Hi All,

New member of SAU! Iv been watching this forum for years, now I finally have a M35!

Just got my fresh m35 import, completely stock...... including the Stereo, sat-nav and TV.

Question is: Non of this work in Aus! only Japan. Is there an easy solution to get these 3 working?

or is it as hard as I read everywhere?..... e.g. someone has to do a group buy for Digital TV converters, need to drive to Sydney to get someone to change language, and god know how to do the sat nav!

Also hoping that the glovebox dvd player can be strait swaped for a media player of some sort that does MP3's, AVI's, DivX, Ipod etc

Really hoping I can do one day trip to someone and they can do all this?

Thanks an advance for any advice! ;)

James

Hi James.

People are really happy to help around here if you do a search first, as this has been covered a lot. But here goes...

Sat nav won't work. The end. You need an Australian map disk that doesn't exist apparently.

You can translate the screen to English. Visit www.xanavi.com.au to find someone near you (you don't say where you're from?).

You can run TV. There are a few tuners available. PM Commsman (Leon) and see if he has any left, otherwise the Xanavi translaters might have one.

The glovebox DVD player is required to run the sat-nav, screen, etc. Not sure if it can be removed and you still output to the screen?

Best bet is to replace your head unit with something that does MP3s, AVIs, DivX, iPod, etc.

Ok after much searching around for information iv found:

You can buy "Car TV Tuners" on ebay that are perfect (just brought 1 for $114 ) this also player media via a usb (avi,mp4, mp3,mkv etc)

The "DVD player" in the M35 stagea is NOT a DVD Player but a DVD-ROM and does absolutely nothing in Australia"

This is the toughest car iv ever had to sort out a stereo/media for..... still open for suggestions

Untrue. The DVD-ROM is the brains of your pop up screen.

Remove the DVD-ROM and your popup screen will not display the trip/fuel/servicing etc info

You can get these translated to English but you still need to retain the DVD-ROM.

Of course if you don't want any of that stuff, just rip it all out. Don't stuff it though as I reckon you'd be able to resell it.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
