Congrats on your new V35 Brenton, it's an excellent car for under $20k :)

Thanks George. Pretty wrapped with it so far! A bit less powerful than my R33 but still goes alright. :P Sounds really nice as well as it has a full nismo exhaust on it. It's stupid comfy as well because it has Nimso suspension compared to the 33 which was on coils. The previous owner in Japan must've been a Nismo nut as there's goodies all over it haha. I'm just about to do a full fluid flush on her as well and make sure everything is as it should be.

On another note, If we are to do a V meet sometime seeing as a fair few people have shown interest in it what works best for people? Friday, Saturday or Sunday and morning, noon or night?

How does everyone feel about something like Saturday the 26th or the 3rd at like 6pm to 7pm? Meet somewhere like the undercover part of Burnside Village shopping centre to accomodate people from both North and South of the city? Let me know thoughts people. Will try and make something so everyone can attend.

Saturday nights are good for me 7pm+ and Burnside Village is always good, it's a lovely suburb that's central... and not a Kmart car park :)

Sounds like you 'lucked out' Brenton and bought a real gem, I'm keen as mustard to see as I have a real soft spot for V-Series Nissan's :D

Just as I'm interested in seeing your car, it will be interesting to see who's curious to see V36.

Honestly, I loooooooove white V36 sedans. Just a touch out of my price range so I 'settled' for the next step down. :P

And yeah, I imported it through Iron Chef, I didn't even know it had all these goodies until after I bought it so I can't really complain.

That is the BEST feeling when seeing your fresh JDM import for the first time!

I had no idea my V36 Skyline had Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Adjustable Coilover Suspension fitted... and boy was I happy (without knowing it at the time) - my first car (out of 14 that I've owned to date) with aftermarket suspension... and it's brilliant! I'm sold.

PS: Yes, white V36 sedans are very nice... but surely blaaaaaaaack are too? ;)

Ohh most definately! :P Also, Snap! I just ordered custom plates when I did the rego last week. You stole my second plate choice! :O We're almost going to have the same, I ended up ordering 'V350GT' in black/silver square front and rear. Haha, hopefully they're here before we do this meet so we can park next to each other. :D

except they suck to keep pristine :)

Ohh don't you know it. Mine is silver so I don't seem to have that problem. Mine also has paint protection from over in Japan so that helps a bit.

My V35 Coupe 350GT was Silver and was immaculate regardless of rain or shine... she just looked great!

Joolz, you called it! ...My V36 Sedan is immaculate whilst it's raining... when it's dark... and when it's... yep that's pretty much it.

...Dust 'occurs' within moments of a wash \ dry \ wax \ polish... etc. My plan of attack for a car meet is to wash the car straight before, drive slowly to the meet to maintain the highest level of water on the vehicle, and hope the meet's over before the water dries and the inevitable dust appears...

PS: I've had the plates 350GT for over a year, snap ;) well done on the V350GT plates though... if you don't have them on your V35 by the time of our meet - I will be bitterly disappointed... :P

Haha, I know the feels of having a black car. Only one of my 4 cars were black, the other 3 were/is silver. :P Maybe we should just help you out by meeting at a car wash? :rofl2:

And it's not up to me, if it were I would already have them by now. I ordered them last monday when I did the rego so hopefully they will be here sometime during this week.

My 370gt will be my first black car and also the last black car.~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I did not choose to have a black.

The time and effort put into maintain just insane~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wellllll, it does look amazing when it is clean.

    • 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.
    • 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.
