Nice ride man, shame about the girly little turbo!! the tacho is no great loss but it would have been nice to have been consulted about it's removal!

My advice is to get a dyno tune before driving this car, i have seen too many melted pistons from driving cars like this, our fuel is different, and tuning can be affected by flat batteries and stolen parts.

Hi mate,

yeah nice ride.

When i went to pick up my 33 GTS-t from the docks in Brisbane the bloody warfies had flogged heaps of stuff from my baby also. They took my Double Din Kenwood Stereo (MD / CD), gear knob (apexi), genuine skyline floor mats, driving lights and my racing pedals. And my tyres had those lil nobbly bits on them that they seem to get after a nice burn-out. I was less than impressed thats for sure. Patricks said that only the whole car is insured (if ship sinks) and that additional cover is needed if you want the other goodies covered. All my stuff was on the bill of lading but......hey....these things happen its what you may call a form of organised crime.

Well thats my 2 cents, I hope everything works out for you,

Haro

seeing this thread again made me remember just how farkin TIGHT some people are.

really... who steals 2nd hand parts that you might get a few hundy for. its been said so many times throughout this forum, but why cant people just earn cars/parts like everybody else has to rather than steal them. fark i hate them. theyre the kind of people that you would love to bash them to within a mm of their life just so that they dont do it again. if only you didnt have to face the repercussions.

over and out.

    • 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.
