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

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
