Driving to work this morning on Parramatta Rd, stopped behind this at the lights and just had to take a photo. Now I've seen canons on Excels, Lancers, every kind of commodore, a Ford Maverick for some reason, Toyota Rav4, Jeep wranglers and the list is endless. But this takes the cake.

If you have any pics please post them up.

lmao, atleast it now has less restrictive exhaust, might be able to get to 0-60 in 20seconds now!

Yeah adding a canon to anything with four wheels (or less) is fast becoming a trend.

Before moving to Sydney I lived in Goulburn, home of level 5 water restrictions, many defects and alot of bogans, they chuck canons on just about everything ... Mirages, Swifts, VT's, XR6 utes, even saw a Toyota Hiace with a canon, Supplied by Super Cheap Auto of course.

Next all the N/A cars with be cruising around with them fake blow-off valve whistler things off Ebay.

Anyone else got some pics???

top photo mate!

If you see anything similar don't be shy, whip out the old camera phone and snap a few shots.

I'm yet to get a photo of this really old Soarer that parks out on the street sometimes which has a GT-R badge on it and a heap of stickers all over Trust, HKS and all that jazz.

Heh... at AutoSalon last year, the basketball bus had a full 4" (or more?) system on it. I got talking to the bus-driver. It is basically a pimped out coach! Surprisingly, it sounded good. Deep, but not 4-cylindery like a Civic, and not so deep like a truck.

OH well... if you're going to sik up a Hyundai, you might as well let people sik up a bus/truck!

EDIT: Remembered the basketball group. "AND1"

why would it be stupid to have a 4" exhaust on a bus? f250's come out with about 3" stock.

as for cannons on hundy's, why is it ok for you to put one on your skyline but not any other car? is there a law that says you can only put a cannon on a import? and what about if i have a NA silvia? or a SSS pulsar? is it ok to have one on a silvia but not a SSS pulsar even though they have the same motor? how many people put a cannon on a skyline cause it is the cool thing to do rather than a oval muffler (which will flow just as much and quieten the car better)? just as many that put them onto little buzz boxes to try to be cool.

my magna has a cannon on it. i didn't put it on, the previous owner did. why did he do it? to make the car sound better. and it sounds much better than it would've with the muffler that was on it. i had the same rear muffler on my last magna and removed the centre muffler and it sounded nearly as good as this did. but with the cannon it sounds a bit meatier.

but if you are going to bag falcons and commodores with cannons, then you should also bag out NA imports. the people who put them on NA imports only do it to be like the people with turbo imports, so they are just as bad as someone with a lancer.

You don't have to have an import to have a cannon, you just have to have something .. well .. good. And a non-turbo Silvia and a SSS Pulsar are good cars earning them the right to wear a cannon proudly. Also saw an R8 ute with twin cannons out the back, respect to it. And I'm assuming that the majority of Skyline owners have a cannon on their car for the same reason, it came with the exhaust system they bought and it all bolts up nicely. As for the matter of bolting one on to improve the sound, most of the Excel and Lancer etc owners just bolt it onto the standard exhaust thus not improving the sound at all, worsening it in fact. And nothing could be worse then those cannons with the led lights surrounding the tip.

Either way you have to draw the line somewhere, as you can see from the featured picture, that truck has a cannon, why? I don't know, it offers no visual satisfaction or any benefits at all.

Two birds with one stone. It has a cannon AND a GT-R badge!

Even if that car ^ had an RB26, it still couldn't justify wearing a GT-R badge. Disgrace. :ninja:

dont rent a scooter whatever you do... oh, unless you have a death wish of course

lol I just got back from thailand and um yeh had a scooter for a couple of days and crashed it......all on my own lol had a shocker

I was going up this incredibly steep hill and 2nd gear was running out of revs so had to change to 1st or I was gonna start going backwards. Sooooo I figured a quick change was in order to keep momentum but I didnt count on the pile of torque in first and the thing kicked up like a king cobra and I was hanging on for dear life lol

after a funny struggle to keep control it went down at all of about 20km/hr and smashed the tail light assembly and ripped off the rear number plate :wave:

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      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

      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.
