I own a 04 V35 skyline..

I have had the screen converted to English..cost $180 which is Steep after having it done for what your going to use is for is pretty expensive..

Although I do like the fact I can change my service interval dates(once a year..)

I figured seeing as though I have had that done i am in the process of getting my iphone working through the Jap tv tuner in next couple of weeks through Simon In Brisbane..

I will be doing the band expander shortly. Im looking at only 2 types i can find on ebay.

One swears 18MHZ is the best way to go but only has a positive wire and the other shows it has a neg and positive feed which will

STOP the humming sound...

Anyone have much advice which to go for??

Regarding SAT Nav . Although im not too bothered going to the expensive efforts just for sat nav, i stumbled across this company below has managed to successfully use the original OEM Jap screen to uk maps and have hidden away a sat nav that can connect through the t.v screen...

possibly done for AU?

Well looking at the connections from jap tuner to 3x RCA outputs is an easy fix to get your ipod working on your TV. All you need then is 3 RCA to ipod cable.

JOB done..

I admit although IMO $180 is steep to get it into English its better for resale so I got it done. Only need the band expander fitted now.

$180 English conversion

$ 30-60 approx. for cables.

$ 15 FM band expander.

Still need the ipod dock for the ashtray...

Hi Chris, did you ever successfully change the sat nav to utilize the oem buttons (the ones that are in Japanese)? How close to having the whole system fully converted can you get? Is there anything that is not possible to convert? I think a 4 figure price is reasonable if it is comprehensive.

shelved the idea. I have the buttons mapped but due to lack of interest and everyone bitching about costs I left it be.

3 posts above is a prime example.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
