Hey Guys,

My name is Scott. I've just moved to Perth from New Zealand. Back home I was driving a Turbo Toyota MR2 and have definitely been bitten by the turbo+rear wheel drive bug. I was beginning get a bit of track time under my belt at home. Once I start working here I'm hoping to get another car to use on the track but this time I thought I'd go with something with the engine in the front. So I'll eventually be looking for an R32 gts-t or gts25-t as I've always liked them but never had one. ANyway I thought I'd introduce myself as I'll probably be lurking the forums for a while doing my research before buying one.

Cheers Guys.

Yes welcome Scott to the SAU Forums

Hope you get a neat clean low-Km well-serviced TLC'd undamaged R32 to your liking!!!

Do you drive like Andrew whatshisname that keeps winning Targa NZ?

Yeah If I could get a neat clean low-Km well-serviced TLC'd undamaged R32 I would be stoked. And reasonably un-modified would be nice too. I think it's going to be a long search.

Well like I said I was beggining to get a bit of track time under my belt but that all came to a rather abrupt halt. My skillls weren't anything flash, although I once got fastest MR2 at a street car day that the MR2 club went on :down: , I was just out there to have a good time and to learn. The last track day I did was in April this year. At the start of the day my car looked like this:

But by the end of the day it looked like this:

Oh well, I'll try not to emulate that on a future warm-up lap. :blink:

Great footage tho'

What camera setup are you using?

It wasn't a warm-up lap. On those days you do one warm-up lap early in the morning and then each time you do a run you're free to go full tilt from the blocks. That was late in the day and I'd already had plenty of uneventful outings. It doesn't look fast in the video but I was doing 100-110ish when I went off.

The camera is just my we Canon handheld it was gaffa taped down to the centre console between the seats.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      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.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      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.
