Okay so I've read through all of this, I'll be test driving a V36 350GT SP in the next few days as I'm in the market for a new car,

Just to confirm everything...

What doesn't work is Navigation, some bluetooth devices, TV and Radio (unless with a band expander)

The rest of the features work but are in Japanese

And one day down the line when I win the lottery I can convert it using Infiniti G37 parts for about 10K

Did I get everything right?

I'll have more info once I test drive anyway

EDIT:

But how did this happen? I thought GPS could be installed extra but the menus still be in Jap but this one seems to have both AUS GPS and English menus.

There is. Russian fellow in Sydney that I suspect has gotten his hands on the local firmware update. I have seen one here in Brisbane and I was impressed. Only letdown are the buttons. They have stickers on them.

Local dealer has the car so I did not get much time to play with it.

I've had my 370 GT since 2008, I brought it because it is a great GT car. The only things that I have done is fit a Garmin integral nav system, a good fm band expander and a Canadian spec dash cluster (I was in Canada so it was easy). the rest of the stuff does not bother me. there is a good tranlastion i got of the net that helps with the rest of the stuf I may need. Like I said I brought the car to drive not fiddle with electronics, Just buy a 370 GT and enjoy the driving experence, just my opinion :D

test drove the v36 350gt today and will be test driving another one tomorrow and i must say they are amazing

perfect balance between performance and luxury and not too thirsty, been told 10-11L per 100km? Like any other v6 probably end up 15L or more if thrash but it could go under 10L if you baby it?

i'll see what this other guy says about an english conversion but i was quoted 2.5k for english + gps today

So I've spoken to the guy that does the conversion.

$2,500 plus GST for the conversion. Includes all replacement parts etc.

For pre 2010 models they require the physical car and post 2010 they can do it without the car, just require the navi block.

$2500 seems pretty standard when adding GPS as an option in new cars, so $2500 including labour (possibly warranty too) seems like a good deal to me.

The guy actually offered me $1900 for the install if I purchase the car, so I'm pretty sold but will have to see one last car before I confirm my buy.

There is a video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vN9BxqLivqA. The gay says they replaced the head unit.

Wow I love the USB port in the console omg!!!! Phaaark I want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$2.5k, I'd almost make the drive from Adelaide for that

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
