had drift prac last night...borrowed one of pauls coilovers, cheers mate!, so was running different coils left and right lol, car felt amazing with the new diff/ratio + 17 inch tyres... had heaps of grip and speed. was brilliant to drive! had a few close tandems and near misses. however dec's in the Garage 7 missle was chasing me on one lap and rubbed thro brake lines and tagged me in the rear 1/4... keep going cause it didnt seem so bad. then in another session i was chasing him down and then he looped suddenly on turn 2 and i had no where to go and we collided.. in the same panel! only a tad worse now lol :(

not a fan of the flairs on the front. are you able to get wider fiberglass s14-180 front guards?

and are you going to go back to 18s on the back or cant you get that style of rims in size for realistic $$$$

these are the ONLY guards you can get.. and they are suppose to be 20mm wider but i think they are stock. had no choice but to run the flares and gut the guards away to give me the clearance i needed. im not entirly sold on them myself but i think once painted they should be sweet.

i still have my VS-XX's in 18's and i will be rotating between two pairs of 17's and one pair of 18's. the 17's actually gave me MORE grip so its defo not a step backwards... plus tyres are cheaper :D

forklift mechanic... i dont make much.

i do a lot of work after hours on peoples cars which helps. im a mechanic by trade, along with auto elec.

all work is done my byself or with the help of good mates which makes all the difference.

yeah gonna go GTX i think!

Mongrel :nyaanyaa:

I have been looking at them thinking I WANT ONE, but then i just gotta get mine running.... Are they a direct swap? I imagine all the lines etc remain the same?

yeah direct swap mate. the CHRA is the same, the wheels and front housing is different thats all.

If you run the same rear size can you do a back to back comparison????? :yes:

There are plenty of comparisons on US cars etc.... But none for our sort of beasts....

I'd be really keen to see the improvements in spool, power, torque etc...

Man great work !

So is your RB un-opened? with that massive power? how does your 3rd gear pull when drifting or kicking the clutch?

sometimes when i kick it out in 3rd gear it dies down unless im not giving it hard enough? cheers man.

    • 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.
