V36 - Another Tv Tuner Question

Did anyone else have this installed in their V36? It looks like my car has an extra TV tuner already piggy backed of the factory one. Its a panasonic tu-dtv30-2. I even got the instruction manual and remote for it (all in japanese).

I know theres fat chance of it working in Australia but thought id ask before i replace it with an Asuka unit.

If theres a slight chance, i will find a Japanese person and get them to try and auto-tune it for me and see if it picks anything up. (i tried but the menu's are all in jap and cant figure it out)

Also, if i do get an Asuka (which is highly likely). Will the video work while car is in motion or do i need a cable or something?

thanks

I've got some Panasonic device installed in my v36 but I dont know what it is yet. I've got two thin black devices on both sides of my windshield and a sensor installed on my console obviously for some sort of remote that I dont have. i googled the part number of of those devices and it came up with some Jap page and appeared to be talking about digital antennas.

Its most likely NTSC formart anyway so you wont be able just to "tune" it to PAL. There will be some sort of conversion needed.

AFAIK, the v36 comes with a analogue tuner, which is now useless in japan, because they've switched off all the analogue transmissions and have gone to digital. The previous owner must've installed a digital tuner. Problem is, the tuners aren't compatible in Australia. AU uses DVB-T and japan uses isdb-t. You'll have to replace the whole unit to get it to work

Sounds like you may have the same unit as mine. Maybe nissan dealers in Japan offered customers a replacement digital tuner after the analogue stations were switched off.

Anyway sounds like its not going to work so im going to get new tuner soon. At least it should be a pretty easy install since some of the wiring is ready to go.

Yeah I thought thats where it would be but coulnt see anything. I dont know where else they would hide this thing.

Maybe its on either side of the spare wheel under the plastic.. Or its possible they took it out?

Does your I/R remote sensor have a little red power light on it when the cars on?

Man I can't find this thing, checked under the plastics in the boot, all I found was a beige coloured box that had a Nissan logo on it but I dont think it has anything to do with the Panasonic tuner. Not in the glove box. Where else could they put it?

Follow the cable trail from the antennas..

I ordered the zylux thing today from jb Hifi.. Got it for $430 in the end. Found out there cost price is $349 so if you feel like bargaining you could probably pick it up for under 400..

Picked it up today. They sent me the wrong one! Its the non high definition model. :(

Pissed off because i cant be bothered waiting another week for them to send the right one. Also the price is apparently the same so cant get a credit for the difference and keep the SD one.

I'll probably just install this one. Just means i wont have the HD channels.

I ended up installing the new tuner yesterday. Took a few pics along the way.

used the same mounting bracket from the panasonic.

Antennas are mounted at the top of the back and front windows just under the roof lining so you cant even see them.

Everything works great, even "drive in motion" works. All i did was gound the handbrake cable. I thought it was going to be a quick install because I could use the existing cables from the old tuner. It still took a good 4 hours by the time i removed the old antennas and everything. My back is not a happy chappy!

so good to see things in english.

So its operated from the remote, which makes the steering wheel and dash controls obsolete?

Yep, but i only plan to use the tuner for TV or movies. You can still use the volume up/down on the steering wheel, but to change channels you will need the remote.

For music i want to use the music box anyway.

Would be cool to get the touch screen working for the tuner! Im guessing thats either not easy or impossible. anyone know?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
