Always had a soft spot for the old beetle. Had one as a paddock thrasher back when I was 13, 14. That and a ke70, sort of wish I hadn't put it in a dam now.

Col, never met but it's good to hear you will be getting a bit of money back. Sad that you worked hard over the past few and haven't gotten 100% in return, some people get it easy, the rest of us work hard for nothing. What Lexus did you get?

Yeah no complaints really, you get set backs now and then it will all work out in the long run im sure...

We bought a RX hybrid to go with my IS... We now have "lex'i" in the garage... All Japanese again, jap cars, jap bikes and jap powered gardening tools... :P

I was way off. I was thinking you'd get a 350 seeing as you wanted one last time.

I was heading down the ISF line, but Nay didn't want another V8... So i got her the hybrid instead...

270kw combined output (one petrol and two electric motors) and 710nm of torque @ 1920kg...

Its faster than any factory HSV/FPV out there at the moment and its an SUV... :D

Remember electric motors make high torque right from 1 rpm... So when you floor the pedal it launches like a modified GTR...

So i sorta won at the same time... No ISF but at least we got something as fast...

I'll be trading my 250 on a 350 or ISF later in the year... 153kw up to 233 or 311kw (budget pending) :D

Mangs, long shot but my better half is doing a cert 3 in admin, and wants to do some work experience. If anyone knows or works in a place that might be able to accommodate her for a day or two a week, let me know.

    • 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.
