sitting on the docks all by its lonesome in the cold...

the bloody morons that organise the approvals reckon they sent it on the 30th but it still hasnt arrived... so thats delayed it and gives the wankers at the docks more time to thrash it around and ravage it.

i not trying to worry you Inark but alot of the cars imported are cained when there landed. A importer friend of mine in QLD is currently filming the prick becuase he imported a car in perfect mech condition and it came off the ship with a rod threw the side of the block and he had to wear the price of a rebuild. Hopefully he fries these pricks with no respect.

BTW good luck your car is awesome

Ni

I always used containers to ship cars after a few things got lifted. Doesn't get opened until the customs agent arrives so your babies can never be mistreated or ripped.

Also doesn't cost much extra and container ships run more often thar car carriers so car arrives sooner :D

i think yours is being roll on-rolled off ni, costs $950 or something... so what happened did the agent forget to load it on the ship or did j-spec forget to organise it to be loaded?

Disregard all i have said about the lovely people at the ministry of transportation... it was stupid sisters fault.

I moved house and it was being sent to my old address where my sister and her 3 children live and one of the kids kept getting the mail and jamming it behind her draws! theres also notices in there where id got a parking fine which are now blown out to 200!!! god damn it.

dude, i have a feeling our cars were on the same ship! Land sat morning, 17th? - My RAWs import approval was approved 9th July, mailed out 12th July at the compliance place hasn't got it yet!!!! :P We don't know what is happening, if this goes on much longer, i'm going to have to pay to keep it at the dock. AUST POST ARE THE SLACKEST PIECES OF SHIT!!!!

I pray that both our cars are unmolested ni. I wanted to get a picture of the odometer before it left, so i could see (minus roll on/off) if it's been driven. I can't believe ppl let this shit slide at the wharfs.

/prays further for import approval to arrive

:)

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
