Ok, Page 9.. Are we done yet?

Apart from the fact that 90% of you have driven a holden at one time or a nother and 1% of you have driven a GTR R35, I think the mods should lock this thread as its already fked up beyond all recognition...

I think you'll find that a lot of people on this site have driven something as fast as a stock 35, most of us can appreciate the "instant loss of licence acceleration issue".

If you daily drove a comparatively "underpowered" LS1 vehicle would it be more "fun" and "safer" than a 35.

Most likely.

That's what this thread is about yes?

Or no?

Either way, the R32 was the best GTR ever made by Nissan.

You asked for the evidence and I supplied it. If you want to ignore it's up to you. No skin off my nose. Again I repeat it was advice given to a poster that said his mates hit the limiter regularly. Fact is there is a body of evidence out there that there are known issues with the design. No need for personal attacks or denigration, but again if that's what floats your boat then go ahead. I suppose you are loyal to your engine builder and so you should be, but then again I am not going to dispute my builders wisdom either especially when his advice is consistent with the body of evidence that exists which is in line with his observations in his 20 years of experience.

Again if people define fun as being in a family sedan with a body kit and big engine and doing burnouts on demand then get a HSV but if you are more inclined to enjoy the purity of driving in a purpose built race inspired vehicle that will inspire you on all emotional and physical levels then a gtr is for you. Not just the 35 but any gtr because they are all phenomenal vehicles that will out-perform any falcommodore super car on every level.

See there you go again with the 'burnouts' thing again. That must be why no HSV clubs do track days etc etc. I think you need to get off your high horse about GT-Rs. Funny, I'd make the same comments you made about the GT-R about my LS powered Commodore.

That's a really cool story about what your builder reckons, but again it's contrary to the majority. I even deconstructed your so called "evidence", unrelated material, advertorials and backwater forums do not a compelling case make. I've said SEVERAL TIMES that nearly every engine that is being revved hard has at least a valve spring upgrade, and doubly so if cammed or using forced induction. Again the only issues like what you claim are common that I've seen were in a VX LS1 that was on its last legs from abuse.

It's not personal attacks or denigration, it's the fact that your arguments are half arsed.

It's becoming fairly apparent that a lot of you have never driven a late model HSV, hence the stereotyping of them as a bogan skid pig rig.

    • 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.
    • 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
