ey ash u F*** :) after my hard work till 3am i extracted those videos for him from my digital camera and sent them too him but hes too cool to mention that :somesmileyforthismoodhere:

I have shitloads of the other group, as in like 10 or more of those short videos per person it just takes time to extract them and convert so mayb like free SAU membership and i can get them all done :O

Well done on the vids Dale.. credit where credit's due. Oh, and can you make your sig pic a little bigger? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what type of car that is and who drives it :bahaha:

hahahaha kinks :D

Ash: I just uploaded the pic and it worked ;P

Where are you getting all this footage? Any videos of anyone else other than Ash? gts4 was doing well all day, Brendan did a classy drift down the back in the morning session (anyone capture that one?), Ken (aKira) somehow got his R33 GTR drifting - God only knows how, I was in that car for a couple of laps and that thing stuck to the ground like glue compared to my car.

Jason in the end must have perfected the 180/360. I bet his girlfriend was feeling sick at the end of the day :)

Could I have a copy of one of my efforts later in the day please Dale?

Brendan - can my gfs sister's bf sit in my car for the next event? he isn't old enough to have his license yet but has always wanted to have a ride in my car.

just wondering what type of helmet it was that we needed.....do we need a motorbike, full face helmet, or will a std bike helmet suffice?

I'm borrowing a full face motor bike helmet off my mechanic. I would think a pushbike helmet would be out of the question.

I'm pretty sure Aaron recomended no passengers for the next day as it is high speed.

Motocycle helmet OK - Full face - no open face.

Long pants, Shoes

Long sleeved shirt recomended.

thats cool, i went and bought a motorbike helmet....the cheapest ones they had were $170 from the motorbike shop on epping road, cnr of centenial ave. theres a few designs/sizes left, but not too many, if anyones interested/needs one.

My passenger has pulled out so its only me.

Hope I can find a helmet in time.

    • 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.
