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.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
