I’m looking at buying a R34 GT-T that has a pop-up TV and Sat Navigation mounted in the dash, and wanting to know if they can be configured to work in Australia. I have heard of converting NTSC to Pal in the TV’s, however a little worried about the Sat Navigation system. Anyone out there who has successfully converted the TV and Navigation system to work in Australia?

I was gunna post the same question tonite but saw this post on the front page! :) [Long time reader, short time member :-)]

I have an R34 with the popup TV and took it to a car stereo place to find out if it is possible to hook up a dvd player and australian tv tuner to the screen, but they recon it cant be done.

I cant see why not... when ya playin a cd the deck says "aux"...so surely it would be as simple as plugin the stuff in through the auxilary input...it is after all just a TV screen?!?!?!

As for the sat nav, dont think there is even the slightest chance of gettin that workin over here!

But the screen is still useful (for toss factor)...when ya play a cd the tv screen shows the tracks numbers and stop/play/fwd/rwd buttons...and ya use the sat nav joystick to move between em!

Maybe the HKS "CAMP" stuff could be hooked up to the screen at least...since both are japanese???

I only discovered the popup screen when I was on my way home from pickin up the car... "Damn where are my gauges on the top of the dash!!! hmmm...wonder what this 'open/close' button does....coooooooooooooooooool" :-)

Speaking of cool things, bumped a switch on the drivers side arm rest and didn't notice that the mirrors automatically folded in and then went to use them and thought some b#@%$^d had knocked em off ........... decided I should read the manual ....... so that's what that switch does.

My r33 has sat nav and a TV. The navigation is CDROM based and its only in japanese. No conversion. No australian CD. I simply unplugged it and plugged in a car dvd player via RCA. Works awesome. Forget about the sat nav, it wont work without spending $$$$

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
