yes.

okay, for the past few months i have been getting the motor to run right and pretty much cleaning the old girl up for a rwc

found a mint R32 GTR drivers seat thanks to my mate up in newcastle.

back onto the rwc issue. it is SO f**king hard to actually get one in victoria... the tester wanted all the interior trims to be put back in, but overlooked the 3" exhaust, stretched 225s and height. wtf

sup niggas.

no updates lately as i have been swamped with work.

at the moment the car is sitting tidy on the BBS RS'

i tried to get a dodgey rwc but no luck, so ill take it into the shop up the road and see what needs changing and change shit, then take it into epping kmart tyre and auto(they dont know shit about cars lol)

i have parted with the RB30 block.

reason being it wouldnt be worth building.

the alternative is across the ditch in the land of sheep f**kers.

yes, RIPS.

a forged RIPS short block would work out to be about 7.5k AUD excluding shipping and tax.

that includes stock balanced crank etc, collar, billet rods, pistons etc, blue printed, oil pumps.

so all i have to do is buy a head, reco it, throw in some cams, slap it on + turbos etc and tune it.

i know youre all dying for pics.

but ill be a cock tease and let you all wait till i do the feature and throw some pictures from there onto here.

yes, i said feature.

complete RB26 just popped up for the right price, has a spun bearing with minimal damage, so checking it out tonight and if its all sweet ill put a deposit.

rips cratey looks to be on hold for now, ill run the 26 till she blows.

    • 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.
