A lot of people including myself have been involved in car accidents. I'm glad no one was hurt but one thing that most of us take away from an accident like this is a lesson, you on the other hand don’t seem to be. If you have had that many accident in high powered cars what does this tell you? DONT DRIVE THEM! Do yourself a favor and go and do a defensive or extreme driving course, let them sort you out before you kill yourself or someone else and next time you go to press the "fast" peddle, before you do think of what MIGHT and HAS happened hey? Remember, you car isn’t a playstation on wheels, save the hero tactics for GT3!

Working your way up is so important. I am 19 and in a month when I finish building my VL Calais with rb20det it should have >220rwkw. People may say that this is too much power for a 19yo. Well my first car was a VL (NA) and my brothers mates taught me to drive (and the correct ways and places if you need to be a little silly). I drove 15hrs a week on my L's. When I got my P's I drove this car and was a pizza hut driver and drover 25+hrs/week. Then came the calais with rb20 and 130rwkw, drove it a lot and with the minispool had A LOT of respect for it and what can happen, one the spool let go and i bent a control arm,

thank GOD noone was around.

When I get the car back again I treat it like learning to drive again, because essentially getting more power / a different car to me is about learning again. You must be one with your car, know its limits and respect it. But far more importantly you must respect the road and everyone else who uses it including bystanders.

I recommend a Suzuki 800 hatchback as your next car, I had one as a shitter and the top speed was 90km/h ... great car but get in an accident and you will be squashed like a tin can.

Sorry for the life story rant but I just do want to let you all know that younger people will (nearly) ALWAYS be doing silly things. Its the maturity that is needed to decide where/when you will "experiment". A race track is PERFECT!

Good luck with the rest of your life Mines_Datsun because in my opinion you need to move on to a different hobby. I recommend lawn bowls.

I think it's a wake-up call for everyone. You have to overlook the fact it was a GT-R and focus on the fact that it was only doing about 70km/h. That can be done in just about any car, regardless of whether it's high performance or not. Would the responce have been the same if he was driving a GTS...?

i know what you mean dude ive droven a gtr for 7,000km's :D . not much but allot for most gtr's in not even half a year of ownership.

A "whole" 7,000km, man you must know everything by now about driving one of the world's fastest road cars!

Hmm, here is food for thought:

Would you *trust* a pilot with "a few months flying experience" to fly you and 200 other passengers on a jet plane from Sydney to London?

Would you *trust* a bloke who has "fired off a few rounds" to shoot a tin can off your hand from 20metres?

Would you *trust* a bus driver who had "a few days driving a truck" driving you around at high speed?

Would you trust an oil tanker operator who had driven "a few tinnies" into Sydney Harbour?

Would you *trust* a cop to save your life if held hostage by some crazy gunman?

Would you *trust* a lifesaver who "knew how to swim" from saving you drowning at a beach?

Would you *trust* a skydiver who was taking you for a tandem jump who said "oh, i've had 10 jumps by myself, its ok, i can take you safely from 10,000feet"

What makes you think driving a highly powerful sportscar is any different to any of the above situations? All of them take years of experience to properly master and lessen the odds of something bad happening. Sure you might survive, but the risks are greater than an experienced person in the same situation.

I wish the RTA would just ban all turbo and high performance cars for P-Platers.

It would solve alot of problems IMO.

I agree!! A power to weight rating for the first 5 years or something.

I've been saying that for years!

it wasn't 70km/h. The impact was at around 70, he said he was redlining 2nd gear which is a lot more than 70km/h

I don't think that restricting the types of cars young people drive will make a huge difference. Not only are there a lot of people who aren't on their P's who drive like idiots, but also you can speed in just about any car. Sure, a GT-R will go faster, but as i said before, he was doing 70 (or impacted at). Even your average Holden Barina can do that speed. and 110km/h can be achieved by most cars too... What im saying is that if people want to drive like idiots, they will regardless of the car they are in.

My GTR will hit 110+ in 2nd gear.

Cameron - I know what you are saying, I have lost 1 point in my years of driving and have never had an accident, but that being said, i wouldn't have minded some sort of car restriction (probably because i couldn't afford much more than my VC commodore!:) ) for the first few years.

      FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Watermouse · Posted

      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!

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      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

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.
