V36 Radio/Satnav options

Hi all, 

I'm sorry if this topic has been done to death, but I've had a bit of a look around the forum and can't see a discussion around this specific topic... I'm aware that it's a real pain to get the JDM multimedia system translated to English, and the alternative would be to install an aftermarket head unit/screen. But has anyone tried to install the multimedia system and bezel from a USDM Infiniti? They're plentiful on eBay and can be had for less than $300 but would they work? 

I've heard that all the electrics 'talk to each other' in these cars so would swapping the head unit cause any issues?

If you want a Sat Nav that has US maps then go for it.

You can get a Android based system done. thats the cheapest.

Getting the FM to work is cheap.

Changing the speedo/cluster from the US has been done

Hi guys, sorry for bugging in, but how does the Android based system work? Is it easy to fix it up? Would really appreciate if you could shed some more light on it.
Thanks in advance.

I have a 2007 model and have had the full jap to English swap done.

Wasn't cheap but well worth it as I wanted the full functionality in English. Had to wait for the new screen and drive to arrive as the parts were brand new.

Everything works as designed from factory, sat Nav, radio etc all work perfect along with the steering wheel controls.

Let me know if you want any details on where it was done.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
