Ando - I got NFI where Oran is. Prolly no point following me, I'd say I'll be getting lost a couple of time. But your welcome to get lost with me.

I'm leaving the NBs about 9ish maybe a bit later.

Roy I live at Penrith and going by myself (I think) only thing is im not sure what time i'll be going and coming home. (sorta depends on what time i get home tonight)

Not sure where you all live but if its Nth Sydney area or around that way just go straight down the M4 towards Penrith. (it might be 10 or 15mins longer for some but its only 2 roads and some nice scenery so no chance of getting lost).

Take the Northern Rd Exit (Penrith) and head south (along the Northern Rd) for a good 30-35mins. This road will take you south towards Camden.

Oran Park is on your left as you go over a hill. You won't be able to miss it, you will see the stadium and entry from the Northern Rd. Hold your nose though as you drive past some of the paddocks hehe.

To enter the track you will need to enter at the rear gate so turn left onto Cobbity St.

top day out, it was good to meet a few new faces there!

and I think I've done more damage to a tyre than either pete or dan's records :( It did explain the small handling problem I was having tough :D

One thing though, its a shame the club didnt have an official presence there today, of the 30+ skylines in the car park, I only saw 4 or 5 with an SAU sticker.

Damn there were a lot of Skylines there today ! Like Duncan said, if SAU NSW had a recruitment presence or even a brochure or card or wahtever to stick under a windscreem, I reckon we would have had ourselves an extra 20 members straightaway !

Was a good day - tops weather !

Didn't you and B-Man take it upon yourself to personally track down each skyline driver and indoctrinate them? :D

Oh yes, she will be mine!

Thanks guys. If any body got any good pics of the day e-mail them to [email protected] and we'll get them up on the website.

I've got pics all in 2560 x 1920 so on average their about 2.5 megs. What size you want the pics at? Saves on file sizes that way.

The track day yesterday was great.

Congrats go to the team at UAS for organising it. Was great to see some excellent examples of Skylines'. It has renewed my lust for a performance machine so I can get some quick times out there.

Next time, my baby will be out there.

Perhaps next time SAU guys should wear something to say "I'm from SAU", I would have liked to meet some of the guys out there.

Looking forward to the next one.

    • 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.
    • 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.
