Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

I'm hearing more & more stories lately of sensible peeps in modified imports not getting defected.

Me thinks they're judging you on the spot and making a pre-determination in their heads as to whether they think you're a hoon or not.

If they think you are one, you may come away with a canary......they obviously liked you James.

I've had cops drive along next to me down Hanson Road ... never been touched. Had a good looking over from their patrol car, but not yet touched.

i had cops driving at me at 40km/h going on the opposite way of traffic on main north rd 80km zone

thought it was a drunk driver confused about what country he is in. jammed on the brakes and changed to the right lane while he passed me on the left. then i relised it was a cop :)

not sure what he was doing maybe looking for someone hiding in the shops near salisbury east scared the crap outa me though

aside from that no trouble from cops, i wouldnt be too scared if i were you guys, cops have real statistics of when hoons are a problem they dont need to read a paper.

its no different now than it was any other time to drive a import as far as i can see. well maybe my nerd googles give me minus 10 hoon points to offset against driving a gtr :(

I used to catch the those trains every day for about 5 years going to and from work, often late nights and i never seen a thing like that.

drunken smelly bogans talking about how tuff they were was about it, and a couple of racist redneck comments.

never really felt that unsafe but im from the gheto so i guess im just used to it :thumbsup:

then again i do remember 1 phyco going nutz saying someone was staring at his gf which he clearly wasnt. lil too much happy pills on the line

is a lil different for chicks though especially once off the train going to a car at a station or something

Hi I like to tell you how violent the train system can be, but don't want to leave my full name or have my name published.

ROFL

but his story is pretty shocking, somehow i doubt it all happened at once....

Hi I like to tell you how violent the train system can be, but don't want to leave my full name or have my name published. I use to be a senior security officer on the trains and witnessed violence every day. A few years ago I was asked back to the trains as a senior guard, I was only working Monday to Friday nights. my first week back was a nightmare!. on the Monday every thing was fine, Tuesday not so good I was on the Gawler train heading back to Adelaide when we hit a male person, the train stopped and we had to go back and see how the male was the inspector stated he was dead, I could hear the the male choking on his own blood so with help from inspector and driver we turned male over and cleared his airway from blood, this male survived. On the Wednesday night I was on the Gawler train again when we had to stop the train, there was a male further up the track who had slashed his arms up waiting for the train to hit him, We had to wait until police removed male from track. On the Thursday night I was sitting in my office when I noticed a large male running down the step's of the railway station covered in blood and collapse on the floor, we approached male and found out he was mentally challenge and had said something to bikers across the road, they stated punching him, he tried to run away and was hit by a car on north tce. On the Friday night I had a call on the radio asking me to come to the female toilets, as I got to the female toilets I noticed a young female swallowing razorblades. This was my first week back. I would like to also say, The police do a good job with the resources they have, which are very stretched most of the time, The personal assistant on trains, 30% are really good and have good people skill, But 70% of the personal assistants have no people skills and cause a lot of problems on the trains trying up a lot of police resources for situation that could of been avoid in the first place putting at danger the guard that is on that train as well of the passengers.The security guards on the trains are not like the transadelaide employees and get paid a lot for what they do in fact most of the guards are permanent part - time, so if they complain to much about the condition or go on work cover. The will find when they return to work, they will be on their minimum hours a week which are 15hrs. Many police, Guards, and Transadelaide employees, Have a very difficult job on public transport, So lets also spare a thought for these courageous people who try to make public transport safe, But are losing a fighting battle, Because resources!

I catch it everyday, in business hours it is fine, I dont need to get off right till the end so I normally pass all the scumbag stops. I have had some guy punch the window where me and my sister were sitting and it cracked the complete thing and scared the crap out of me, saw a few rocks being launched, delt with the loud as wankers talking about fights and drugs, been yelled at by some drunk guy who was yelling at everyone, then after other people got of the train he was all sorry and telling me his life story, had drunks carry on about "WTF are you looking at" when I dont even look at em, had kids graff the window where I was sitting, i could probably think of a few more but yeah this is mainly in business hours so Id hate to be a general user.

My rule is to not look at anyone and do boxing training.

Such grotty people get on at times, absoulte scum that the world would be better off without. I find myself very simpathetic to the kids of those 12year old mums and junkies.

Dudes that look about 10 smoking and carrying on...

Rather depressive sightings.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Watermouse · Posted

      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!

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      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

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.
