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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
