Saw LadyBytes R32 in civic today. Creative parking btw.

Your federals are going to wear out if you keep using them for normal street driving though :D

Not so creative... I had Steady Eddy with me... he's good for getting the good car parks LOL actually, I have secure parking at work and felt nervous with it out there.

Federals are good for street... soft but not too soft... I think they're good for around 13000ish k's

In an R32 GTR you can expect about the 12 - 13,000km from 595RS, which isnt to bad considering how soft they are, but the problem is that your slowly degrading the tread compound by driving them cold, they are designed to be driven hot, so the more you drive them on the street the less heat cycles your getting into them and in turn you might find that they go a little bit hard after a couple of thousand km's...

That said, if you wear them out you will need to buy more, so go for it, I'll be here when you need another set :D

Funny that, went past at 2:20ish and they were gone when they were actually needed with a ford broken down at the intersection causing all sorts of chaos with idiots cutting lanes to save a precious minute..

Also saw a wrx pinned by an undercover VZ just down the road 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.
