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.

    • 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.
