it cheeses me when manufacturers play with the gearbox ratios to get the quickest 0-100km/h times, and then lengthen the final gears for cruising.

similar to top gear shaming cars for being too bumpy on normal roads, but take pride in being the quickest round the track. you're really not supposed to be encouraging car makers to use more and more complicated and unreliable systems to tick as many boxes as possible, make warranties harder to claim due to repair costs and also ruin aftermarket support due to complexity and cost.

rant for the day.

that performance y34

I love driving my 7, just wish the previous owner had taken better care of it...

Interior is very sparse, some parts of it look plasticy and cheap, but when you get up close it's actually decent construction. The Climate Controls really make it look a lot more base-model than it is.

Torque when you put your foot down at 2000rpm in 4th is great compared to the skyline. Obviously it comes onto boost a lot faster, but you don't actually get to enjoy the turbo properly until you're in 3rd because of the short gears...

I'm running 255's all round, so grip is good even with the nangkangs on it atm... When it does wanna get loose on a corner, it feels really weird, but never really gets out of control... Still able to 4 wheel slide in the wet if I dump 2nd out of a corner... Last dyno figures were 175@awkw but they were from years ago so its probably a bit less now. Considering dropping it into RTR for a touch up tune and general health check.

Side Note: Because one of the salespeople here at work is whipped by his ugly as hell ranga wife, and the other guy we have in the factory is quite religious, they are both quite opposed to going to do an installation of the equipment we sell (Scent Branding, Air Pumpbox + Aroma Oil Diffusers) at a certain new customer of ours.

So... I'm off to a "Gallery" for "Men" on King Street to do this installation for them at Midday today... *sigh* Life is hard.

Just a tune and exhaust. 225awkw on the dyno

Stock is about 160-170awkw i think?

thats mad, full exhaust or just like dump/downpipe?

can you PM me what it cost ya / what year it is? (only if you don't mind :)) just interested as to how much it would cost me to change cars.

They do realize that it will probably have fk all women's there at that time?

I know right... Looks like they open the doors at Midday... Boss just called the salesguy and got him to man up and go, since he's in the bloody city today anyway...

back when we were a payment gateway one of our largest customers was adultshop.com.au..

they kept sending samples...

I tried SST on both cars. Both had same power (stock turbo, tuned to about 220awkw) and Ohlin's aftermarket coils.

I did find the SST to be slowish, even on its fastest setup, but I'm a dickhead who spent more on my R34 auto than most people spend on their engine. I was envious of the 6speed and could understand why someone would go the SST over a manual given how short the gears are.

Or at least how short they seemed to me, dat 4 speed life.

But I really liked the evo, punching out of roundabouts on WOT in 1st with the front pulling you out, then shifting into 2nd, and then 3rd to 100 in quick succession was really quite addictive.

Evo X is just.. its a good thing... you can use all its 'good points' on the street. Different to a 400rwkw skyline where you can't utilize its strengths at uh, legal scenarios so well.

Yup all useable power

I find in normal auto mode its a bit clunky. Manual changes in Sports mode feels fine and quick to me

Yup Evo's have supershort gear ratios. Could prob do 6th gear at 60km/h lol

I think i just got ling long 225 tyres on mine

thats mad, full exhaust or just like dump/downpipe?

can you PM me what it cost ya / what year it is? (only if you don't mind :)) just interested as to how much it would cost me to change cars.

Full exhaust im pretty sure

~$30k, 2008 year with about 50k on the odo

They do realize that it will probably have fk all women's there at that time?

Downstairs would be open but upstairs won't, prolly ~10 girls

Plenty of people with nothing better to do on a Thursday arvo and money to burn

Maybe they also don't realise that people who work in the sex industry are also just people?

Like, he's a work guy. Its not like they will be like OH IVE SEEN THIS IN PORN LETS ALL JUMP ON HIS COCK.

Like cmon.

It's so funny how its demonized, when 100% of people on earth got here through countless generations of people enjoying sex back until the dawn of time.

Imagine if people were embarrassed of the fact they eat food, or breathe.

That

Has an amazingly contradictory stigma to it. I know guys who have refused to ever walk into a strip club even for a bucks night...way to let society decide your most personal morals lol

What's wrong with that? You get a gearset that's good around town, competent for a lot of motorsports but isn't screaming it's head of at 4500rpm for 2 hours straight on the highway. Have been tossing up doing a similar sort of box for the RS. ALL of my gearing is stupid tall so it almost always feels like the wrong gear. STi boxes are super short everywhere which considering half my driving is highway is impractical. Late model stuff to run double cone synchros for those not so agricultural feels, nice tight 1-4 set then tallest 5th I can find. Perfect all rounder.

Maybe they also don't realise that people who work in the sex industry are also just people?

Sex on the whole in society actually

Can show people killing people and give it a PG rating, should be good for kids to see

Show a part of the body that half the world's population has and sees on the daily and it's R rated lol, can't let the kids see that

Gearing annoys me in the evo, slow speeds or up hills in peak hour blows... constantly in the wrong gear... in the skyline I could just stay in 2nd and roll along even when traffic varies its speed up and down by 20km/hr

    • 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.
