and how do we do that? Do the el cheapo laser cleaner disks from bargain shops do the trick?

If you have a map disc, keep it in the unit and make sure it reads it.

If you don't have a map disc, see if you can get a copy.

All the units I have seen with a map installed in the DVD rom were an easy conversion. The laser seems to get dirtier with no disc installed.

He I too had mine upgraded to english and it rocks. Thanks andy and everyone for this and especially Rianto.. Great instal

Roll on aus maps now.

:down:

Hey guys had my conversion done last night by Andy. Works great. Only downside is I have seen Andy's car and I will now spend more money on mine!!! Great ride you got there. Very neat.

Thanks again.

A note to those that had their cars done in sydney by nagoya motors (or by revolution electronics) and had a local DVD video player fitted. if you CANNOT find your DVD ROM ANYWHERE in the car there is a VERY good chance it has been stripped to a bare board and shoved under the stock spot and between the glovebox.

IF YOU WISH TO UPDATE YOUR LANGUAGE SOFTWARE YOU CANNOT DO IT !!!!!!

90% of the OEM unit is MISSING! so you guys are stuck UNLESS you replace it with a used item.

I have a car here now from NSW with this EXACT issue. I am going to try other means of updating this one but I see it as a no go. the progam needs to reside in two spots : ON the DVD reader board and also on the main board.

swapping bits into the system from another stripped unit will result in a unit that will reboot every 5 minutes and ask for the jap language disc.

just a word of warning..

further point now that I look closer at this board:

the GPS gyro is also gone. so theres NO WAY to program this thing.

looks like I pass on this one.

(time for me to start my integration into this box by the look of this one.)

Been reading through this quite substantial thread.....

Just want to make sure that I've got my facts straight.

I've just got my V35. It's a 2005 S2 Premium Coupe.

My understanding is that as of today, the english conversion software patch is not yet available for the S2.

But. All being well it will be available from some kind outfit in Russia in the future.

Did I get it right?

:)

Almost, It should be ready for the V35 S2 around the middle of this year.

It will be available for the people listed in my signature.

Excellent news!

I shall look forwards to the arrival announcement.

Any ballpark on what investment mightl be required as yet ?

Cheers.

Hey guys. I have an 04 primera p12 wagon. It has the jap navigation screen with all the stuff in japanese. Anyway you guys have a disc i can buy to convert mine to english?

Hi Jason

Sorry, whilst it looks similar the system is different and our conversion system will not work on your car.

Cheers

Andy

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
