welcome to SAU Graeme :P

I've got the vic membership form on my comp, so I'll attatch it for you :P

and Tas04, bit of a silly post there mate....i've seen the drags at dandenong, and if you have too, you cannot sit there and say they aren't ridiculously dangerous.

EDIT, i had the form uploaded, but apparently its an old version now...sorry

Thanks for the welcome. It will be good to meet fellow import driver's. By the way everyone at my work dislikes my car."Why would you drive a rice eater" is their attitude. They just can't get over Nissan winning bathurst and love their V8 "Aussie" cars. I don't know another cop that drives an import.

Hahaha! :)

BTW if you don't mind me asking... Have you ever been defected by another cop? :P

I've heard about him. It wouldn't make a difference what I do. There are a couple of others there that also book cops. very strange.

That should be a warning to everyone stay away from knox if your in a import if he sees you say hello EPA/NOU.

But saying that, I can't imagine anyone else EPA me. Maybe I'll back them up one day and then they would remember that so hopefully they wouldn't EPA/defect me either.

Also if I go TMU would help as look after their own and TMU are the ones that give out the EPA/NOU predominently.

Yes I have being EPA before I joined though in my old TTSoarer as it was extremely load exhaust. 98DB I think. Just changed the system lucky I was already planning on doing it.

Just learnt recently but you may be aware but EBC/ADJ BC are EPA issue.

I know, well I guess I have the best job to have my car as a daily driver.

IMO the EPA laws are far too restrictive anyway. I guess I won't be EPA vehicles anymore. Unless they have a bad attitude.

Welcome to the club good to see a member of the police wanting to be active within the club. If I joined the police id certainly have a similar attitude. I dont know about here, but back in WA, there were quite a few police who were members in various car clubs, my old neighbour back there who was a police officer drove a stunning 2 door STi and joined me on many cruises.

On the note of police disliking "rice burners" I was at a tyre shop recently and one of the fitters there has a VY SS with a supercharged Gen III. He was at the lights and a skyline lined up to him so he gave it and got pulled over immeadiately after the lights. The copper pulled over both vehicles and goes to the guy in the commodore - Your lucky im a commodore fan, now piss off while I take this Jap shit off the road.

I personally felt scared when I heard that.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
