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.

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

    • Too much work, but guess I will have to
    • qld plates “GTR R34” for sale $5500 (listed else where) 
    • Or, just take PS pump off and inspect? Does no-one do this any more?
    • Yep it is overflowing. All was working fine but been off for a year so guess something may have seized. Steering is heavy yes   i will raise the front of the car and will turn side to side to test id bubble goes away
    • Does the steering feel heavy when you turn the wheels? Any puddles of fluid on the floor or that you can see leaking from anywhere? You could try bleeding the system, if it’s making a whining sound when turning the wheels then that’s a sure indication there’s air in there somewhere. Start the car and remove the reservoir cap, then turn the wheels from left to right a few cycles and then check if you see any air bubbles rising to the top of the reservoir. Top up if necessary and repeat. Otherwise, I can only suggest that your pump vanes have seized or that there is a perished seal somewhere??
