That's freakin' cheap. Mine was $3k plus tyres.

MAKE SURE you ask what is included with the $2.5g! You don't wanna be slapped with extra charge of this and that especially with your aftermarket parts, they'll probably gonna charge you labour cost to remove them, fit std parts on for compliance, then refit your parts back on after compliance, that could sting a bit.

could be an earth wire kit (I hope for your sake) which is said can improve voltage stability and give a bit more power, regardless whether you're skeptical about it or not...

if it's some dodgy wiring from previous owner, then I wish you the best of luck it didn't stuff up

welcome to the world of importing cars from Japan!

don't let the rarity of an expensive jap wheel deter you at all. If anything its a plus that you're getting it with the car. You will also have slightly better re-sale value once you get sick of the wheels and want something else. Definately unique looking wheels and better than anything you can buy locally. I vote you keep it, and lower the car to suit :(

Looks like a wiring earth kit and quite a well done one, as they can sometimes be everywhere.

The 2.5g doesnt include tyres. I was told that the tyres on the car are in good condition so therefore didn't need to buy new ones. And how much can they charge to take things on and off cant be more then a few hours work , so anothe couple of hundred max .

Manda-those wheels are hot dont loose them just yet. The biggest issue is the fact that they are 20Inch which means rubber is expensive. etc. fact is you will scratch any rim at some point. Worry about it only when you've knocked them round a bit.(swap them if you must for 19's)

My 05 premium is chipped (not sure but must be Impul from all I see/hear), and has the slightly bigger exhaust. It runs like a Dream on 98 Oct so dont panic. No problems starting at all !. The power output at the engine with the chip & exhaust will get you around the 221kw (298Bhp)or over 200 hp at rear- no problem.

Compliance cost 3K+GST. (three people quoted exactly that figure)). Exhaust changes will be at cost to remove then replace once complied. +Tyres separate.

As others have said check they are doing everything.

Sorry-they are 19inch rims-Just unusual to run 35 profile. Normally run 40 for 19's. But shes running slightly wider fronts 245 (i/o 225) so guess that offsets.

Thanks for your input. So is your chip impul as well and what does it do ? I have the fujitsubo exhaust system as well have you had it dyno tuned im curious to see. I was thinking about selling those wheels and getting something a bit cheaper to give me some money back from the compliance , etc.

Also yes they are 19" . The tyres are 245/35/19 and not sure about the rear maybe bigger. If i have to buy some more tyres i will be very angry ! What colour is yours and what wheels you got on it . Do you have any pictures . Mine is a 03 model.

Here is my o5 coupe. Not sure what the chip is. I know all standard V35's pull 206kw.Add the exhaust & chip and the I few a saw/test drove were all quoting 221kw(298BHP) which is easy to believe. You loose about 30% to the back wheels. (so near enough).

Look at the wheels another way-Check what you would get for em now & if its alot less than a decent set of 19's you will be out of pocket anyway. Better to hang on to them. otherwise choice is yours..

      FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      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.
