Are you in NZ? I am sure it can be done in Aussie as long as you are willing to pay big money for it. The closest I have seen in NZ is this add-on system that you can find on trademe but it's costs $1600 to install plus another $200 if you want usb connection!

Sounds abit too much in my opinion.

Hi,

How are you doing?
May we know if you have a plan to change your Japanese navigation unit now?

this looks like the add on boxes out of china. so its not a fully integrated solution by the look of it.

the later cars need a main controller and buttons from a Q60. job done.

Yeah you can see in the photos its running Android (which is pretty cool in its own right), probably with a hardware screen overlay to intercept screen touch

Hi guys, 

I'm looking to buy a 2008 nissan skyline 370gt v36. It's an import with navigation system and stuff in Japanese. That's fine, but since I have never owned an import car before, I would like to know if spares are readily available in WA? Or in the eastern states? Anyone does language conversion in WA? I've read about xanavi but is it worth it?  I'm getting an inspection report done as well. Anything I should keep in mind when I go have a second look and drive? Your advice and help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks.

I know the thread is old but If anyone is interested I live in Palmerston North New Zealand and can change the Instrument cluster from Japanese to English in about 1Hour for cheap but am yet to work on the media display (nav). Or if I'm busy there is this guy at https://www.navi-solutions.com/ who can do dash and nav systems.

Hi Chris, I'm not sure if you're still around, but I thought I'd try my luck! I also tried to message you, but I'm not sure that worked.

 

Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you, I'm sure you get hassled a lot about this stuff. I'm just 'getting my ducks in a row' before I import myself a 370GT from Japan (I'm a kiwi so it's not a huge drama luckily). I'm one of those OCD people who is relatively bothered by having a Japanese radio/cd/navi system, and usually sort this out on my vehicles as soon as I get them. I'm an electrical service tech (amongst other things) so am pretty handy with a multimeter etc. However, it looks like most of these cars are a bit of a step up in terms of radio/cd/navi system complexity, and level of integration into the vehicle. I know much of a difference actual experience with particular complex systems makes when carrying out work on them, and it sounds like you are one of the most experienced guys around when it comes to this particular topic. 

So I have scrounged around the internet and have come up with a few pearls of wisdom - mostly from you. These are:

(1) Cars with the basic (non navi system), like the car linked in the Trademe ad below, can be retro fitted with either a local market 370z system (box and keypad), or the same system (buttons reversed) from a USDM G37 (I have bookmarked the page where kindly provide the part numbers). This goes for early cars (2007 on), as well as later iterations.

(2) The other option is to buy a later car (can be navi or non-navi), and retrofit an equivalent system from a USDM Q60. 

My questions are:

-With regard to (1), do I have this correct?

-And with (2), are the later cars you refer to the 2010 and onward facelift versions (visually; a revised centre console and some interior material changes etc.), or some later version again, like after 2012 for instance. 

Thanks heaps for your help! :)

Kind regards, Claire

Hiya! I would definitely be keen on this too once I get a car over here from JPN :)

Hi Mantix,

 

I have a 370GT, do you still do this change from Japanese to English ?

Can you please advise, interested in getting that done.

Cheers

Also if you cant find these listed on ebay or their website is down,. Google Phoenix Automotive (in USA) And buy their "tesla Style screen" for G37. They work on RHD cars.

Those are your only options.

Cheers Dashyy,

i will hit these guys up.

On AliExpress there are a couple of companies selling a complete replacement for the center unit, with an Android media system in it.

I haven't tried one yet, they are designed for the Infiniti in the US, the only suggestions I have seen so far is that the side camera interface may have a different voltage.

    • 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
