Yeah oh well So Glenn, who's turn is it for next week, hey what about you PhatMirage, I remember you not minding organising something for next week, you still up for it?

(check my palm-top) its Team Gold Coast's turn next week issit it :(

i reckon its best we split the pack up into smaller groups. say we have about 20 cars or so and the leader/organiser picks/nominate 3 other drivers to lead smaller packs of maybe 5-8 cars.

was brainstorming last night at the shed and realised that i should have pick at least 2 other guys to lead as well so that everyone can arrive safely at the destination albeit in different time.

juz an idea.

Yeah thought about that one too, but then it just involved too much effort for me to get up off my lazy ass and ask 4-5 other people, which is why I thought the "buddy" system works good, plus radios, and hey presto, even though we went through about a million sets of lights and still could not hear you on the radio, we still all made it there in one piece!

Organising 4-5 other "leaders" and breaking up the pack is a good idea, if you could be bothered and if you could find 4-5 people to do it. But then you'd have a lot of chatter on the radio on who is at the back of which group turning where and maybe a bit confsing, Just have someone right at the back with a decent radio and who makes sure no one gets left behind, a job I thought I did pretty well with the help of Erin, prolly without her, it would have made my job harder as my plea's for directions and updates on where to turn where and asking everyone to slow up _might_ have gone unoticed :D

Key points:

1. Always keep a skyline in your rearveiw mirror

2. Always have someone appointed last in the queue, with a radio who knows where to go and can call out to someone in the pack who is listening to slow down or ask for directions.

Easy peasy!

Yep... Well done Ska and NismoGirl...

Guess what Ska? You just nominated yourself for last in the pack at every cruise... :)

You clearly can't handle the pressure at the front!!! :devfu:

Yeah I dont mind, I am looking at buying a in car though, want the range, and a guy here at work seems to think he can get a deal on them, so might do a group buy if anyone else is interested.

NismoGirl what type of antennae have you got, I had a look at PhatMirage's and it's pretty cool, dunno if I really want one of those big ass areials hanging off the bonnet, but guess the bigger it is the better the range........but at what cost :D

Yeah I dont mind being last, just as long as someone listens to me when I call out to slow down I am more than happy to follow :D

Bloody hell it's been a crap day, and I am still at friggin work, BAH time to go home and whore from there!! :D

afternoon...

i was looking at my rims trying to figure out what size thet are, they have r16's on it .. and i was thinking that it was a 15" rim and not 16"

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • 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!  
    • 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 
    • 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.
