Japan uses analogue TV signals which are not used in Australia anymore. We use DVT-B signal so you would need to install a Digital TV Tuner into your car via Video put on console.

i believe this is from what Chris Rogers has said previously: "There are no maps for this unit used in the Australian market. You can install a aftermarket navigation unit to the factory radio via Video input however the touch screen feature wont work (as of now)"

Someone also mentioned to me the format the maps are loaded into the cars are NTSC/PAL (one or the other) and australian maps are only the other kind.

one of the stickied threads goes through this and much more. use google to search SAU.

I guess doing a little homework here on this site is a very rude expectation.

Updates (as in English conversions) - information is here (second from the top of the thread list): http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421465-v36-nav-and-language-swap-faq/

and if you used the search box in the top right corner just using the letters "TV", here: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/436316-japanese-to-english-conversion-for-v36-oem-swap/

In short, language conversion is difficult and expensive. TV conversion is not feasible, better to consider an external unit plugged into the car's AV sockets in the centre console.

For the rest, do some searching and reading like the rest of us. It's not as difficult as the conversions. ;)

More accurately, Japan decommissioned analogue in March 2012, so any vehicle manufactured up until then (if not slightly earlier), would have an analogue tuner.

Thereafter, I'd expect them to have DVB-T receivers but nevertheless, the colour system that Japan uses is completely different to Australia (NTSC vs PAL) so even if it did receive our channels, there's the possibility that the receiver doesn't function as a multistandard unit anyway. It's not an expensive exercise to make it multisystem but we're talking about motor vehicle manufacturers here. :/

Nonetheless, your recommendation is the best one but I don't watch any FTA TV at home, so I'm happy just screen mirroring from my mobile phone instead for the GPS or the occasional live webstream.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
