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 $$$$

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
