Yeh seen your car before leigh when cruising with Beza one night with the JDMCOP and JUCY 180 a couple of weeks back, all good though already have a c/f bonnet on order atm

Cheers though, good luck with the sale, was lookin at the style bonnet you've got a while back but didnt get it

If this means anything...don't forget to get some bonnet pins on there...this is a must...although it may or may not happen...without my bonnet pins, I really cannot drive without stressing that it will fly upwards and hit my windscreen...worth investing in...

Isn't the original bonnet latch strong enough to hold it down?

from all accounts on here it seems to be that the CF bonnets dont have as much ribbing or rigidity as the stock metal item, so the original bonnet latch is strong enough to hold the front middle section of the CF bonnet but the bonnet flexes when it gets wind under it at speed and front corners lift up...

got the aerocatch latches from vsport.com.au so the cars in ready to be fitted, as for c/f bonnet no longer need one as I've got one now

Cheers guys

as for latch, some ppl have had bonnets pop up and hit their windscreen, not necessarily everyone but its just better option to fit them rather than risk it for $100

Isn't the original bonnet latch strong enough to hold it down?

In theory yes...but because they are so lite and don't always fit tightly like the stock ones do...all it takes is constant airflow and a bit of bad luck and bang - you not only get your bonnet cracked but also your windscreen - not cheap to say the least...plus, can potentially be dangerous too...imagine driving at 100 km/h plus and then the bonnet flies upwards and hits you right in the glass...

I wouldn't definitely pay the $240 and get it fitted properly too!

    • 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.
