need your 2 cents

Hi, i'm new to the forum but has been browsing since a while ago.
I've got the chance to at last get my hands on a nissan skyline coupe(JDM version of G37 since i'm in asia).
Just wondering if theres a major difference in the navi system, since if i get it from Japan, it will be in japanese, any idea if i could programme it into english?
And what do you guys think abt OB with the brown interior? since i'll be getting a type Sp, i will be getting the wooden interior. I've been confused as to get the brown or black leather interior. so, what would be your choice if you were to choose?
and i'll be waiting for a 2010 model, so probably getting my hands on the car in feb.

haha good one... its funny how ppl from states wanna go JDM and ppl from Japan and asia wanna go USDM. i guess the grass is always greener on the other side.
but yea, i'm really stuck between the 2 colours.
Anyone with pics of OB with brown leather for comparisons?

I don't think you will be able to, I believe your Nav is on a CD unlike in the US, it's in their hard disk.

I know my NAV wont work in my country, at least not stock, i gotta modify or re programme it a little. But this is the quote i got from Japan about the NAV, since its an option.

CARWI=GS navigation system (HDD)
7-inch wide liquid crystal monitor + multi function switch + TV
handsfree phone + VICS + voice command + Bluetooth +
DVD audio + music box + back view monitor + ETC Unit +side blind switch
BOSE sound system
CD + AM/FM + 11-speaker + MP3/WMA
Burr-Brown D/A converter + driver's audio stage
*It is necessary to select it with HDD navi.

Is this different from USDM?

Brown's not an option here in the US. We have wheat (light beige), stone (grey) or graphite (black) for interior colors (AFAIK.)

oo i see... thats why i dun see any brown interiors.... we've only got black or brown. standard comes in black leather for the type sp, but for another 100,000yen, i can get the brown. not sure if its just a marketing issue.
