hey mate

nice clean ride and i like the gramlights for somthing different. they suit it.

im a big fan of the garden edging. on one of the bars i used it on i added some brackets to kick the rear out to blen in with the wheels a little.

example

yeha everyone loves the bunnings lip.....so cheap for the results it is great....

i like the bracket idea DJrift....as they do pull in quite a bit......i guess it shows the wheel width of a bit....

plans for the car is to be of a all rounder.....i really really enjoy drifting so that will be the main focus.......70% drift, 29% circuit 1% drag..

ill only go to the drags with a few friends for some fun....i would love to slide it every oppurtunity i get......

little update

ok lowered it a little more in the front.....about 2 cms...not much....but it was just a trial so i know how much adjustment on the coilover gives me how much more low in regards to body moving downward....

here are some quick pics...

big updates coming....

It's running well. Needs injectors and PFC installed and tuned. Is gangsta now. On actuator boost it runs better then the standard turbo on 14psi.

Is fun.

The modified water line is a bit dodgy ATM. Had to cut the original water line and clamp the new flexible line to it. Needs a flare.

Have a look at Nistune...Ap-Engineering RB20 PFC's are pretty rare these days

Alright haven't updated in a little bit.

Sold a few bits and pieces off. Including PFC, AFM and injectors. Needed the money for a overseas trip me and my girl are going on.

On another note. Car is booked for unigroup this coming Friday. For a timing and boost tune.

If your interested in buying my gram lights get at me as I'm currency considering selling them and getting some r33 GTR wheels.

    • 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.
