Does anyone know if the tv navigation system that sometimes comes installed in imported skylines is any use here in australia? Am I just able to buy a cd/dvd with a map of australia and use it ? If its incompatible can I at least use the lcd and hook it up to a dvd player?

Any help would be appreciated.

well for my panasonic one theres a input box sitting under the passenger seat, its got 4 sets of AV inputs so you can hook up portable dvd player etc..

im pretty sure jap tv specs are pal as well, although i could be wrong

but than again, the whole damn unit is in jap besides the remote and buttons on the unit. so setting it to use av is not going to be an easy task,

i also got the original manual for the sat nav for mine whole 100 pages worth all in jap.

from what i have read so far on the soarer forums.. you can get a pal to ntsc converter for around $250 - $350

this will allow our pal tv signals to be picked up and used for tv, you might find you can hear some stations.. but not see them

you can also get a portable in car dvd from stratties i think... sansui brand.. will output ntsc as well as pal.. so if the screen picks it up.. then cool

i am researching for an R34 factory sat nav... made by xanavi...so i dont have this nice av input box thingo the panasonic has..

i mean there may be one hidden in the car somwhere.. i gotta look still

just got the thing licenced.. so now the messing around begins

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
