Can I ask why?

Having stuffed around with fitting a non oem booster and relocating the clutch master on my car (not a Skyline) I'd suggest you could be in for a world of trouble. In particular, setting up the brake pedal so it will still actuate the booster in its new position whilst maintaining acceptable pedal feel might be fun.

That said, anything is possible and if its only a few mm it might not be too hard.

yeh i would maybe need to move it over 5cm max...

its not definate that i will need to move it because im getting a new plenum am im thinking it might not fit just wondering.......

I'd be making the plenum to suit the car, rather than modifying the car to suit the plenum.

5cm is what I would consider a lot. Sticking your head under the dash would probably give you a good idea of the degree of difficulty...

changing the brake booster setup would take you a week non stop working on it to get it all working properly! head aches plus!!

modifying the plenum would take about 3 hours at the most, less headaches and it wouldn't effect the power at all, you choose which way you wana go with it..

u could spend a bomb on inboard Willwood Pedal sets.. and do away with all of your standard pedals and slave/master cylinders completely..... u know like ..similar to how the V8supercars have their inboard pedals setup on the floor

but thats MASSIVE amounts of work... repositioning the seat ..filling up holes ..fitting new pedals.. engineers cert.. etc etc

GTR-BEN

i just received the design of the plenum and i think the clutch booster is now my Problem it may be in the way about 2 cm's or so...

What can i do ? if i remove it what changes?

just a question... why are you having a plenum such that it is going to cause clearance issues?

would a decent plenum and a decent designer be able to make the plenum and accomodate for the clutch and brake boosters??

how about a Greddy plenum ?

I have a greddy plenum sitting right next to me...But the car will be making over 1000hp so i will need something bigger and less restrictive...

The person making the plenum is not in this country....But thats not a real issue as he has the mesurements and some parts i sent up...

The only thing is to do a custom large plenum the clutch booster is in the way..But things are working out as we just need to tone down the rear size of the plenum and shorten the runners :)

Anyways i still might have to remove and relocate the clutch booster so any one know whats the best way ?

    • 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 elongate 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?   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 
    • 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
