Hi guys

Just picked up my new '10 Premium and having gotten used to (reliant) on parking sensors on my M3, im having panic attacks parking this car in my home/work car park

The wing provides a good indication of where the rear of the car is, but i need a cam or sensors

Atm im leaning towards a cam, and am tossing up whether to go for that camera kit US forum member Adrey (Specialized Performance) sells, or the JDM OEM kit from JAPANPARTS

Price is about the same for either.

My question is, is it true our cars are JDM spec and thus pre-wired for the OEM camera kit? Is anyone here running one?

Adrey's kit requires removal of half the dash, not to mention the routing the wiring back and outside the car vs the oem kit which appears to be an install localised entirely in the boot - plus it comes with all the external brackets etc. OEM is going to be a much easier install

Looking forward to hear what route everyone is going with this

Cheers

Sam

Send a PM to Chris Rogers, who is a member on here. He has experience in installing cameras in R35s.

EDIT: Congrats on the purchase! Post some pics!

thanks mate

re pics, just looks like a stock black gtr atm

car is getting some paint work done this week, then ill detail it and post pics - gotta de-hamburger the rear bootlid too

i installed the mcr harness to light up all 4 rear tails, and got the milltek y-pipe on the way

i also have to philips silver vision the indicator and parker globes, i remember i had to jack up my 350Z to remove guard liner/access back of the headlights - is it same deal with the gtr?

this is the only pic i have atm... polished the exhaust tips which were blacked out with carbon. I thought it was black because of the bad dealer prep, but 2 days later they're black again.....do these things run rich all the time?

Sam,

Good to see you getting into the mods so quick! I have a JDM car and it has always run pretty rich. I have just had the ECU remapped with a Willall COBB tune but it still blackens the exhaust tips. I can highly recommend a COBB tune, it is fantastic bang for your buck.

Don't use exhaust pipe colour to assist in tuning an unleaded car. Doesn't work like the pre-cat days any more. Even properly running cars will blacken the exhaust tips, even after a country trip where they're running at stoich the whole way.

MY10 is DVI - unless specified otherwise the USDM is still analog video. mate of mine has this issue with a car in MLB currently. the JDM item WILL NOT work. most of what I have done is custom. search for GTR naviagtion. it should bring up a few images. failing that I do have it listed on my site under 2009 gtr int he lower left corner.

Roger i noticed you asked the same question as me a while back

So what was your solution? Did you import the JDM parts and it didnt work?

If that's the case, looks like my only plug and play option would be Adrey's kit - remove the dash and tap into behind the screen

2010 ADM is digital video. the kit on NAGTROC is analog. its not even going to plug in.

Chris thanks for the heads up

In emails, Adrey mentioned he has sold kits to 2010 and ADM owners

Starting to wonder now

He asked if i have the Aux button on my radio, which i do, so not sure if that means anything. My car has the iphone/ipod plug in the centre console bin, so i figure that has something to do with the aux button. when i push the aux button, it says no bluetooth audio/media connected

Are you putting together a retail kit for the 2010?

i might just put some good quality universal parking sensors on it, a 2 sensor kit and hide them behind the exhaust grille

i just found this thread

http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?sh...=27353&st=0

seems all i need is the PVCINISI switching unit and to tap into the reverse wire of the M81 harness behind the CD unit

gotta run this past my audio shop to gather their thoughts - considering the install they did on my Z, id imagine they can work this out

makes me wonder then why adrey's kit goes through the hassle of removing the entire screen and tapping mutliple wires behind it

I would still be wary on this. Z34 is ANALOG VIDEO. this is NOT. the piece that your guys used I dare say comes from a brissy suppiler. I haev been working with the same supplier for the digital version since nissan released the car. the connectors are entirely different to anything on the market and thats teh bitch of it.

where are you btw?

im in melbourne chris

so from 2010 nissan went to digital, does that mean pre 2010 cars dont have the nav, ipod connection in ashtray, aux button etc?

cant something be done with the aux botton - maybe connecting a camera in an always on mode that is switchable via the aux botton? or it seems when i press the aux button it looks for a bluetooth audio/video device - there are no cameras on the market that can operate via bluetooth?

despite the dealer telling me no, it seems dvd's do play on the screen, but locked via the handbrake. Do you have anything to bypass the handbrake lock out?

if you come up with a retail kit, you'll have to let me know

did this car come from werribee or FTG nissan?

if FTG go see adam at stylyn car audio in boronia. he will then give me a call. most of the stuff I do is not end user friendly. I can sort out most things on that car easily ( i have the diagrams here - no you cannot get a copy :) ) video is the only pain. as for remapping buttons - nope.

and yep the 09 cars didnt get nav/ipod or aux audio.

unless I did them they went out bare bones. there are 5-6 running around with garmin boxes in them and twin cameras. (one with a race camera setup as well.)

hi guys

bumping this thread

found the camera option in the system diagnostic menu on my 2010

clicking on this gives you the parking line guides when putting into reverse

have ordered the oem camera kit from japanparts (15% off atm) and will be installed entirely within the boot area. I have pulled back the boot trim and located the plugs for the oem kit

will post some pics when it's all done - that is if it works.....only one way to find out

im not sure whether it's a 2010 Digital thing or whether the older analogue module has it too

to enter system diagnostic menu

turn car on

turn radio off

while holding settings button rotate the volume knob clockwise until the screen appears (takes about 30-40 clicks)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stop on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, you need to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Duncan · Posted

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.
