I received this reply today from Xanavi:

Thank you for choosing Xanavi products.

Your using Navigation is designed only for Japanese market, not operative in Australia.

Therefore, we're afraid that we don't have any user manual in English or amap of Australia.

This unit is not possible to be converted to English.

→ We're sorry we do not supply any specifications to our customers.

2.Do you have a manual for it in English?

I'm hoping that I can reprogram the EEPROM and convert all the buttons to English text. Anyone know anyone that can help me with that?

i could have anything japanese translated, just send me the text or photos. How will you go about converting the gps system ?

Will do - thanks. I've also got a friend who can translate, but it would be good to get it up here for everyone else.

It seems the GPS possibly can't be converted. I haven't played around too much with GPS / Navigation systems, but i think each navigation system is proprietary and given the Xanavi don't make maps for Australia, it will likely be impossible to convert. Perhaps the best bet would be to connect anoth GPS / Navigation system (TomTom, Navman etc) to the input of the screen...

Any other thoughts???

update, have bought a NTSC converter,

http://www.threedoubleyou.com/cdm660.htm

connected it after the 12v digital box, then into the VTR2 plug and have got an acceptable picture, actually quite a good picture, just need to hardwire everything in, with sound going straight from the STB into my LINE IN on my head unit. Had some trouble keeping the widescreen ratio, but eventually found the correct touchscreen button to change between ratios.

That is AWESOME. Nice work.

Have you got pics of the placement of your STB and Converter? Have you rewired the IR receiver for the STB to the console?

Have you got a seperate aftermarket head unit as well?

Got the IR sorted, just desoldered and extended the one on the STB, prob hide it inside a vent on the dash. Just going to drop them in the rear left 1/4 panel, prob just have them loose, wrapped in foam, they fit quite snug, but have to allow enough ventilation. Havnt been able to find a signal wire to turn the boxes on only when VTR2 is selected, so prob have them wired with ACC.

I've bought a new Head Unit DVD/Cd Player. I still have the original Pioneer Jap gear in there. The new head unit has a built in NTSC/PAL selector for output. I was wondering whether this would work if I hooked it up to the existing screen (I assume its an NTSC Screen).

Any ideas?

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
