When i checked out my car at the compliance workshop, i was surprised that my headunit and sat nav TV hadnt been stolen on the way to aus...but it was still there!

i switched it on and it starts up, passes the panasonic main screen and gets to a screen with a few lines of jap writing...

when i took the CD out of the back , it stops at the panasonic main screen.

I was wondering if there are CD's that you can buy in australia just on their own...sat nav CD's...and if i bought 1, would it make the sat nav work here?

if so, where from and rough price?

thanks

one word, torrent.

I have an alpine nav unit in my car and just downloaded the north american version of software, burnt it, it works.

give it a search and see if you can find something online to d/l

thanks mate, ill give that a go.

another thing i was thinking, is that im pretty sure the screen is NTSC, so buying an aus sat nav CD here would probably be no good, as it'd be in PAL format....

downloading sounds the best option, so hopefully i can find something

EDIT

didnt have any luck on the torrents...could only find north america, and europe :starwars:

the software isnt screen format dependent. try contacting panasonic firs then give the whereis people a call. the maps are $390 for the blau version that I have ( just bought a new map for mine.)

got an email back from panasonic australia...telling me they dont make the CD's for sat nav etc, and that ill need to contact japan panasonic....

sounds easy enough....its not.

i tried with the link to panasonic japan they gave me, and it is impossible to just get an email to ask someone a question!

yep that was the original plan, and sell it on ebay for whatever someone will pay ;)

but then i thought maybe i can use the sat nav...and just install the rest of my system that i have waiting here....its not looking good for the sat nav though unfortunately

yeh its sucks coz the sat nave was actually working. like it had a digital speedo, odometer and stuff on it. and it was tracking my car.... i was moving along on the map... but it was a japanese map so i was driving over oecans most of the time...

u could always try hooking up an xbox or something to it.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
