Hey guys, my r34 has the pop up tv display unit in it which is really sweet. The only problem is, its in japanese. Does anyone know if there is a way to change it to English, ive disconnected it for now. If not are their alternative solutions?

Been looking everywhere, and asking everyone but they have no idea, they only recommend to put a reversing cam in instead.

Keen for some help or alternative options

Thanks!

Sabrina :)

yes I havent seen it done but Brad in SA can do some cars

jap to english conversion

My car had it but I dumped the whole lot and did aftermarket stuff, and made the TV pod look and stay up like a GTR. only in carbon fiber now. has a 8" hi res TV now with 4 channels of input and video amp.

the pod actually sits lower then the factory pop up and uses the lid and frame as a surround . the factory one is junk, most die from bad solder joints.

another option is use it for the input , the metal box behind the carpet in the boot on the passenger side rear seat area has inputs for audio/video. the other box leave alone or your car will malfunction. and the one on the other side as well.

There definitely are options, they are very expensive however. I had all of my gear ripped out an replaced with an aftermarket screen that replaced the factory unit, a DVD player, GPS unit and I have a third input free for further uses (not sure what I'll use it for yet, probably a HKS Camp 2). Folds out of the top of the dash just like the factory unit, all neat an tidy. Cost several thousand however.

Where abouts are you located? I can suggest a great guy to talk to about options if you are in Brisbane.

Contact Audio Express for information. Very expensive way of doing things, you will be much better off going with a double DINN DVD player/GPS unit and the standard triple gauges. I went down the factory looking route because I'm a little pedantic about things looking as stock as possible.

Thanks so much for your reply!

Its been a while since ive been on here, but still no change! Im half tempted to ring everyone if they know the conversion or just to remove it

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
