further point on this for those that insist on asking about fixing the nav/language (even though I have already said no several times ..) from the 2013 local infiniti you will need: front panel,

Sorry to be maybe asking stupid questions, but I am thinking of buying one of these in the near future.. What exactly can you use on these systems as they roll of the boat??? I realise that all the

YES PLEASE! More voice commands, complete with phonetic pronunciation guide please... I can switch between Bluetooth and USB, but only because they are basically English :-)

Showing off because your car is new enough to have factory USB.... :nyaanyaa:

That's one I should try. I should've had my Japanese friend try the system out for me when she was in town and teach me a few more commands. Then again, the original manual might have a command list in there. I might do some homework. I like a little challenge.

Because it's hard-coded in the head unit's software (and possibly the GPS unit located in the boot) to only work with the specific region's map. If you're a brilliant hacker, you might be able to crack that nut and make a mint out of it in the process.

I have read the FAQ and didn't see this addressed, but why cant the maps be updated with a simple software update/new cd?

In simple terms, the old gen tech (up to 2010) was produced only for the Japan market. So if you have a V36 2006-2010 then you need to replace the entire unit and screen plus some custom harness to get the "international" firmware. For the 2010+ cars, it's a firmware upgrade, but it's bootloader is locked with a key, that's why you don't have disks with this firmware floating around.

Hey there guys I just got a nissian Skyline 07 350GT and I am currently in New Zealand does anyone know if I can get my language change to English ? 

Yes you can.

I have no idea who would do it for you or how much it would cost.

Pretty certain that it is not possible to change the audio and nav system in a V36 JDM Skyline into English.

What is possible is to replace it with the unit from an AUS/NZ Infiniti G37 either from scrap yard or Infiniti OEM parts. This can also involve changing out the screen and other hardware rather than just simply changing the head unit...

Unfortunately not like the V35s where the unit could be flashed with some custom firmware, created in Russia.

They can be changed, but the technique is slightly different on pre MY10 V36 cars (more complex) and MY10 and later (including 2009+ Skyline crossovers)... Unfortunately there's a cartel that has the method and they are keeping it secret and charging a phenomenal amount for it. (Think $1500+ for a software upgrade)

That's simply a photo of using the video input to mirrorlink an android device to the screen. Yes it's a bit useful (are you using AV input or RGB?) but there's a lot of other functionality tied up in the car Japanese menus... I presume those are unchanged?

Does this include disabling the video screen lockout when driving? How much and what Android box do you put in? Does it include something like the mimics touchscreen overlay?

Cheers -N

Looking at the V36 for my next car, The digital radio was mentioned briefly.  Would it work here or would you have to change the radio to an Australian version to pick up Australian radio?

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
