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 thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
