V36 Nav And Language Swap - Faq

So, I was quoted $1600NZD+gst to change my Skyline crossover (370GT) system across to english, with everything working (except TV - of course) and NZ maps. This is from a guy in Auckland that seems to know what he is speaking about but I'm unclear if it's a hardware and software swap, or if it's just a software hack.

If it's a true new unit (and they don't want the old unit as part exchange in that cost) then I'd consider it... If it's just software then I think it's a bit rich. (I would BTW pay probably up to $750, maybe a grand, if it was purely a software update).

I'll think about it for a few days first. $1600 is a lot of money that I could have a lot of fun with elsewhere :-)

Cheers - N

further point on this for those that insist on asking about fixing the nav/language (even though I have already said no several times ..) from the 2013 local infiniti you will need: front panel,

Update: My auto sparky let me down, so Chris Rogers stepped in (thanks Chris). After trying a straight swap where (as I remember) all the connections fitted, it wouldn't boot up/switch on. Everything fitted perfectly :-( So Chris has done some research and it appears that my kit is from a 2010 AU Infiniti and has a different bus speed to my 2009 370GT. So it won't work. The good news for all you guys with a 2010 model is...it's a straight swap. Thanks Chris for trying. And thanks for the number of the guy who have made me an offer to purchase the kit off me. As soon as I'm back home (working away right now) I'll call him. So gutted!!! Back to the drawing board and interested in any info on this software upgrade available. Thanks everyone.

Yeah - the auction links expire... He still has the car for sale and now has performed the conversion on the car and has included screenshots of the english language system, including a shot of part of the Nav!

Some time ago I spoke to a laser etching place in the Brisbane area the idea being to remove black paint on existing buttons (either sand it down or remove with acetone) spray black dash paint over the top of existing buttons then re-etch English words over the top in matching font. I Never got around to doing it to see how well it would turn out, but the place said indicated it would work quite well.

What exactly can you use on these systems as they roll of the boat???

I realise that all the buttons and menus are in japanese but can you even use the fm radio??

I have an 09 370gt sp and the FM works up to 89 which works on a couple of stations here in Cairns, also the TV tuner seems to pick up a station quite clearly but is audio only the picture is pure static. As far as bluetooth goes I have an old school nokia N900 that the car pairs up to very nicely.

You guys think this will work on JDM V36?

I love my v35 and the fact that i was able to put in an aftermarket stereo. Doesn't seem to be much aftermarket options for the V36 due to everything being integrated.

As usual, the switch gear looks horrible... But to be able to fit a modern double din head unit would be awesome...

However, I am guessing it won't play nice with JDM, especially when most of us have JDM OEM Nav... :rofl2:

Talk to Chris Rogers. I just fitted a fully functioning AU Infiniti system from the wreckers. Blu Tooth, USB, Sat Nav etc, etc. Also swapped out the dash cluster for English (2014 colours). SOrted. The car feels so much more that it did!!! Photos on his Facebook page. I think I may be the 1st in Aus to do this!!! :nyaanyaa:

Hi Space-Man, does the mirror camera still work with the AU infiniti system?

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
