Maybe it was just the flamage from a Skyline exhaust they saw but never having seen a car that far north before they thought it was a dragon   :wassup:

ROFL!!! I think you just solved the phenomenon Adam! Those South QLD'ers are gonna be dissapointed when they find out there's no dragons in the Far North!

Yeah, its shit isn't it. You could always do what I did, I flogged off nearly everything I owned on ebay.. suckers paid 3/4 to 4/5 what I paid for them. Bed, washing machine, fridge, tv, etc..

You lose maybe a $200 on each item... but you can move to QLD and buy it all back again brand new :rofl:. Cost me about $1k that way :D

What I had left at the time all fit in the R33 :D

I always though the other idea.. was to rent a budget truck.. for like a few days.. Open up the dash, disconnect the odometer - drive it to wherever with all your stuff, and then plug the odometer back in. Of course this may be highly dodgy / illegal / fraudulant, if you crashed you're in BIG trouble..lol :D

Yeah, I'm thinking about having a garage sale before I go, see how much stuff I can get rid of. Can't fit too much in the 33 LOL! Did you drive up? I'm gonna drive up, should be a pretty cool drive, not looking forward to the stone chips and bugs though!!! I'll give your last suggestion a miss mate! :rofl:

You could also try a few of the forsale forums.. trading post, etc as well. Didn't take me too long actually.

It's surprising what you can fit in a R33.. you can stack up a heap of boxes across the back seat..

You do get a nice collage of bug splatters.. took me months to get the damn bugs outta the front bar and cooler! Stone chips aren't too bad as long as you don't sit up the ass of cars should be right.

just remember don't park at the side of the road and leave the door open :D or this may be the result:

should be right for locus' .. i drove back around xmas time to melb and back, and there were stuff all, except just over the VIC border. I drove just after sunset too... although you do get more bugs at night because they love splattering themselves on the headlights .. the kangas are the things you need to watch out for at dawn/dusk.

locus aren't as bad as they make out, well anyhow, not that I saw..

Hey Lukas - when are you actually leaving???

Hey Bec, I should be outta here within the next 2 weeks. I am heading up there tomorrow for a couple of days, just to sort some stuff out, then back here to sort some more stuff out.... aaaagh, it is a very stressful time at the moment, I just want to go.

"when are you actually leaving???" ... uuummm are you hanging for me to leave or something? hehehe ... I know you'll miss me driving past your house 10 times a day hey?! :D

I am gunna miss your car (& you of course) - I know the noise so well now I can pick your car out a mile away, I hear you coming from the roundabout and I know it's you.

    • 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?
