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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
