Hi everyone.

Just bought a 2000 GTR R34 vspec 2 from japan and i was wondering if the tv sat nav unit can be converted to australian specs?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nick.

ok putting it more bluntly - the nav unit alone is $1300 add cables and modding and time and you have little change from $1600..

I work on these things DAILY and that price tends to back people right off unless they are serious.

Hrm yeah thats someone I would use.

"Yeah I can fix it, but im not going to tell you a price, how much money you got though?"

Don't go Flaming people when you havent been on these forums for long. Have a look at when Chris joined the forums and the number of posts he's made. He's helped numerous people out on these forums and written DIY's on various things. Also as he mentioned he does this stuff for a living.

Have a little respect for others on here.

Wasn't flaming the guy mum, just saying from a customers point of view I dunno about anyone else but saying "what do you want to spend on fixing it" rather than just giving a price is more going to put me off getting it done.

I havn't been on the forums long either (been lurking for a while though) and can see that Chris has got answering questions down to a fine art.

Basically, if he was to write out information heavy posts in response to every single question that he does reply to (often posts are directed AT him) then his hands would have worn off from typing, long long ago.

Now, without further hijacking.

- Chris, would you recommend simply getting a standalone unit? I assume they would be much cheaper and do the exact same thing.

Mate, just have a read around the car audio forums - chris is one of the most respected guys here in terms of his helpfulness and knowledge of skyline audio installations. He's not trying to make a buck here.

up to you really. most people opt for the stick on glass things as a easy way out . they do tend to get lost and do strange things. the fixed items are a lot more robust so they give very little probelm. I have been using the GARMIN GVN52 in most of mine and have zero probelm with the unit.

for the 34GTR thats the best route. for a 34 with OE screen (howie this is directed at you.) its your choice. I can have a DVD playing on that screen in minutes with the audio routed back out of the main radio OR with a bit of fiddling nav done in a similar fashion.

still waiting to get my hands on a R35. have been asked to look at one in sydney but thats something I'm gong to wait on due to lack of time.

So are you saying that the screen out of the 34 gtt can be made to play dvds if you had a head unit that can play dvds.

Any help would be great.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
