miiiiiiitch avcr is runnin sweet now its right on the money :-)

Wiiiiiill..... sounds good man, dont think ive been for a ride in your car yet, youll have to take me for a spin, and work something out with those wheels haha :)

I had a rather enlightening morning...went go pick up breakfast this morning from macca's and as per normal there is usually a police car there picking up there morning breakfast as well...in this case there was one and another turned up after i had parked. the two in the store walked out and started talking to the two guys who had just turned up. Anyway while this was happening i got out of my car and went to walk inside when the female police officer looked at me and asked me if that was my skyline, i politely said yes and then she informed me that apparently turbo timers become defects once you have walked away from your car. So you are allowed to stand next to your car while the timer runs out or you must disable it, otherwise you are able to get a defect. anyway staying polite i said i didnt know and ill make sure to stay next to my car next time and thanked her for the advice, and wished her a good day.

did anyone else know this? i thought it was rather a bizarre defect..

Yeah, the police officer is 100% correct. Usually when you buy a turbo timer you research these kind of things. Just take it as a "Learn as you go" kinda thing. You cant know it all, so don't be down on yourself. - Straight from the horses mouth i reckon!

Was the Macca's good? mcdonalds-funny-pic.jpg

Oh....and one more tip...."Drive Thru" - Allot easier and avoids these types of defects. - Just sharing the experience around. Although i had to stop using it when the car was too low...you wont have that problem...sits like a 4x4 :thumbsup:

Hows Noosa looking today? Was thinking about a surf aye....good weather for it?

Yeah I knew bout this one too, it's pretty stupid if you ask me, but that's the rules!!
yeh i never bought my timer it came with the car and i cant edit it with teh controls like you can so i never know how long its going to run for. But i mean how can you hand out a defect for something thats only defectable under certain reasons. It is not like with a bov set to atomspheric you can just plumb back. The only way to fix this defect is to stand next to your car or turn it off. Ah well cheers jase.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
