Nissan Software/firmware Updates On The R35 ?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I had my GT-R in for its initial 2000km POS at the Dealer i purchased the car from, I asked them as part of the service if they check for any Software /Firmware updates on the Car's computers/ecu's etc.. The GT-R mechanic told me they have never done any Software updates since he has been servicing GT-R, which i thought sounded a little strange given updates applied on previous cars that i have owned in the last 10 years.

Does Nissan not release new SW Updates on the R35 ?

They don't even make Satnav map updates for the GTR since 2010, so there's no chance of this ever happening

+1 to Domino, grab a Cobb AP but kiss your Warranty good buy the moment you flash anything :(

Guys, thanks for the confirmation, given the amount of electronics in this car, amazing they havent updated the software / firmware as ongoing maintenance. Wardski, funny you mentioned about GPS updates, I asked the Dealer to check with Nissan Australia, answer back : " Nissan does not have any GPS updates available for my Car" . I asked two additional questions : 1. Does Nissan Aust. ever intend to provide GPS Map updates for the GT-R and 2. What is the level of the Map Updates for newly delivered 2013 GT-R's.. (are they using the same 2010 Maps?)

Mike..


A mate of mine with a 2012 has the exact same map version as my 2010... so.. All the ADM's have the same maps - I would even bet the 2013 as well. The last time that I asked my dealer which was September last year, the response was:

Hi Ward,

Regarding the Navteq maps, I have forwarded your request through to Nissan Customer Assistance as I have no current information available at present. At last enquiry NMC were trying to put a package together with there suppliers.

Regards,

Guys, a coupe of updates on the question of GPS MAP updates on our GT-R's. Dealer confirmed 1. Nissan Aust has told them they are soon to announce a MAP update for previous GT-R Models (Post April), 2. The Dealer confirmed the MAP version of their MY13 GT-R on their Showroom Floor is Map Version 11-12.. (My Sept 11 Build GT-R is Map Version 10-11) Lets hope that Nissan Delivers on this.. Mike..

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
