Not sure if its the titanium exhaust i have (already installed at purchase) but I would really recommend one - really sounds good when you floor it, yet silent when holding the revs on the motorway etc. look pretty damn good too! Heard a few of the nismo setups when I went to Wales and i must say I prefer mine (personal preference of course)!

Thanks but what i mean is.. what is the top speed of a JDM 5 speed Auto when delimited?

Cheers Digsy!

LMGT4's (like big phil's old ones)

cant afford brand new though

Just wondering if there are any 02 plate owners.. my Zed was the only one in wales i think!

are these standard (old skool) wipers or flat blades? also, have you got the model number/description?

Ok, so i doubt it but does anybody have any for sale?

Want (obviously) 4.

Thanks

Hi Guys

 

I've started reverse engineering the Jap Birdview satnav DVD and I'm having some success, I can edit the files on the dual layer DVD, re-write them and have it boot in my system without incident (which means the security is wide open).

 

I can now go down 3 routes:

 

1. My preferred route is to hack the satnav update CD to turn the Jap savnav into a UK spec - I think this is quite doable as it's just a case of bypassing the region encoding routine to allow us to update the internal flash / PROM used to run the system.

 

2. If I can get hold of a UK DVD-ROM drive and a Jap drive I can decode the PROM's so we can turn the Jap drives into a UK version. This will be more difficult and time consuming but I'm certainly up for the challenge. Changing the region encoding of DVD drives is well documented on the net so this my be a good attack vector.

 

3. I can try splicing the UK map data into the Jap DVD layout. This will give us UK maps and routing but won't get rid of the Jap fonts - this isn't a very desirable solution from my point of view - although it's probably quite easy. At least we'll have a map of GB on out screens even if the routing is in the wrong language.

 

What I need to begin work is the following:

 

1. UK CD-R satnav update disk (any 2000 - 2005 version)

2. Jap satnav update disk (any 2000 - 2005 version)

3. UK Birdview DVD-ROM. Doesn't matter if it's old (it's testing purposes)

 

If anyone has any of the above and you're willing to copy / lend me the disks I'd be glad to hear from you.

 

There is no certainty that any of the above will work, but I'm an experienced software developed with access to great lab facilities and I just love breaking stuff like this

If you can get the JDM to work in english (or even just to get it to load GB maps) then you will be known worldwide as "Fairlady Z God" *end of ass-kiss* But seriously.. the satnav is the ONLY thing I hate about my JDM, you should set up a donation paypal account and if not for yourself, give it to the owners of this site - i'm sure people will be pretty willing to give! Good luck!! If you need any bug testers im in!

Theoretically I think it's around 175. Not sure though, I remember asking the same question and 182 being mentioned.

Think i know who told you that - but his car is far from stock

So we know that the tops for a6 speed Mt are around 170 -180 but anybody know about the JDM 5 speed AT?

Yeah.. thats much more like it! cheers, will give it a try

how much for the engine cover? i have no idea on prices

Does anybody know if there is a product i can use to achieve a deep looking paint. I know my gun metal grey isnt exactly the best colour for this effect but I think the paint looks, well.. crap. Ive been using the autoglym polish and it look a little better but still not great.

I went from a diesel 206 to a 350z so there was a bit of a hit in petrol prices.. i drove mine in snow mode and found absolutely no difference in mpg, just felt really unresponsive. Yeah, the switches are in a bad position - im always turning the heated seats on as well and wondering why it feels like ive wet myself!

my JDM is 122mph.. so is it the speedo thats off or just an inaccurate limiter?

What do you lot think of these.. not too much information but a damn sight cheaper than one would expect.

Anyone ever used them?

Is that the J-spec with the sat nav bose?

Not just me then haha.

Dont know if you were joking about the pop chargers but big phil sells them for £95 (i think). Is well worth the money - got mine last week!

I want a 5/16" plenum spacer for my Zed. I dont really think its worth the £200 new, but thought i'd see if anyone wanted to sell one that they may have spare!?

Cheers

Ahh.. Thanks Tim.

Off topic sorry but what is the circular metal thing on the bottom left of that pic? I have one in my JDM but havent seen anything documenting it?

Cheers Phil,

Well i'm booked in at ESR on Saturday afternoon to get that camber issue sorted so i'll get you guys to have a look!

Oh,

and what sort of price are these CD based systems going for?

Cheers

Ok,

well thanks for your help!

They wer on the car when i bought it.

I'd guess aftermarket as they are bright blue?!

Its not too loud when driving around but then if i apply the brakes lightly it gets louder.

If i brake at normal pressure the noise goes away until i lift my foot off the brakes again.

Hope its not something too bad..
