i have just bought an r32 4 door rb20 turbo which is my first turbo it has

*bilstein front shocks

*koni rears

*runs standard boost(at the moment)

*everything on the motor is stock except GTR injectors and GTR radiator stock exhaust runs on 18 inch rims....the rims are stamped in japanese writing so i dont know wat kind of rims they are. Could any one tell me how many kwts my car ruffly has now, and can anyone tell me some good cheap and easy mods to get me started i am currently in the process of getting it dyno tuned. I just wanna do a couple of things first then get it tuned just some ideas would be great and any heads up to cruises would be even better cheers

Hey man

You could get a pod filter so it will let you hear the turbo and induction noise better

Then buy a 3inch exhaust to get a nice beat and let the car have more flow

Also put an intercooler in and then should be able to do a nice tune and make a pretty nice figure on the dyno.

Welcome to the forum, Niran

DONOT put a pod filter on without making/buying a cover for it, it will only suck hot air and you will lose power. Keep your standard air box and just put a quality filter in. Cold air induction if it hasn't got it already.

First make sure your brakes are good.(discs OK, new quality pads, bleed)

Full Service

Suspension(sway bars are the best cheap performance upgrade in my opinion)

Turbo back zorst with high flow cat, (biggest cat you can fit, keep the DB legalish to keep the Police happy and dont use a cannon as they are gay and will attract unwanted attention)

Most parts can be found at wreckers or import yards.

You may even find a good electronic boost controller, if not a cheap bleed valve will do.

FMIC (paint it matt black to avoid being a defect magnet)

Take it in for a tune.

Lots of good websites out there, check this one out for some nice cheap/free mods.

Most importantly, dont drive like a idiot on the street.

    • 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.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • 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.
