So 'the' day has finally came. I now am now gtr-less *insert epic sad face here*. Am leaving the nissan 4 wheelers for a suzuki 2 wheeler. Was going to add a comment about how a gtr isn't the best form of transport for a family man starting out...but neither is a bike...soooo that kinda stuffs that. Anyways, Gabnr's new master's name is Quoc, extremely nice guy and will be joining the forum soon. So fellas, be nice to him as you've all been ever so nice to me.

Quoc ==> beware of the west side boys, they bite, but not hard and are a awesome bunch of guys. Enjoy the forums and your newly aquired car. Ps. forgot to tell you, it's due for it's 2000km service (if you decide you're a weirdo like me and like to spend more time looking after it than driving it).

Hi All,

I have finally found time to join SAU (at work.... shh) . Been busy with a mates wedding, being the best man and all is damn tiring.

Anyway, I am indeed the new proud owner of "gabnr". Been searching around for a car for about 3 months before I found Michael's GTR, been looking between Evo 6, FD's and GTR Skylines.

On the day of inspection I was amazed at how clean the car was and how well it ran. So I pretty much snapped it up straight away.

The only plans for the car is just suspension work/tweaks. Just rest assured that gabnr will be looked after and is in good hands.

Anyway, looking forward to meet some of the SAU members some day.

Cheers :rolleyes:

Mattee welcome to the 2 wheels world of things....

Don't worry mate, you were not the only one to leave the GTR scene for similar reasons!

Bunta-Q i can tell you that 2 years ago when i first saw this car, the owner was a pussy! =D This keeps his car true in the condition you bought it.

Anyways hojak if you ever want to go for a ride PM me i have a 675 and plenty of torque.

*tears* When does the bike come? Any idea what bike your getting? I wanted to get my license sorted over Christmas but not sure if I'll have enough money now :(

Just picked up the bike today. Was hoping to pick the bike up as soon as i sold gabnr to help me forget about selling it, but instead, i had a few weeks to think hard about what i've done. All good now. It's a purple gs500e. leave me alone people, purple is cool.... :(

Man you were supposed to sort your licence out on your birthday, haha. What happened? pro honda in rocklea is sweet. They gave me a 2 for one deal for a two day coarse (as i've never riden before), took a friend, halved the cost, sweet. Paid for my first day, and passed the coarse. Didn't have to pay for the second day. So basically i paid a quater of the retail price of a standard 2 day coarse---mucho cheap, paid like $120 for my licence. Might be a way for you to get it cheap. You got a bike already?

Ended up holding off on the license as uni was hectic and I needed wheels for the pig at the time lol. I'll check them out that sounds like an awesome deal lol. I haven't got a bike yet still saving/ trying to sell the pig. Admittedly I haven't been trying too hard.

    • 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.
