Hi All,

New member of SAU! Iv been watching this forum for years, now I finally have a M35!

Just got my fresh m35 import, completely stock...... including the Stereo, sat-nav and TV.

Question is: Non of this work in Aus! only Japan. Is there an easy solution to get these 3 working?

or is it as hard as I read everywhere?..... e.g. someone has to do a group buy for Digital TV converters, need to drive to Sydney to get someone to change language, and god know how to do the sat nav!

Also hoping that the glovebox dvd player can be strait swaped for a media player of some sort that does MP3's, AVI's, DivX, Ipod etc

Really hoping I can do one day trip to someone and they can do all this?

Thanks an advance for any advice! ;)

James

Hi James.

People are really happy to help around here if you do a search first, as this has been covered a lot. But here goes...

Sat nav won't work. The end. You need an Australian map disk that doesn't exist apparently.

You can translate the screen to English. Visit www.xanavi.com.au to find someone near you (you don't say where you're from?).

You can run TV. There are a few tuners available. PM Commsman (Leon) and see if he has any left, otherwise the Xanavi translaters might have one.

The glovebox DVD player is required to run the sat-nav, screen, etc. Not sure if it can be removed and you still output to the screen?

Best bet is to replace your head unit with something that does MP3s, AVIs, DivX, iPod, etc.

Ok after much searching around for information iv found:

You can buy "Car TV Tuners" on ebay that are perfect (just brought 1 for $114 ) this also player media via a usb (avi,mp4, mp3,mkv etc)

The "DVD player" in the M35 stagea is NOT a DVD Player but a DVD-ROM and does absolutely nothing in Australia"

This is the toughest car iv ever had to sort out a stereo/media for..... still open for suggestions

Untrue. The DVD-ROM is the brains of your pop up screen.

Remove the DVD-ROM and your popup screen will not display the trip/fuel/servicing etc info

You can get these translated to English but you still need to retain the DVD-ROM.

Of course if you don't want any of that stuff, just rip it all out. Don't stuff it though as I reckon you'd be able to resell it.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.

      This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.

      Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.

      This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
