Worth a thought , but i'm too old to be doing that , back in my r34 days yeah but in the v36 i'm not sure if it suits it.

No worries. You are now in the naughty corner and will not get any more help from anyone on the whole internet as a result of your choice. I dont make the rules so don't blame me.

Nick - No need to bite mate , i converted it about 2 weeks ago , but the GPS was acting up so i opened it up again and thats when the relay gave up on me , but now all its working.

 

Ben - Happy to be in the no hooning naughty corner but can yo at least not take away my support , its rough trying to work on this imports ..

 

 

Its the Xnavi unit from eBay , the guy selling it was really good her give a few directions and i figured it out after that , it took me about 2 hours to fit it properly and get it started.

I left the buttons in Japanese , since its not that heard to figure out what each one does  and it still leaves it with the JDM look , the only thing i wasn't able to connect with the wing mirror camera and the voice control  but the rest works.

I'm happy to help people with some guidance if they buy this unit on how its installed. 

Max , the conversion harness does come with connection to the side camera but i just don't have the energy to run more cables though the car , plus i only have the v36 for another 2 months then i'll be selling it when the new car arrives .     I still have the old unit actual i have 2 of them now since i wasn't sure what was wrong with it when it switched off i had to buy the full set from a spare parts place , so now i have a spare box and the top cover and switches.

Mate the unit was for sale on USA ebay 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/172513428008

It comes posted Estonia so it can take a 3-4 weeks to be delivered and they don't seem to have many in stock. ( I think 3 left online at the moment) 

You will need to send pictures of you current unit in operation (screen) from my understanding that some units need a monitor as well and others just need the box.

It does cost around $990 US plus $50 delivery , so you are looking at around $1400 aus . ( My guess is the prices people quote around $2500 for conversion in Australia would be the unit maybe also the monitor , a couple of hours of work installing it plus markup for the installer ) 

It does take a bit of work getting it installed since the box it replaces does have slightly  different connections but the harness provided does help it and the seller does answer any questions you have on how to install the unit.

Hope this helps you with your conversion.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
