Hey guys

i got a blue slip for my car now, and all i need to do is go for a identity check on the booking sheet it says for 'raws" vechiles which my car is, it was imported last year and registered in queensland for 6 months now im trying to register it in nsw anywayz... it goes for raws vechile on the booking sheet a vechile inspection certificate is needed the guy i bought my car of didnt give me that and is gone now, i rang up dotars and they should they dont give them out anymore and they can just check it on the net like its all done electronically, so i was just wondering if this would be sufficient? or are they real d*cks there

aswell i still got my air filter with air flow meter still in there, ive taken of the BOV and changed exhaust all that to get my blue slip, but would they defect me at the pits if they see my air filter or reject my inspection?

just wondering how they are there cheers :)

are you going to just have the car checked to see if its numbers are correct and match etc? vin and engine, chassis etc??

if so they wont defect you there, i know someone that works for the rta on a car reburthing unit. he checks the numbers to see if there stolen etc, and for signs of reburthing(spelling).

He tells storys of things like a mirage with a evo engine that are un engineered etc, but all they care about is that its not stolen..

so if your having it checked out like i think you are you should be right.

I passed a trip to the pits and a blue slip with pod filters on the GTR...

problem was, the guys at the pits kept asking me where my green plate was, i told them it was a 15yr import and showed them the import approval sheet (with vin# on it) and the engineers cert and they still sent me for a blue slip because they "didn't have time to look over my entire engineers certificate"

the reality was they had no idea what they where doing at all. This is also evident because they missed the fact that my mate had a completely different engine to what the car came with, no engineers cert or change on the rego etc and they didn't even notice. MORONS!!!

im pretty sure its only to check if the numbers are correct because on the blue slip paper it has a stamp that says "subject for rta identity check" so im guessing its only numbers, i rang up the rta technical enquires and the guy knew nothing at all

im hoping i should be sweet cause i dont have an engineers certificate cause i didnt need it as it was registered as a raws vechile, but as i said before i dont have the vechile inspection certificate but it can be checked on the net anyway on the dotars website, hopefully there not bas*tards about it

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      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.
