I'm looking at getting a V35 coupe soon, but I'm in Melbourne...

If the car I'm getting does have a TV and/or navigation, how do I get your solution applied, do you need the whole car there in Brisbane or can I send the whole head unit and/or any other parts for you to do work on it and send it back?

Or do you have someone to recommend down here in VIC?

Alright, I'll see what I can do. Prestige told me they get a good compliance cost in QLD so if I found a 350GT with dvd/tv then I'll try sending it to that QLD wkshop and maybe you can do your bit either during or after the compliance. But I'm not sure if you can do the work while the workshop is doing compliance or it have to be afterwards, as I've never imported a car myself so I'm not sure what's the compliance process is.

How long do you need to perform the conversion?

there are several here. I do teh work after they do theirs so its not a probelm. you get hte car complete. this is how I do two compliance shops now. easier for me.

ring me on monday and I'll go over a few things with you. (see sig.)

Honestly don't know yet, I'm trying to figure out why you would need video out on that connector, for I'm pretty sure that is the remote camera hookup, as when i disconnect it, only the backup camera stops working. TV is still there. Whereas if I pull out the big connector the TV stops working, so this is the connector to splice... i think...

Nice find - Does that mean what I said here is actually true^^^

I always dd think the big connector was the proper one to hook into and the secondary was just the aux. Is that right?

Hi Chris:

After the tread goes long time. I thing most of member get lost(include myself).

I really want to know that the PnP kit your are working on and wating for, what is the spec ?

What function does it will have?

Can you kindly give everybody and system descripition?

Say: what compount included, what lead does it has and what is needed for installtion?

Sorry for so much trouble but after go through from the first page, I really lost.

Thanks for your help.

Merry Christmas.

Frank

current one :

garmin nav with extra board integrating video & dedicated to running one button on the dash to switch it over - rest is IR controlled. OE system remains and OE computer remains.

revised version.

(still on paper)

mapping of the OE buttons to IR signal inc. joystick and integration the OE screen. no physical remote. different nav. (blau.)

if you are tech savvy have a bit of a think how I'm doing it. this one is a good 6-8 months off.

that sounds really good...

by the way, car missed the boat booking deadline, so won't arrive early Jan, estimated might be late January, however as there's no jan schedule yet, might not be accurate.

I was also thrown in between navi or tv conversion, navi would be more useful, but tv is a cool gadget but might only be worth if spending lots of time in the car. doing both could be too expensive :blink:

also will the tv work while in motion, or only when the car is parked/stationary?

mapping of the OE buttons to IR signal inc. joystick and integration the OE screen. no physical remote. different nav. (blau.)

if you are tech savvy have a bit of a think how I'm doing it. this one is a good 6-8 months off.

That sound outstanding. I am afraid it need huge jobs. Don't tell me that we have to distory a factory remote control.

nope -emulate one and interface the buttons to it. . thing being it will not be a $300 exercise. for those that are SERIOUS about it expect $2-2.2K turnkey. I'm doing it simply because I want a challenge.

You are right about Brian I was at his workshop this morning having a look at the 2005. He has it sussed there is no interference on the screen at all the Nav he out in works a treat.

He has worked out how to keep all the other stuff that the JDM unit does as well as install the new nav unit. He is falt out all the time but like you said in Perth no one comes near him as far as this sort of stuff goes.

Paul

Hi Paul,

I have a 2003 V35 coupe and I would like to chat to someone in Perth with the expertise to sort the Nav/DVD/TV etc and give me some options - can you provide me with a name (Brian?), company contact details?

Cheers,

Vic

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
