Unfortunately for most of us, those people that know how to do the software upgrade are keeping it well and truly secret. If you're not lucky enough to live close enough to one of the select few people that know the secret (and are making the service available for the thick end of $1000-$1500) there seems to be no option to get the conversion done.

Sad but true at this stage.

Does anyone know more detail about what is required or what the process is in order to have the V36 English conversion done if we are not able to take the car to them in NZ?

The guys at Synergy Motorsports Adelaide, on Main North Rd are doing the V36.

I went in today and got my Radio band expander done, and ask them about it. About $2000-$2500.

I went and had alook at one finished. We won't get all options like "no voice activation" "no Carwings"

I'm saving my pennies

Thanks for the info Paul, not sure that I'm really that interested at that price, but it's good to know they are apparently doing it here though.. but I would rather bags lol. I know how to navigate through the menus enough to use the features available to us here and Adelaide's not big enough to need a nav system. Kind of like the authenticity of the jap too haha.

Agreed, I have no interest in basterdising the 'Japanese culture' of my V36 Skyline. :yes:

With all the resources available, if you can't work it out - then it's not for you. :domokun:

After road testing the screen mirroring of my phone to the auxiliary input via the Mirrorlink adapter I mentioned before, though it's fuzzy as composite video can be, it's still perfectly usable and so my GPS issue is resolved. Love the Japanese feel of this car. :)

Hi,

I'm looking for someone that can do this English conversion for a Nissan skyline 370gt 2009 with Bose system and Nav in New Zealand?

or some information on parts required and what is involved firmware etc.

also is there a way to change the speedo cluster to English?

How is it done. I mean not the process. Do you need the whole vehicle or can these units be removed and sent to be converted. Can the cluster be done as well??

They remove the parts they need then send them away to be converted. you can keep driving your car.

Replace the cluster. I heard the ones from Canada have the Km dial

Has anybody tried replacing the navi unit with an Android based alternative?  I have seen several product which claim to have the correct plugs and adapters for Nissans, and appear to have all the required inputs and outputs.  For $300 to $400 it seems this would be a great alternative as maps and other apps would be so simple to install.

e.g.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
