apparently i wasnt showing off or anything, i was just going about normally, when you guys just sped past me and slowed down again.. i was just keeping a mate in sight.. as said earlier i didnt know about the roads. Even when left lane ended i gave signal to merge into right lane but as soon as i started moving in i saw the skyline started to gain speeds again... i didnt mean to do anything. Sorry about that though...i was also not allowed to speed as i was with my wife. i had no issues with any other members.

I lost sight of my mate right after leaving the carpark, where a skyline stopped, i stopped bit ahead and saw a white r34 stopped by to help so i continued. I guess we just a little misunderstanding.... cheers

No excuse for undertaking at a ridiculous speed after a lane ends. that's dangerous and stupid. It's illegal to undertake at all. the op said follow road rules.

Not weighing into the above conversation at all, but actually it is legal to undertake give there are marked lanes, and it is considered safe to do so.

^^^ This is what I saw...

While the showboating by the 2 skylines wasn't excessive what really annoyed me (being stuck behind them) was they'd showboat on the overtaking lanes, driving like the type of dick's they're complaining about, but then when it came to a slight bend (remember this is in the first half) it was all brake lights to well below speed limit... I'm talking bends with no recommended speed reduction signs...

After that I was reallyglad to be in the first group that left the truck stop, these guys knew how to drive!

Overall a fantastic cruise.

It's also dangerous and stupid to take people's account of things as truth.

He said he went into emergency lane after lane ended.

Very well, but this isn't what I'm posting about. Let's review what you said...

It is clearly not illegal to undertake. It is obviously illegal to undertake where there isn't a lane or where there is unmarked lanes. No one would argue that one, it's just common sense.

Okay both were driving like dickheads

I probably should have said that, I thought the three of them were friends the way they were continuously overtaking each other.

But I hate above all else when people living in glass houses throw stones.

He said the the lane was ending so he speed up to try and squeeze in.

Try and do that in front of a cop and see if that's legal.

Obviously you can undertake on highway if someone is in the right lane and going 70km/h other wise everyone would have to stop and go to 70km/h

Let's not get started on the legitimacy or logic of road rules...

For all we know he was just keeping left like he's suppose to, and the guy in the right lane was slowing down due to a slight bend coming up :P relativity's a bitch in these situations.

Dude, take a breath, and actually read.

What I said was that I'm not getting involved in what did/didn't happen. Wasn't there, don't have an opinion.

Do you see the difference in the above posts? That is all I'm trying to convey. You can undertake on the left on marked lanes if safe to do so. End of my point.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
