Attn scandy;

How much was your turbo rebuild and hiflo and where did you get it done again? Looking at buying some N1's that are in need of rebuild cheap and sussing my options if its even worth buyin haha

your best (cheapest) bet is to find a pair of blown ceramics and sending them over to Antimatter in melb and get them rebuilt. Hes doing a pair for me at the moment (which i need to get off my arse and pay him the rest of the cash i owe him)

best thing is, if its in the original gtr turbo housing, regency wont know any difference

-D

i was reminded this evening why i rarely drive the s14 to work. people stopping dead in front of me at 80km/h in a merging lane when they have more than ample room to merge, ive had to jump on the skids because i dont have the room to skirt around him, and the guy behind me has had to spear off the side of the road, and the guy in front had the nerve to jump out of his shitbox and abuse me for 'not knowing how to drive.'

f**k i hate shit people.

n1's are bb yeah? rebuild kit is $1300 or something for a bb. dunno. could be wrong.

got it done through hypergear (check on ns.com), standard rebuild was $400, highflow was $800.

got thru it alright, will be ideal with a snorkel later down the track. had a steep old drop off on one side as you go in............got thru it easily, but dont trust my door seals that much to do it more than once

got an irritating as all f**k knock in the front left corner on right hand turns and hard lefts.

rather concerning when youre doing the uh... speed limit through the hills and you hear that.

any suggestions as to what it could be?

^ Hey Scandy.

It could be your wheels hitting the struts? or wheel guard... why that side? maybe it could be due you Adelaide poor camber roads :P

or... you hit the corner hard?

or a leaky strut?

hope that helps....

ps; SwineFlu sucks... a whole week off isnt as good as it seems, you sleep all the time and just plain bored!

no leaky strut, checked that. plenty of wheel-sturt clearance, enough wheel-guard clearance for it to not be that (only scrapes on hard bumps), so im at somewhat of a loss. matty suggested it could be ball joints. seems likely. i reckon theyre oem...

You can buy brand new -5's for less than that.

Coils with camber tops? Not the spherical bearing in the top rattling? I had that with a set of coil's in my car drove me mad till i pulled them out when i sold them and found out what it was...spewing

How much man? I will have a daily soon so I'll just rip my turbos off and send them away if the price is good?

PM me if you dont want it on the forum.

You'll have to PM him for a quote for his labour and parts as Im not sure what the prices are like atm, and if you want to buy a pair of turbos I'll have my stockers for sale after the new ones are fitted, but we're talking a couple months here

-D

turns out the engine i bought off here has a shagged cylinder and bent valves -.-

i am so happy about this

jeez man ur run of bad luck just keeps getting worse

can you fix the cyl with a bigger diameter bore ? could be good excuse for 2.8lt pistons ? ;\

    • 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.
