Hey guys,

Just thought I'd stop in an introduce myself, I'm John from over in NZ.

Just brought my first Skyline a couple of months ago from over in Japan, first car I've imported so has been a bit of an experience!

Had quite a few mods done to it in Japan; rough list for you...

R33 block, forged, 272 IN & EX cams, adjust cam gears

Nismo LM RR581 Twin turbos

HKS exhaust from dump pipes back

Greddy 150mm thick intercooler

Sard 720cc injectors

OS Giken triple plate clutch

ATS LSD's

Adjustable upper arms etc, heaps of Cusco sway bars

Sard alloy radiator

Trust oil cooler & relocator

Work Emotion CR wheels

Hicas delete

Ignition amplifier

Heaps of electronic bits like gauges etc

Soild mounted gearbox and all sorts of little things like that

HKS F Con V pro, this unforunately got stolen at the docks when it arrived into the country, I have since got insurance however and have replaced it with a Link G4 plug in, went to get it tuned and found it had an exhaust leak, so I had to strip the turbos off, was such a prick of a job that I have scrapped the twin turbos and am in the process of putting a single turbo on it, manifold is being made at the moment for a Bullseye performance S366 Borg Warner turbo, wastegate etc and then a new tune, haven't been able to drive the car yet to i'm dying to get it going!!

Finally a couple of pictures:

    • 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. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
