable yet but not really in a rush.. mine came with a bunch of Japanese gangsta rap.. I"m not kidding about that lol)

Hope that is enough to get you started. :action-smiley-069:

For some reason could not edit my post, I meant Tuner in the boot, not reciever. The Usb input for the HDD is a cable for it is a USB A to USB A which I will Ebay or Jaycar it. If you get the whole package sent, you will get a HDD reader which requires power and USB.

Most TV tuners out of Japan won't pick up any/all Aust channels. You may be lucky with yours tho. Have a play when you get it & let us know the result.

If it doesn't work properly & you want TV in your V, I have another batch of tuners arriving next week which also have input for reverse camera, USB & SD card slots & outputs to 3 screens.

Cheers, Leon.

Well looks like I didn't get the hard drive caddy :(

is it just a standard hard drive in a caddy?

Also,

Sometimes the screen will pop out and sometimes not... is there a trick to that?

Thanks for your help!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
