nah man. gotta have the stag in the shot

Unbef*kINlievable!!!

While cruising with my mate in his nice supra, i suggested we go to this location to take few snaps with my camera. So we got to the Watergardens shopping center, did a few laps trying to find this location and eventually did.

So, parked the car, got the camera out, about to snap a pic, i noticed a guard but i thought nothing of it.

SO i turned back, got into position to take a pic, when security guard (boldie) decided to yell rudely "what ya doing mate no pictures in shopping center"...So i said "what you mean its my car, im not doing anythign wrong" bla bla, started being rude, so did i, exchanged colourful words, drove slowly off without rush. He wrote my mates plates down and i told him to shuve it where they fit and get a read job.

So pissed off as we were NOT doing anything wrong, i called Sunshine poilce station to verify what i thought was true, which is, i am allowed to take pictures in public places such as shops, especially of my car.

Guard was a wanker so if anyone decides to go there, you can take pictures! He has no right, dumb security tossa.

I so wanted to go back and take 10000 pictures to rub it in but my mate didnt want to, oh well his car so i didnt wanna push the issue.

Fkn pissed off :P

If I ever go there I will bring one of my girls along.

If the guard gives me any shit then just get my friend to show a bit of cleavage. He'd be like "There's no problem here. Carry on :D "

HAHAH, well as soon as there is "cleavage" around, there is no problems, everyone is happy, nice and friendly while starring...I don't think the guard in question has ever seen anything like that before, he will let you take picture inside Safeway, between two isles, anything for a bit of cleavage.

yeah? maybe it was security guard. me and my mates been there multiple times. never have had a problem. guards even come out and check out our cars. one time awhile back our group organised a meetup there. thought it would've been small but word got around. we asked watergardens in advanced though anyway. they approved as long as no hooning and loud music blah blah blah. guards seems all cool about it, had a few standing around checking out the cars and all. mind you about 100 odd cars came that night.

If you're heading to the Western suburbs at night time, perhaps take a few photos underneath the Bolte Bridge. There is some grass/turf on the ground floor that you can park your car on and the lights look great with long exposure shots.

I dont know what you guys did that night or what you guys did to him but this guy was angry with the world. Didnt even bother to TRY to be nice about it, basically told me where to go... lol

ok guys i have a rough plan. just gotta go scope it out. not sure at the mo if im gonna include watergardens in this one or not.

basically meet at chaddy (very similar to watergardens - had a look today), take pics, cruise up (princess hwy. dunno how smart this is)to sth melb, take pics, from there to the docklands, more pics in bout 4 diff spots, then either continue to WG or i was thinking of going to garage cafe who are SAUVIC sponsors to end the night. i'll do a new thread once i get it all sorted cos i can edit my shit later.

thoughts?

oh and whaddya rekon sauvic official event or not? im leaning not

If I ever go there I will bring one of my girls along.

    • 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.
    • 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
