OK.....You have asked for pics so here is what I have been able to put together tonight.

The pictures are of the following.

1) Main menu

2) VICS

3) FM

4) Compass & Altitude

5) Fuel Consumption

6) Ave fuel consumption

7) Trip Computer

8) Service information

9) Service detail page (one of 4)

10) ETC

These will give you a good idea of what you will get. There are some more menu's in behind these but bear in mind that the following sections do not function in Australia. VICS, FM, ETC & Navigation.

The real benefit is that on a daily basis all the information you are looking at and using are in English and this is easier to read on the fly and adds to the resale of you car should you decide to sell.

Cheers

Andy

Question Andy,

If you set your service interval to every 500km for example, and you reached the distance,

does the popup alert also gets translated in English, or is it still popping up with Japanese?

Reason i asked is because I still see a little bit untranslated japanese text at the bottom of the screen in picture 2 & 3

The pop up warnings all come up in English, like the hand brake warning or the the Yellow box that comes up on the TV when you turn the ignition off.

The bits of japanese at the bottom of the screen are the sort of proofing that I am doing over the next 2 weeks. I am that these are corrected if possible.

those bits of text are explanations on the selection on the screen.

I have sent you an email as discussed.

cheers

looks great... and good work again.

any chance of a definition of the pages that haven't been translated or won't work, what does VICS, FM, ETC mean.

I took a guess but just want to check!

as for the purchase of a V35... always takes me ages to bite the bullet. Deep pockets and short arms!

ETC = Electronic Toll Collection

FM = not 100% what this is used for. Chris Rogers may be able to explain it

VICS = Vehicle Information Control System. This gives information about traffic to the Navi system.

Navi = Navigation system

I believe this is what they do.

From what my rather vague understanding of the Japanese kanji translation FM would be a service (only available in Japan) that allows news-flash or information be displayed on screen, e.g. traffic information, road works, accidents, or perhaps even any general news/advertising.

Even if that screen is translated, it would be of little to no use for us (most likely to no use).

Andy makes a valid point about value in resale. $200 may be a lot of dough to spend for english when most of us can navigate around the screen from habit, but when you go to sell its a much easier pitch to show people in english.

I second that.

There were people asking me info about V35 and they kind of being 'put off' when they learnt that the information screen is all in a language they can't understand.

Just a question about the fuel leaf Andy, In Jap format the leaf goes green upwards as fuel economy (ie fuel used to accelerate) gets better, so goes from 0km/L up to 15km/L. With the inversion to L/Km, how does this work? Does the leaf work backwards towards zero???

You can see how it is in it's worst form from the image.

As you get better economy the coloring of the leaf fades to grey to correspond the the fuel consumption. ie: if you were getting 15L/100, the leaf would be grey above this point and green below the 15L mark.

nothing confirmed yet but we will be working on it soon.

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
