Does it work? :thumbsup:

No, needs a rebuild.

Anyone who buys a 20 year old rb26 and thinks it does not need a rebuild has rocks in their head.

No point paying $2-4K for a engine that will blow in the near furture.

a wagon to a ute? thats a pretty big difference. I wouldnt do it.

It's kind of like, a guy dating a girl, they break up, n he becomes gay. She turned him. you dont wanna be like that do you?

Why would you go from someone with a big ass booty, to .. umm.. nothing?

Lol dude, most hilarious analogy EVER!

I used to have a VR commodore ute when they were new, and it was the most collosal pain in the arse ever. Sold it, bought an R31 wagon thant I owned for 9 years, 3 writeoffs, 4 sets of rims and a full respray. And I bought a motorbike.

Best decision I ever made; Met my Missus because of the bike, and kept her 'cos I had my povvo wagon (doesn't like showoffs), it possibly even was the inception of my little son, Evan. And of course, now own awesome black Stagea (which my missus thinks is cool)

Moral of the story: Wagons get the chicks :thumbsup: , utes get you going through a carwash at 2:00 in the morning after 5 pissed dickheads get in the tray at closing time at your local pub and refuse to get out unless you "take us home dude".

Don't be that guy :) (or get a hard tonneau cover, like I did, the very next day)

lol i've seen that happen with our audio VAN. we opened the van so we could unload speakers from a club we did sound at. we got back to the van and found two people already butt naked in the back of it.

I pissed myself laughing and said you know what? we'll unload later haha

Dale, I went to take a few snaps of those bell-shaped chillies yesterday, but my old man has already ground them into a past. I opened the jar to get a whiff - it smells damned potent!!!

bell shaped eh? That narrows it down a fair bit actually. They are either going to be habanero's or scotch bonnets. There are a bazillion different varieties of each (and probably twice that many hybrid varieties) but both are usually in the upper end of the heat range.

I would probably put my money on a habanero because the scotch bonnets are notoriously hard to grow for anyone other than a specialist, and most people cant handle the heat of them. - the bhut jolokia (also known as the Ghost Chilli, hottest chilli in the world) is a scotch bonnet...

Hey peeps!

Man, I has been busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking competition. Flat out at work, even busier at home prepping for the onslaught of festivities that befall us this time of year, as well as finishing off my new front garden and tending the buggery out of this years new chilli plants.

Sure dale. I bet youve just been trolling in the wasteland. lol. Good to see you back here. So how is your garden of eden coming along? Those fancy chillis look like absolute priders, I have some trinidad scorpion seeds that I ordered from the US last year, along with

. As you know, very fkn hot man.

I was going to grow them over winter with the aid of a heated propagation tray. Now coming into summer, I think I might just stick them in a pot and give it a go. After travelling to Malaysia and Thailand I reckon I have tasted some of the hottest chillis know to man. I was tired of sayn, not too spicy please. Crazy sweats.

Well I have finally completed the part's list for the new motor.....and apparently the new motor will arrive today!

Also finish getting my old motor apart yesterday....Melted piston! :)

Pft - I have eaten the worlds hottest chilli, and it was nuthin :ermm:

OK, it made me cry like a little girl, but the endorphin rush was unfknblvble.

Dude, that'll buff...

Oh wait, no it won't. Carry on, then.

Today, after 2 months of waiting (the last week and a half waiting for DOT was unbearable) I finally got to pick my new baby up.

Wow!! I'm in love. The leather is mint, sound system sounds fantastic (surprised as I'm fairly certain its all stock) and drives beautifully (my fears coil-overs would be spine shattering were unfounded it seems).

(she's the white S2)

My only complaint is the exhaust. It's mid-muffler back and drones something awful. Looks like I'm on the market for a decent replacement.

Installed digital TV tuner to Eclipse head unit

Fixed missing wire on OBD2 connector so InfoMeter would work

Swapped wires on auto shift lever so forward is change down and pull back is change up - now I don't have to look at the + & - to remind me, it all feels natural.

Vacuum and shampoo for the carpets (Qld cruise tomorrow)

Not bad for half a days work. Thanks to Jacob (my son) for helping his old man.

mine has refused to start the past week.

not sure whats wrong with it .. either starter or shift lock sensor.

Sounds like you cooked the starter, doesn't take long to kill it.

Could be your fuel pump, or possibly the immobiliser causing the original issue?

almost killed mine.

was running hard on the dyno being tuned when oil pressure light came on. investigation underneath shows hge leak from the sump.

it appears the proengines 3l adapter plate expands at a different rate to the block, resulting in the sealer breaking and a major leak.

motor out to fix the sump

    • 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.
