Its the OLNY ONE I GOT I AM GONNA FRAME IT BUDDY!!!

So what is wrong with your BOV?

nothing....I just don't like to attract attention, and I have been reading that they actually hinder performance unless you have a highly modified engine

Sup?

Just got back from yet another Venture to Brisbane..

I wanna take back everything I said about Aresspeed, If ound out they wernt at fault .. it turns out it was soem little ****ing shit that works there that was ripping off the business. I belive he owns 'onboost' or something .. he was scared he was going to loose his job and i susesed out he was rippping off Aresspeed.

Oh well such shit if you loose your job kid.. should think twice before attempting to **** around me and the ocmpany you work for.

On the topic of shit businesses.. i have a bone to pic with Gavin woods, I have addressed this problem and he keeps thrrowing excusese at me as if im some dumb****.. let me tell you about it, and look from a nuetral position and tell me what you think...

U booked my car to be seviced by Gavin, he did so and told me he check all the tyres and the headlights bla bla ... 2 days later I find a near flat tyre and one headlight not working, I put the flat tyre down to my rough driving.. and gave him the benefit of the doubt..

I then took the car back about 2 weeks later saying, something is up with my headlight, you said it was fine but 2 days later it wasnt working and i cant figure out why, can you look at it

he then proceeded to charge me when i came back and informs me my hi/low beam needs to be replaced and i should by a brand new one ($200) .. i made sure it was the hi/lo stalk and right or wrong he said hes checked everying its the hi/lo beam .. thats exactly what it is..

I chose to get back to him on buying a brand new part as $200 was a bit rich, and he told me not to goto a wreckes as i need a brand new part, i think came across one of these switches for $50 so i thaught i would try it out to see if it was the hi/lo switch like he said .. i puleld apart my steerign column and installed the new one .. and guess what .. no difference. after a few hours of thinking i decided i couldnt find the problem.

i then decided to check the headlights ..a nd after all this team i discover it was a blown globe.

no my beef is, Gavin is 'apparently' the god of skyline mechanics as you will have all read the thread abotu how good his work shop is.

Yet such a professional guy that knows everythign about skylines gave me false information..

he told me he had checked everythign and the problem was the hi/lo switch .. nothing else THAT was the exact problem...

yet after all that money and shit it turns out it was a simple blown globe.

my question is .. if he is so good, how can he not tell the difference between a perfectly working switch and a blown globe.

got me puzzeled?

    • 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 elongate 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?   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 
    • 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
