Pulled up in the right hand lane at the lights on pacific hwy to turn right to head towards hornsby, im sitting there next to an ambulance which is in the middle lane when suddenly i hear this roooowmmm mega downshift coming from my right on pacific hwy, i look up and see a silver r33 coming from hornsby side towards me to turn onto pennant hills rd, dude was coming in way to hot and straight away im like nope sorry buddy your gone! (i know the roads around here and that right turn is abit deciving as it has a kink and is off camber) the guy slid and gave his left rear wheel/guard a nice tap on the gutter/telegraph pole at id guess 50-60ks and stopped. at this point im like hrmm ohh thats right ive got an ambo next to me i wonder what he is thinking right now, so i look up to my left and there is the ambo driver sitting there with a cup of coffee in his left hand with a look on his face like omg wtf just happaned! he looks down at me because im waving my hands towards the r33 like ummm dude shouldnt you be like going to see if they are alright??

lol he ambo driver understands,chucks his lights and siren on then makes his way over... traffic lights turn green and off i go.

I hope whoever was in the car is ok and if the driver is a member on these forums...WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??

At least they did it near a hospital.

And I'm with SiVaK. That's a really bad corner to go fast into. Even off the lights, from the middle lane to turn right, if I give it more than gentle throttle I'll get a bit of slip from the rear.

      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?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.

      Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
