Hi Everyone and Australia R35 GTR owners,

I stationed in Hong Kong now days and used to drive BCNR33 GTR for a very long time! It such a nice car with raw feeling and spent me a lot of money and time overhaul the car from 5 speeds to 6 speeds; from 2.6L to Tomei 2.8L with a pair of Arms B7660 turbos; HKS V-cam pro and as many as Nismo parts and accessories that can fitted into the car etc etc etc....... but due to currently Police start heavily catching illegal modified cars for inspection. I am targeted few times already and each inspection caused me money and time to rectify it back to original condition for inspection ie. removal of 6 ports brakes and suspension kits and exhaust system back to factory condition! Once in a year still acceptable but twice and three times a year is pain in the ass! Finally, a friend of mine need a race car for track day and get a good deal swapping to a tidy and clean used JDM R35 GTR (reasonable price)!

The R35 GTR are trouble free passing every police road blocks.......

The JDM R35 GTR are everything in Japanese and so far I know converting JDM to English is very much impossible. Or in other words require spending unreasonable amount of money buying certain English display parts and accessories to TRY make it English even not 100% sure working or not?

Can anyone furnish me a genuine Australian imported R35 GTR chassis no. (vin no.) which I can use as reference for order Australian specified parts and accessories. If I could get it done and I will post of works details for everyone reference.

Cheers

I tried! They won't help! In fact they ask me to get a ADM GTR chassis no. to confirm the parts no. number instead!

or else just walk into any Australia Nissan showroom where the R35 can be found and take a picture of a chassis no. !

#5 My GTR is 2007 year model

I want to replace the following items :-

1) The dashboard display gauges cluster to English system.

2) The centre console MFD buttons and switches to English characters.

3) The MFD display and the Audio/Video console replace to English system. ( saw the Signapore GTR forum that they tried to replace a hard-disk system and copy all english files to the new hard-disk but proof not working)

So far there are no professional racing companies had issue any system that can do the similar job, and I am sure there must be a way or know how to simply replace the above Item 1 and 2 and some modification done to item 3 will convert form Japanese to English. But up to date no one had any solution! Only some (no people done yet) suggestion saying there may be a chance to directly replace the above items and some related parts and accessories hope that it will work!

If I should have buy the items at least I need ADM GTR part list first ! :yucky: If you have any idea! Please help! :yes:

Learn Japanese :rolleyes: This is the first reminder the seller told me before buying his car! Convert to English is ASS Itchy interest! Want to make some contribution to all outside Japan ADM GTR owners! If there are no know-how yet! At least, by directly swap replacement to English parts can proof it works or not!

Please, anyone here have any information! Know How just post it here and I will periodically follow up until get it done.

not listening are you?

AUDM car up to 2010 is analog video - JDM has been digital video from inception. there is a body harness change right there.

JDM has TV and traffic announce channel. AUDM does not. that is a panel change,harness change and unit change.

none of the harness lines up at all.

now for doing the firmware - the JDM box will need a reflash, custom code written to account for the differences in addressing of the extra components and then the local maps done and that software engine changed as well.

would you like me to keep going?

#12 You are expert, I start to understand a tiny thing from now! The ADM 2007~2010 are analogue system whereas the JDM 2007~200X are digital system and the body harness is different and not just simply replace the switches and main unit will get it work! Despite from this the JDM so far had no people able to heck or have any softwares to change it from Japanese to English! So what you mean if swap and replace the hardware from current English GTR to early ADM GTR require a lot of works to be done!

Anyway, you've give us a great information to start with.

I obtained one 2014 genuine AUDM R35 GTR VIN.no. :yes: ! Better than nothing to start with....... 0.01% chance now! :cheers:

G'day mate,

I am in Hong Kong as well, with JDM , stopped trying to do what you are attempting to do, long time ago. There is no cure, no help from Nissan at all and as previous posts state, much cheaper and faster to learn Japanese than do a conversion like this.

Do keep us updated on any success.

Cheers

#16 Good day mate,

Currently very busy with my business and no time think about this! I did one BCNR33 overhaul in HK few years ago! Took me a lot of money and time but successfully goal achieved!

This time I will get all comments and quotation from everywhere first! Try to find a reasonable root to the answer! The guy from T & S Auto in To Ka Wan will help me doing the work! I am still talking to an computer engineer and car Hi-Fi technician to joint this project!

Hope will final a solution later!

Is it possible to change the whole MFD master assembly for a 2011 onwards JDM to a MY12 ADM R35 without problems? I undestand both are digital output and the MFD harnesses appear similar. Changing the external buttons is of less concern. Thanks in advance.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
