Hey,

I was just defected this morning on the way back home to sleep.

Police officer added "You and your mates must be really unhappy with us defecting your little drifting event, we must have got 50 cars..."

Dunno what he was talking about, but i guess hes still feeling some sort of pump from defecting a lot of imports.

I have the following:

Front mount intercooler (cut hole through side)

Blow off valve (atmostpheric)

Greddy front strut brace

Boost controller

black steel intake pipe.

Turbo (hiflow).

What would I need to do to change them?

Any input?

In response to his comment I would of said no i am on my way home from work.

You will need to bugger off ya blow off valve.

Strut brace (prob wouldnt get told off for it but still its an A/M item so bugger that off.

Boost COntroller.

High Flowed turbo will be no issues if it's just the RB25 turbo highflowed. As there is nothing changed on the outside of the turbo.

With the FMIC have you cut up your reo bar at all? if so that may fail you. And the hole on the side just get some vac hose slice it down the middle and put that around the hole you cut for your pipe.

And I would take the induction pipe off aswell just incase.

And anything else you have done to your car

kralster, ghosting this forum.

I said to the guy im on my way home from work, i had my work gear on, reflective jacket and all, and he was a c*nt really but yeah...

I also have the car lowered, and I have 18x9 and 18x8 rims on the car. on TOP of that, i lost my f**king wheel lock nut key and I have to get a new one from Tyrepower Adelaide.

Apart from that, the exhaust aswell, 5Zigen system.

Its gonna be a long 3 weeks i reckon.

the fmic should be fine unless you've cut the reo like someone else has said! and i've also done the hose thing! i got through so there's no reason why you shouldn't with that

with the bov if you still have the standard one get it back on! i put mine on my intercooler piping and they've so far been cool with it!

i never knew strut braces were illegal! if so then the po po have been letting it pass

don't know about the boost cont! (if it's a manual or electronic one) but the intake i've got stock air box and stuff if that'll help!

as for the turbo! i think my workshop still has one of my standard r33 turbo's!

he would have been talking about the defect station they had set up out the front of mallala last weekend.

just goes to show they are more intesested in working AGAINST us rather than with us to make the streets a safer place.

having a station set up out the front of an event like that is like taking candy froma baby for them,

then bragging about it....just lame :woot:

why did you get pulled over pauly? were you driving like a ratbag?

you'll probably need to do everything that Brenton mentioned in his above post.

i dont reckon you need worry about the rims, they'll just check that your tyres have a decent amount of tread.

And even your exhaust... if you can cheekily shut it up so its under 90dB at around 3500rpm, they should pass it.

True. When they target events designed to keep the heat off the street, then they bring the heat to you, thats lame and bloody weak of them. Next, people are going to avoid these 'legal' off street events and take it onto the streets, because the cops will be targetting events such as this.

On the other side of the coin, we do have alot of import car drivers to blame for such attention. Obviously the police are doing anythying, right or wrong, to get their message across.

nah ive got a clearence from the sturt police station to drive the car while on defect. theres a small part on the back of the defect paper at the bottom that will grant you clearence to drive till your regency date. ive got mine under the defect sticker.

also Tangles, when i was getting defected, they pulled in a creamy stagea and defected him too and that looked pretty stock :D

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • 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.
