Funny you mention Cadwell Park , its not 10 minutes from where I am buying the car :) (the most likely candidate anyway...pending Sunday's inspection.)

Chuckie, are you a local? Anywhere you suggest that could give the car a once over. The people I am speaking with are all miserable and as soon as I call from Australia they are not interestd. More then anything just need a compression check of the engine.

Other pain in the as55 is telegraphic transfer may take up to 3 days so not sure how I can speed up the process other then to withdraw cash and where the fees :(

And yes people, this car is soo trashy and so me.... only a romantic would pay the asking price for this dinosaur :)

edit..scrap that...silly UK. Lincolnshire ... confused it with Lancashire :(

Hi Roy have some mates up bit further but maybe able to give me heads up on a local guy i will ask them,

Look Cadwell is a wonderful track it has the LOT hills a nice JUMP pinch.gif ,cars do FLY lol.not as well as the BIKES do :whistling: ,

i will drop you a PM see what i can do to help you out,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

Just waiting for Police and insurance check...already has AP 6pots and 18" Compomotive wheels, even a matching spare. Even runs pectel ecu, so only the best gear has been used on it..so that means I am on the hunt fir a Pi dash to run with it

oh yeh, thats the plan. Will see if it breaks. Figure that Count bought an S13 from Melb years ago...only for us to pay for it and go straight to PI for the weekend...the thing ran spot on...so have to see if the Cossie can match that performance...there is also a day at lmola this Friday... problem will be getting there if payment takes more then two days to clear

..Good thing to know that insurance companies are carnts no matter which country you are in. Not a single broker or mainstream insurer will cover me due to not being a UK resident, not holding a UK licence or the type of car (or combination of) So knowing they blew me off over the email last week, didnt expect after 5 hours of calling over 12 insurers that I would not have a policy

Snowie, or anyone else...any throughts or experiences when you were looking at exporting your cars over here for giggles. The one thing i didnt count on is in all my previous discussions I had a work permit as was a resident...not the case now....just a lowly gypsy on holidays

Fark, this is the country of club motorsport, classic cars, and students and professional secondment. Cant believe you need to be a UK resident/licenced to get a car. I asked what would happen if I flew over from Ireland and needed to get the car insured until i got back to Ireland and they didnt know :(

    • 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.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • 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.
