I spoke to the Russian today and he said that even thou it is a costly exercise he is working on a cheaper solution. He said I needed advanced soldering skills for the current option and its exspensive to buy equipment to do it.

I must say the English head unit is working great

GPS maps work great, good voice nav, all menus are English, bluetooth is good, pretty much full functionality except for the weather and traffic info and TV but I've been told I can fit a DTV tuner. USB cable in the glove connects to iPods etc to be displayed on the screen, very quick, no lag

Stickers for buttons are a bit tacky but from a distance looks almost stock

Would highly recommend if you have money to blow

What about the newer model?

Is it the same process?

Aren't 2010+ models easier?

From my conversation with him, it looks like he is charging the same amount but I think there is much less work. Something about him needing the nav deck n changing something in there. I'm not too sure.

Good to hear! I was thinking about getting a V36 after I wrote off my R33, but the non-English headunit has put me off a little. Sounds like it's less of a mind f**k now :)

What are the contact/business details?

Wonder if he'd want to fly to Adelaide for a weekend :P

Hi

How can i get in touch with this guy? I have a 370GT 2010 model and my friend has the 2010 model. I would be very interested to convert our cars.

Any help would be appreciated.

You cant, He all ready has someone in Sydney doing the conversions for him. He was just trying to come up with a better solution that may be cheaper.

I was told its exspensive to set up the gear to do it. Hence why only Sydney do it. They have a bigger market.

ROAD TRIP!!!!! :)

Really? I must have a freak unit then because I can play all regions and it continues to operate even while driving. I have checked the wiring while I was upgrading my sound system and there weren't any signs of any modification - at least, not externally.

I still haven't pulled my finger out and tried my Mirrorlink device via the AV inputs to see if I can mirror my phone's screen on the in-vehicle LCD but after experimenting with it on my TV, it looks passable and I think I might get away with it after all in the car. I'll give it a crack tomorrow and see if it works or not.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
