Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. I just got back to NSW from a week in Melbourne with family.

Just so happens I was on the Hume, in Victoria, overtaking a couple of trucks doing around 110kms in my missus I30. Next thing you know a R33 flys up my ass doing about 140kms thinking that he can sit up there about 3cms to push me doing his speed. I wasn't going to have it so I slowed down to 100kms to match the truck's speed, and he really hated it. When I let him go, he thought it be a great idea to cut the truck and then me off, to then brake to cause and accident. Well lucky I had my wits about me and didn't but slowing down to 60kms in the right hand lane of the Hume is the best idea this guy had.

I really don't care, what really gets me is that the truck drivers were parsing me for doing what I did and no doubtlessly thinking another dick head in a skyline. Things like that ruin out reputation and being a proud owner of a better skyline then this bloke (r32 gtr) it hurts.

So if anyone sees this guy, don't be afraid to tell him to f**k off to a commode and stop ruining our reputation. I will be posting this in the ACT and NSW forums because no doubt he was off to summernats.

The car is a blue r33 gtst with a white flame decal on the bonnet and stupid cartoon fast and furious crap down the sides. And the license is Ytb 465 Vic plates.

To the dickhead if he is on here, piss off and stop giving us a bad name, and feel free to contact me, because I wouldn't mind your name so I can get the cops involved.

As an R33 GTS-T owner, I find myself living life in envy of R32 GTR owners. I've tried to compensate for it - gorgeous women, money, designer clothes, the tastiest fillet mignon in the land - no avail. I hope that one day I may at least sample the kind of lifestyle that owning an R32 GTR must entail. I'm not greedy, all I want is a taste, so that I can at least relate on some level when R32 GTR owners pull up alongside lesser vehicles, such as the later model R33 GTS-T, or say, a Murcielago. OP, I would drag my balls over half a mile of broken glass and tobasco sauce just to hear you fart through a walkie talkie.

I'm sure there is a Skyline owner somewhere ranting about a lunatic in an i30 that didn't keep left, on the Hume Hwy of all roads. Perhaps he even called the local police stating that said i30 created an unnecessarily dangerous situation whilst breaking the law.

Being stuck beside a truck is the last place you want to be...

I dont condone the actions of the skyline driver

But nothing pisses me off more than people hogging the right hand lane, doesnt matter if your doing 150 in the right hand lane, if someone is coming up behind you move over to the left. Its common courtesy and the law.

Oh how I agree.

Slowing down in the right lane makes me want to press the nos button and smash into them

There is no point in reporting him to the Police, They will tell you to report it to the "Hoon Hotline" or some such nonsense.

Im a supervisor at a call centre where we do afterhours escalations, Dr's paging, Emergency management + insurance claims. We ALSO take calls for "1800NOHOON" & the Casey Hoon Hotline.

I'll tell you right now that nothing gets done as the same bored old people call through the same shit all the time, After working there for 2.5 years i have also noted that around 80% of the calls are for Commodores and around 5% for Skylines.

The local station gets a report of these calls, I'm pretty sure they just file it all.

    • 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.
