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.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
