V35/v36 Japanese To English Conversion


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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. :)

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.

    • Euros are shitboxes man. My next car going to be a Lexus or Hyundai.
    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.
