::No, my brother got a deal on a Nissan Gloria There is a NZ company that specialises in translating, well actually selling translated Japanese car manuals.

These look like images from instruments. Almost every automotive will have menus in selectable languages. It will likely be able to be changed either with a keypress combination or through the diagnostic connector. Talk to a dealer.

Pretty sure someone on one of the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) forums would be able to tell you. I'm not on any of these, but I know they're out there, so google should find some for your brother.

Stack Exchange has a section where people debate Japanese grammar. Almost certainly would be a number there who would help. Look at http://japanese.stackexchange.com/ NOT meant to be a "translate this for me" but very likely thy can assist. I'll try fielding a question there now re this, but have a look. Russel
