yeah, i have had 2 mates choose one of each of the above options..

one needed his license for work, so he got 1 point for six months.. the other accepted the fact he screwed up, and has been riding buses since december..

also, has anyone heard of a 3 strike rule / law / thing..

apparently if you are caught "hooning" 1st time is loss of points / fine.. 2nd is 48hour impound, fine, and you pay for all costs ( towing, impound etc) and 3rd time car is confiscated and sold at auction, so you have the chance to buy it back..

not sure if its a rumour but i am yet to hear of it actually occuring..

Been around for about 2 years.

I think they should have the same penalty for drink/drug driving. That might wake the 'bloody idiots' up.

The Queensland Transport advertisement in the paper today claims sixty something people have died from "speeding related" accidents. But this includes people who were drunk and speeding, on drugs and speeding, on the phone and speeding... Tthey could even be sleeping as long as they were speeding! How many of these accidents were actually caused by speeding? I think SAU is about the only place where everyone sees through this speeding propaganda. Thanks for keeping it real guys :D

yeah i just got off my one point for 12 months, thank god i made it

we should become a republic so the crown wont get the cars,,,,lol

anywhooo,,, nazi state on road offences,,,,surprised they dont put ya in prison for them hmmm jap car=criminal

i spent a few months overseas in philippines, road rules are awesome,, no such an animal as a traffic cop,,,,

i have alot of stories about there,,, but anyone that has been to asia will know similar circumstances of lawlessness on the roads,, but everything seems to work...lol.. that make sense dont it,, if it works in asia then it should work over here lol ..

horn does not equal asshole,, horn equals comming thru move over please..

anywhooooo, yeh

bahahahahahahaha.....and what if they dont die?? you still going to have an idiot...he'll just be in a lot of

pain for a while

How much pain and for how long are we talking here to call it evens ????? ;)

yer qld is tuff for speeding i moved to qld from new zealand in 2004 and brot a nissan skyline r32 gts-t with a 25det neo under the hood and the cops will just look at my car and pull me over and make me pop the hood were in nz u had to be doing something rong for them to even look at u.

Thay are hard on us jap car drivers but what are thay gana do to stop us we will always push the limits as long as we have that thing called a turbo thay will never stop us speeding.

haha, yeah... good one...

i guess you didn't hear about the new penalties for trying to run from the cops?

a) you lose your car immediately (i.e. its taken, and sold)

b) there is jail time (i think they mentioned 2 years)

and

c) $15,000 fine

isnt it funny how you see most accidents on the media which are commodores with a exhaust and mags that have either killed themselves or someone else and then the government pulls out the old tougher penalties law to make it look like they are doing something when really there is another underlying situation at hand.

codint of said it better my self m8 :bomb_ie:

You'd probably get less for robbing somebody, and/or raping somebody.. Just shows out of whack things are.

If you're going to get done for that much, you just wouldn't stop at all! I think that would actually result in more serious incidents.

It's all insane.

i agree with pred and Karen. There are more people dying each year from smoking than on the roads. Think i should quit but back on topic... i must admit that queensland let alone australia has some of the toughest laws relating to the road. U go to indonesia and people ride around over loading utes and on bikes with no helmets..... u go to Osaka and drift for a night and the cops just tell you to move on. in no way am i saying that these 2 examples are good but the point is why are the laws so hard here? whats the point? I wonder why someone hasn't done something about the legal system saying the laws are pushing down car sales becuase first car buyers dont want a car because their scared of the police.

anyways my 2c if anyone can make any sense of it.... big night last night.

lets all face it thay will never stop us speeding no matter how big thay make the penaltys.

why dont thay look at a positive way of stoping us speeding on the streets (eg opening some of the drag strips and tracks that thay have shut down) im shore that the cops dont need any more new cop cars why not keep the ones that thay have and spend the money from the next car that thay bring out on opening the strips and tracks that people shut down becouse thay did not have the money to maintain them

but lets face it our government (might i add the best one in the world haha jokeing) will never alow that to happen as the cops relly need new cop cars the red hloden monaros are over 3 months old lol

Im in the process of appealing my suspensed licence this does not look to good for me the courts will definitively act tougher on speeding offenders

yer mate thay are going to be hard on you have you ever been to cort befor just look at the worst thing that can happen and if you come out at the end of the day better of then look at it in a positive way if u can under stand that

    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
