I have a query about GPS / Satellite Navagation Units from Japan.

I recently imported a Skyline from Japan and included was what looks like a fairly elaborate GPS / CD Rom system. I have taken the system to a few car stereo places, and each time have received a different story as to whether it will work or not...I have yet to hook it up, but would like to know whether it will work first so that I don't waste time and money.

Has anyone in Perth managed to install and use a GPS system that was imported from Japan?

Is there anyone in Perth who would be helpful in this area?

Cheers

Hi the dealer said that any GPS or TV from Japan won't work here, you can't tune it, so you have to buy a new one.

UNfortunately i don't know much about the TV's but there are quite a few who use it as a selling ppoint when selling the car... so it should somehow work... don't osme lexus soarers come with a TV... needs a special circuit or sumfin to work ove rhere though..

ErikTufa: is this the same guy that also said that R34's are impossible to get... just be careful with some of the info that he has told you that guy hasn't really been much help to you so far.

My R34 came with TV/Sat Nav too.

The TV can be made to work but the cost would be as much as buying a new setup here.

If the Sat Nav is a Addzest (Clarion) unit it will not work here until Clarion create/sell a CD ROM for Aussie. That would cost them big bucks and the Australian market is not woth it.

Save yourself some grief and ditch it now....trust me

Cheers

The sat navagation will only work here if you have it programed to read australian positioning... could cost heaps to convert as you will probably have to speak to someone say like VDO or similar compnay who makes a sat. nav. system for there cd-rom to try n use it with your unit and hopefully make it compatible to work here.

Aero Grace - Top idea !!

I am going to buy a portable DVD/VCD player and get it working that way..

i'm also trying to use back as much of the existing system(which has a tv screen) in my car.

Seems that most of them audio salesmen aren't interested in solutions and instead are always pushing me to get one a new unit from them. I mean getting the TV to tune in to local stations would be a costly idea, but surely I can whack on a CD stacker at least?

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
