You would need to change buttons as well there are harness differences as well. Yes the screen will swap , radio will partially swap. Buttons will swap and that's it.

JDM has extra stuff for etc and TV that will be left unconnected.

exactly.

I had people willing to do that with the V36 BUT only the master controller. lots more needs to swap and when you start adding it up it gets into 5 figures very quickly.

Hi there,

I have been actively trying to source the HDD files (app.bin to be specific) so we can proceed to create a software conversion.

I tried posting on GT-R life as it looks like a few members have the appropriate files but looks like the moderators are blocking my posts for this for whatever reason.

Anyway, we have successfully created conversions for Mitsubishi's, Honda's, Mazda's and are working on many more so I can guarantee a conversion if someone could help supply the files from the HDD :)

Thanks in advance

Interesting! This company mentioned they can do something about the 2007~2009 MFD upgrade to 2014 version! Does it mean they can convert Japanese to English!

So far I did brought the old unit and turn out it is not function properly! Learnt a lesson! wasting $$$$$$$.

They have got around this issue you can swap out the whole MFD now. There is multiple threads and reveiws over on gtrhertiage.com detailing the process.

From what I have seen, this option costs around the 3-5k (NZD) mark - has a cheaper, more realistic option been developed?

This is the cheapest, most realistic option. It will cost around $2200 AUD for the unit and then you will need to buy some parts and panels from Nissan to change your older interior parts to make it all fit 100% like OEM.

This is the unit for sale. Trusted seller.

I have jacked up a JDM GTR to come visit in the next couple of weeks - From there we will take the necessary info and start work on creating a software conversion for this, local maps will be on cards too..

If I owned a GTR I would think $2200AUD was a little extreme (no offence) regardless of whether it was the only option or not - Cant give a timeframe for this but it will happen and with a lot less effort required..

I tried sourcing the JDM firmware but on every site it seemed to have disappeared.. this would have sped the process up if I could have found it but option b it is :rolleyes:

P.S. If someone has done a hardware swap and wants to donate (sell) their JDM unit then please let me know :)

After a major service of my car last week! Enhanced the existing GR6 gearbox with an addition of Japanese made Gearbox Gear-Lock Set, replaced all gearbox sensors and replaced a new flywheel housing, replaced radiator fans, oil pump, keyless go key lock system and ordered a list of 2013 model upgrade parts which include suspension set, front A-arms, anti-roll bars, new set of tyres and battery. Well sounds good ah, but a throat cutting spendings! :unsure:

Didn't touch the car for a week! Yesterday! The car didn't response my car key and found out old battery no power, therefore, recharging the battery and start the car again! Alarm noise and the dash board just like Christmas tree lights up and brinks! Wow! heard electric shocking noise then the car shout down itself! :/ I restart the car again and engine run and the car go back to normal but the AUDIO & REAR VIEW CAM die! :rant:

RUN OUT OF CAR ALLOWANCE (CASH)! Now its time really going to get an English System! Hope I don't need to go back to the keep failing Japanese system!

Yes! Current imported used 07 & 08 JDM GTR are cheap! But, no free dinner! Very easy getting a dodge cars!

First seen one last week in Hong Kong! Straight from cargo container! Jack up in garage and first seen the trans-axle joint didn't fix tight and very loosen! One remote control key not working! Radiator fans broken! Old dusty interior! Scratched alloy wheels! Battery, tyres, brake discs, brake pads and Suspensions need replacement! Very sure gearbox and other major unseen parts were swapped in Japan and need to replace! The seller only pays cheap to do a make-up job and sell for around AUD$85,000.00! So, why buy old private import GTR if you can afford to buy genuine GTR from showroom!

In Hong Kong, we've seen few dodge GTR! Thus, we only buy or sell between known people!

Any replacement and upgrade works done to a dodge GTR just like throwing money into a wormhole! Never end! Very unenjoyable experience with GTR!

I'm in, and have been talking to the very humble Lithuanian gentleman who is responsible - only thing now holding me back are the blasted New Zealand Nissan Connect Maps, apparently they need to be HDD V9.0 and the entire thing would be fully upgraded to NZ New 2014 Spec.

Anyone now where/how I could get my hands on the maps?

From what I have seen, this option costs around the 3-5k (NZD) mark - has a cheaper, more realistic option been developed?

Last year the Japanese version audio head unit hard disk finally burnt! 

A week of delivery! Yesterday! I successfully converting my JDM 2007 R35 GTR existing Japanese MFD master assembly (Audio Head Unit) to current USA English system. There are some modification (which I don't know and don't understand at all) done! But it appear to me the diagnosis are all OK! And took us few hours to set the rear view CAM to activate. The English buttons can change no problem later and the English dashboard cluster are awaiting stock to come.

 

Total cost and labour approx. AUD$3,600.00

 

To complete the English buttons and dashboard cluster approx. AUD$1,200.00

 

Thank you everyone for reply and support.

We have completed conversions of R35 GTR Jap Spec to 2015 model R35 GTR MFD

We can also convert 2009-2010 Aussie Spec NON-NAV GTR to the 2015 R35 GTR with Nav, bluetooth, upgraded MFD etc. but also requires to send your buttons to get reprinted or converted to be able to use with the new systems.

And finally, if you want ENGLISH Instrument Cluster we are getting around this by using a EU Nismo Cluster (in KM/H AND ENGLISH) which last time i checked is around $2000 new + labour installation.

 

thanks

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
