Just bought an M35 stagea and upon trolling through the japanese menus on the screen - I found the compass screen. Trouble is that the direction of the compass is incorrect by 60 degrees or so. Is there some way to calibrate it to be correct?

Cheers,

Andrew

mmmmm.... interesting. Some how I manged to make mine wrong by 180 degrees by pressing some buttons. Showed where I was coming from. I kept changing settings in the jap menu's and eventually managed to fix it or it fixed it's self. not really sure what happened.

I would just see if it corrects it self.

When we manage to get the menu's converted to english we may find the solution.

Sorry I can not be more help.

Cheers

If anyone sends me the occasional M35 screen shot, my Japanese wife has offered to translate them. If you need all the screens translated she could do for a negotiated nominal fee, depending on how many there are.

Hi there, hopefully your compass display is satnav/gps related...........translator/finger-pokn best bet. Else a compass swing is in order. Still need translator but by the sounds of things.

Roadmaps are good & Tomtom rocks.

Hope you work it through without too much hassle.

Thanks for your replies guys - I'll just keep on a button pressing until I find something that looks like a calibration mode or something funky happens and I get the Japanese warning up on the screen :-) I'm sure it says something about being too Aussie to operate this screen.........

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
