Yeah. That import site says they don't do RHD -> LHD conversions... You need to go to another place for that.

What does an aussie compliance include?

- Child restraints

- New filters / fluids

- New tyres

- Brake pad check and replace if necessary

- New Seatbelts

- The compliance plate

Anything else?

Given that tyres aren't included in the cost, I can't see why this costs so much. I imagine it would be fairly similar in the US, with maybe a MPH speedo conversion (even though my first car here had a MPH readout instead of KPH).

They argue it out here. Heard there are a lot of bumper safety requirements plus the emissions test. Supposedly it's one of the only vehicles you don't have to convert to RHD. It would be weird shifting with my left hand, but oh I'm sure I could handle it.

  • 3 weeks later...

getting back on topic... I'm sorry to offend you Chris, but that product is just as good as the cyclonic fan that you chuck in your CAI pipe. lol its more of a hinderance than a benefit.

The dyno graphs you've got show a 3kw increase across the board. I know you guys don't claim any power increase, but theoretically speaking a responsiveness increase means a linear variation in the torque AND/OR the power curves. On your dyno chart both curves are exactly the same, one is simply higher than the other by a constant value... This means that your product hasn't increased responsiveness, its simply added 3 kw of power across the board, and likewise for torque.

Changing your oil regularly can do this. Why would any sane person want to spend US$300 (that's AU$600 lol I can turbo my car for that with a cheap ceramic turbo and a secondhand manifold and get maybe 10-20kw on an exponential rate) on the product when you can get a fuel regulator for much less which does a much better job of the same thing.

A lot of cars would have to have custom manfolds made for their car. This is just not an option for everyone. I don't know when the new dyno graphs will come in. There have been a lot of different problems in different areas. One test that we just did is an airflow graph. Check that out...

an HKS cold air kit (larger diameter steel mandrel bent piping, clamps and filters) for a typical car is US$170. The increase in airflow one of these would offer i reckon would be higher. Also just out of curiosity, why does it cost US$300 when the manufacturer sells em for US$139

"why does it cost US$300 when the manufacturer sells em for US$139" The manufacturer is Lee Walker. He sells them for $350. I don't know where $300 came up. Anyways the flow of this is upwards of 800 CFM. The chart is on the website now. It compares the flow at certain voltages. To find out how much a car requires use this formula as stated earlier (RPMs x engine displacement in cu. in)/3456. For reference at 6500 RPMs a 4.6 L motor requires about 522 CFM.

I'm going to remove the motor from my scooter and put honda V-twin off our whacker-packer on in. Then swing one of these bad babies off each side and screw boost up to 2psi with a powerfc with boost controller. Might have to mod the exhaust and re-jet teh carby tho' :D Should be fully sic bro!!

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • 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.
