Hi Mark I will see what I can do but the limitation at the moment is the time difference between Russia and Oz. 3pm is about the earliest in the day I can cross paths with Russia to get the install key.

Cheers

Andy

follow your signature...."if in doubt, go flat out"

one more good news, previously my compass heading was off by about 90 degree.

e.g. i'm heading south but my compass on the screen shows i'm heading west.

Chris told me that the further south of the equator i am, the bigger the issue could be as the gyro was configured for northern hemisphere.

after the english conversion applied, not only it fixed my screen's clock to match melbourne's time, it also fix my compass heading!

now i know where i'm heading if i decided not to use the garmin nav.

:-)

I think the developer has done more than just translating the language, good work!

in summary:

- japanese translated to english, most screens including some navigation menus, of course the map wont work

- fuel consumption from km/ltr to ltr/100km the australian way!

- clock display showing australian time

- fixed my compass - i can't confirm this until I see other people's compass that was off and is fixed too after to this conversion.

still a skyline, but yeah $6k turnkey solution on V36 I was told - a swap with 370Z ADM unit.

that may sound steep but anyone who spent $45k+ on a V36 might as well get the navi/tv dept sort out properly if there is an equivalent ADM edition available as a donor part.

- fuel consumption from km/ltr to ltr/100km the australian way!

- fixed my compass - i can't confirm this until I see other people's compass that was off and is fixed too after to this conversion.

Ok I had a chat with the developer and just to re-cap some of that above to eliminate any misunderstanding:

- japanese translated to english - YES

- fuel consumption from km/ltr to ltr/100km - YES

- clock display showing Australian time - YES

- fixed my compass - NO - my compass was never 'broken' in the first place, here is what the developer said:

The compass wasn't part of the conversion. The developer said I must have had my car's japanese navigation set to a certain destination in Japan by the previous owner and was somehow set to 'align' with some kind of landmark. That skew the compass off as it will try to align the car to a certain point.

When the conversion is installed it somehow either 'reset' that when I removed the japanese navi dvd to insert the install ROM, or either I have now understand what the japanese navi menu means and was able to turn off that annoying destination that the car kept wanting me to go to in the past year or so.

So if you didn't reset it... you could have gone straight to the previous owner's home?

Cool

:D

    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.    
    • I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
