Has anyone manage to locate an ISO of the NAV DVD?

I'm interested in activating this voice on my premium model series 1 cpv35.

If you upload sound recordings I can translate what is being said, to help figure out what alerts are available.

It might already be available in the Japanese workshop manual. Is this also available online?

Just confirmed, watched a video of a Toyota Mark II (which happened to have an ETC reader)... and sure enough the same Japanese voice and words... Panasonic ETC reader.

I would like to hear this 'other' Japanese voice that people are hearing in their V35's eg: Low Fuel...

Finally got it to work, turns out you have to sign up, the translation wasn't clear on that. Made another email address for it and signed up. I have the torrent file downloaded if anyone wants it. It's about 8gb, going to start it when I get home. Hopefully it has enough seeders.

I'll go for pic 2 as well. This is good thread.
Had car 6 years, never had sat nav work, and definitely no voices (may be in my head - but not japanese....)

If it's not too much trouble, the torrent/cd would be great.

So finally got the DVD burnt and booted it up. I can confirm now that the all the voice files are on the DVD.

I have been able to get the voice to happen three different ways. Firstly you can spam and error by pressing the ガイド button (translates to guide, appears as voice on english buttons). It says it a little fast for me to catch it but she is asking a question from what i can hear with a kudasai (please) at the end, It's fun to spam this button. the second way is to go into the ETC card settings and try to set up the card. I'm pretty sure she says "ETCカードを挿入してください/ ETC kaado o soonyuu shite kudasai" which translates to "Please insert ETC card". The third way happens completely at random. Because the map is japan only obviously you will not line up with the roads and will appear to the floating around. Every now and then it will attach you to a road and she will attempt to give you directions if you have a destination set.

Another funny little thing I found is that the map shows buddhist temples in the area. Now if you are not familiar with Japanese culture you will be confused by all the swastikas all over the place. No you are not driving through Nazi Germany.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
