V35

All computers apart from the ones with Bluetooth

Hey guys!

So, I've been doing so research on and off the internet regarding the V35 and came across someone who is willing to do the Japanese to English conversion. I've seen the menu's in person as well!

His name is Alex from Nagoya Motors in Caringbah, Sydney, NSW. Tell him Vik sent you and he will take care of it. Also, you will need to leave the car with him for about 4 hours, and he will give you a loan car as well!

0422 524 277

I messaged him this morning to confirm the price and $550 is what he confirmed. [emoji16] Hope this helps!post-46821-14350976963785_thumb.jpg

There's apparently a guy in Akl that can do this as well, but it didn't att NZ maps, and the price was about 50% more than your suggestion there.

I am in Christchurch so would be very happy if there was someone down here that could do it for ~$700NZD (including nav)

Cheers - N

he can, last time i checked it was 2-2.5k for a full English + AUS maps conversion

I think that was for the russian guys. I just texted Alex and he said he is still trying to come up with something for the 2007-2009 cars which will require some hardware changes. At this point of time he doesn't know how much it'll cost or when they will have a product.

Contacted him as well. For a V36 2010+ model, cost of conversion is $2200 GST inclusive. If you can't bring the car in, he said: we can remove and send the navigation block to him and he will send it back the next business day. Very tempting !

personally i don't think the price is outrageous

it's like adding sat-nav to a brand new car (give or take few hundred bucks)

i just happened to purchase a 370GT pre-installed instead of the 350GT still in japanese

I dont think its outrageous but I didnt install it on mine when the guys from Xanavi came to WA cause I hardly ever use sat-nav. Very worth while for the V36 Gen 1 guys since they will swap the screen and back end to the newer hardware too

Alex shouldnt be charging 550 for v35. That is a rip off. We set it up to help people not take advantage of them.

P.S we all work for the same Russian

Sounds very much like this is a well understood process now, but that it requires some special tools (I presume a consult 3+ or similar) and a unicorn horn image/DVD...

Do you gents know of anyone in NZ doing the same thing apart from the one guy in Auckland that wanted $1000NZD to convert a J50 Crossover (2010 V36 equivalent with USB not CF card). I presume he's using the Aussie image since he said the NAV didn't work for NZ.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
