Would the RACV check do the job? I think they have a more expensive option to put it up on a hoist.

I think I will get the last 1 and it has the same dash as the 2001 without the LCD sticking. But thats not the reason like this one better. Cheaper, Color, 10k less Kms, Rims.

Heres the pics

Damn, I didn't read your post Chris and put a $250 deposit on the 3rd Subject to a RACV and Finance. So I didn't check the seatbelts I bought it from a dude called Shui @ the former Kamakazi Motors. I will post some pics soon as I get damn bluetooth working. It seemed what I was looking for at the more right price...

Also there is this one , I am really excited about this one as its from a dealer 'Kamakaze Motors' http://firesport.com.au/2001-v35-skyline-c...s--ad142733.htm

Hi Chris, As per our phone conversation here are the 2 links of 2 cars I am interested in :- http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...35&trecs=36 The link above is the 2001 model which the LCD sticks and you need to tap the side of the unit to get the LCD up. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...35&trecs=36 The link above is the 2004 which I am unsure if it has the LCD screen at all, also I am unsure if it is the 4 or 5 speed. Let me know what you think ? Thanks

I'm in Melbourne and I don't really want to do any of this DIY. What I meant by 'stages' was I would like yourself or someone you recommend to install the complete setup in say 2 sessions so I may split the cost if its reasonable.

Hi All, About to purchase a V35 but the Pop-up LCD sticks when you try to raise the screen. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and was it a major job to finish. I know its not a biggy especially as I won't have the LCD operational for a little while but everything else on this car I like and if I can fix this issue easily, I would like to make the purchase

Chris, Would you send me some info on how I may complete what I want in a couple of stages so I don't have a huge outlay straight off eg. TV tuner & FM Band Expander first then the Nav install and Conversion when I have a bit more cash. You would be the one to know if its not worth the extra labour fee in having youself or somebody you recommend do 2 installs ? Thanks

No disrespect Chris, will call you tomorrow. I am only trying to complete what I want (Radio,TV,Sat Nav) In a couple of stages so I can spread out the cost......

I'm getting confused aswell , Were some later models say 2004 equipped with 5-Speed Auto's ? http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=124BC28C7B27 Or do these guys not know what they are talking about and how am I able to tell with a 4 minute test drive ( Just got my licence back so I will be in the passenger ) ?

All the cars I am looking at have the Bose setup so I am more than likely going to have to take the 'FM Band Expander' option. So roughly a FM Band Expander that has 10 & 20 mhz step down will cost me $60 - $80, How much do you think for the install ? I'm just trying to plan out in what order I am going to do this as it will be a little too much for me to have it all done at once. I probably will get the FM Band Expander and the Aus TV Tuner done first as I could probably get the installer do this at the one time. Jap to English Software - performed by you = $180 FM Band Expander $60 - $80. Asuka TV Tuner including antennas- $290 Adapting Leads from Chris - ? Installation of the Base Expander and Tv Tuner - ? ( I am hoping to have the above completed for around $750, let me know if you think different? ) I would then like to have a set of RCA's come up through to underneath the passengers seat to an RCA splitter with a switch or even 2 sets of RCA's as I believe the Asuka has 2 Aux inputs, so that I could plug in a cheap Sat Nav and a cheap DVD Player (with allows output into NTSC as I believe I need to use the factory screen) . ( I know this will be a bit messy and a bit of a pain to operate but it will get the jobs done untill, I can afford a Chris Rogers Sat Nav conversion ) Please let me know , what you think of my plan ? Also I cannot see why the complete conversion/install for TV/Sat Nav is around $3000 as I think I may have seen Chris mentioned, not doubting him as I think he is great but I must be leaving out something unless the navigation is the really tricky bit and costs over $2000 to convert/install + parts ? Thanks

What about listening to Australian Radio Stations ? Are you just using the Aus Tv Tuner or do you have some sort of Aus Adapter ? Thanks you have been great

Thanks for the link , Sorry I am unable to send a PM as I am new. When do you need payment for 1 of these units ? Any idea how much the leads cost through Chris Rogers and does that include the additional relay to power the antenna amplifiers ? Cheers

So how does the TV Remote control send a signal to the Aus TV Tuner in the boot ? Are you able to send me pictures of where the Aus TV Tuner and the Garmin Sat Nav sit in your car ? Thanks

Do you control the Aus TV tuner the same way as if you the Jap ie: through the original controls ? And how about the navigation unit I assume that is the glove box so the remote can send it a frequency ? Is it possible to plug a DVD Player & alternative Nav (which allows output display and audio) into Aux inputs on the Aus TV tuner if they have any ? I assume the factory V35's TV has only 1 aux. Sorry if some of my questions seem stupid...

Hey Chook, I am very interested in purchasing a unit from you with antennas. I am just purchasing the car this week. But what do I need to do to get this working ? I am not the greatest when it comes to car audio but I have some mates that know a little, so if its kind of straight forward ie: similar to Aus car media setup, they could probably help me out. Does anybody know whats the rough price on getting a Garmin or similar Navigation unit working on the existing screen ? As I have it software to change menus into English = $180 Asuka Digital TV Tuner with Antennas = $290 ( I believe this is SD is there a HD option, would it be worth it ? ) Installation of TV Tuner = ? Garmin Navigation Unit = ? Installation of Navigation System = ? English Control Buttons = ? If anyone could help me fill in the gaps above , I would be greatly appreciated , Sorry to sound tight but its been a big month...

Hi Rianto, About pickup a V35 shortly not sure if it will be a 2001 or a 2004. My eyes are now burning with the amount of reading I have done rearding the TV & Nav conversions, It looks like though you boys have figured it out, Great Work ! Just wondering on the cost involved a little confused, I read somewhere that it costs $200 to convert the Menus into English, $180 if you are a SAU member, Is this only for the labour ? Also I am assuming that conversion of the Nav and TV is not included in this price, How much to convert these aswell, also the price for the parts I will need (eg. Aus Digital TV Tuner, Aus Sat Nav etc.) I would like to have everything converted together if my budget allows. Good job o the Youtube Videos and looking forward to your reply. Happy New Year and its looking like a Good Year !
