Morning Mangs,

TFIT.

One of my tyres went down (thinking it was the valve) and i didn't know it had come off the back bead. Limped it to the workshop to put air in it and heard and awful scrape... that was the rim buckling. So now I need new rims. Ordered them, but they won't get here till next wek. To add to that I'm being screamed at to get my car out of the workshop. So awesome fun. :down:

That sucks mang :(. How badly buckled, did you look into getting it fixed?

Mine went from this:

To this:

It was only about $120 from memory...

My rims should arrive early next week.

What new rims you getting?

tax man ---> :spank: <--- me

good choice... :D

Hehe, my 5g payment was to pay of the remainder of my HECS as a voluntary payment and get the 10% bonus. So I get an extra $500 in my return for nothing. Rorting the system FTW.

And Chris is right around the corner.

Chris is always right around the corner ;):bunny:

So I sent an email off about my phone. got this reply:

Martin

Thank you for the email,

We have looked into the status of your device with the Samsung service centre. Apologise concerning the delay with the repair of your Samsung Galaxy S II. It appears that the service centre has received the device however they are currently unable to confirm the status of it.

We have provided the service 24 hours to confirm where the device is.

Regards

Sounds like Samsung have f*cking lost it! F*CK! This nightmare keeps getting worse :(.

Why did yours have to go back? I am loving mine.

I loved mine too, until it broke :(. Can't wait to get it back. Or another one back. Whatever, sick of this stupid nokia!

It suddenly stopped picking up signal one day - rendering it pretty much useless.

Spent about 2 weeks dicking around trying to get it fixed in AU, because I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it to the UK for warranty. NG, had to go to UK.

Sent it to the UK, ~1 week to get there then spent ~2 weeks sitting in customs, until I emailed the courier company to find out WTF was going on. Magically got delivered the next day.

Clove then sent it to samsung for repair the same day, and its been with them around ~2 weeks. So I sent clove an email last night, because I wasn't sure how long samsung usually take with the warranty stuff. Apparantly not normaly this long :(.

FML.

Buckled and cracked. Spoke to some people about it, but apparently it's very hard to fix. They'll probably have to put the centre into a new rim. So they can go in the shed for a while I guess. The new rims seem to be a multi stud. I'm hoping they will also fit a 5x100 pcd so I can keep them when I sell the car and not have wasted my money.

The new rims are ANZ brand.

Ouch... :( probably not worth it with the trispokes then, since the center is welded to the outer.

Pic/link?

    • 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.
