Hi All,

I thought I would introduce myself, the names Nick and I've recently purchased a White Stagea Series 2 RS4S. Will post pics soon!

I purchased this car late last year off Indy as IS Motor Racing, I've known Indy for a long time as he helped me build and tune my old Evo 8MR.

When I picked up the Stagea it was close to stock bar a few small mods r34 GTT brakes and wheels, Cusco coilovers, HKS catback and rear camber arms (unknown brand). I couldn't just leave it like this so I started modding straight away.

So far I have changed the front and rear sways + links to whiteline items and Indicators to Nismo smoked type.

I have also purchased a few other bits n' bobs I'm currently fitting or modifying:

Factory electric Leather seats which I'm in the process of wiring in - no loom on the RS4S for this unfortunately (Fairly easy job to fix anyway) Will take photos of the process and post DIY.
HDI FMIC kit - need to have an exhaust shop make up another pipe so I don't have to cut under the battery tray. - Any recommendations where to get this done in Sydney?

3" dump pipe

3" cat - spare off my old evo, need to get an exhaust shop cut and re-weld the flanges

DAYZ front bumper - I have cut out the numberplate mount and the vertical running supports to give it a wide mouth look and I am now in the process of cleaning up the holes left by these by filling with fibreglass, I have been taking photos of the process and will provide DIY once finished.

Also since buying the Stagea I have cleaned up the yellowing headlights, and given it a good detail - which was subsequently ruined the next day when it rained "typical".

After all this is done the next job is removing that pesky HICAS using a Driftworks HICAS removal kit and get some wheels without the weak offset and width of the GTT wheels. For a wagon especially after coming from a Evo I'm quite surprised how well it handles.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      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.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      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.
