Ali-turko, dont mean to offend, but people like you are the reason people think skyline drivers are wankers.

No. You're the reason cousins shouldn't marry.

ali-turko didn't do anything wrong - he's new to his car and thought we were talkin bout real products, and if you look at the functions they're damn good products :P

Everyone mods their car how they want it. We can all still laugh about it.

my my, such wit and guile! I really wish you wouldn't talk about your mother like that. I was merely making an observation.

I get a bee in my bonnet when people buy these cars "coz they're kool" and have no idea whatsoever about mechanics. I've driven an r32 GTR, and to tell you the truth, I was overwhelmed by what an amazing vehicle they are; I didn't feel worthy of it at the time I drove it, as I knew that you would need to be fairly switched on to drive it to it's potential. An (89) R32 GTR is also a 16 year old vehicle now, so I would like to think that those who drive them would have an inherent understanding of the goings on under the bonnet, the high likelyhood of something going bang if it's not maintaned to a T, and at least knowing that the turbos will most likely need to be replaced within the first year of ownership.

So that's why I get pissed when some squid with NFI goes out and buys a GTR with no concept of just what an amazing car they are, their heritage, and as one of THE best cars to ever come out of Japan, and wants a swichable 3L kit/ choose any other mod that someone with a clue would at the very least question the feasability of.

There are only so many GTR's in existance, and even fewer in Australia, and they deserve to go to worthy homes, and one day I would like to think that I'll be able to own one, that's if there are any left after so many of them being wrapped around poles or neglected to destruction, by people who buy them for all the wrong reasons.

So Ali, if that doesn't sound like you, I apologise, and at least you were man enough to admit that you made yourself look like a dick, which I do respect. But please, look after your damn GTR, get to know it intimately as they are very special cars that need lots of attention and respect. and for gawds sake, think before you speak, haters thrive on stuff like you said to confirm their beliefs that skyline drivers are wankers with no clue.

my apologies for the hijack. :lol:

Mate,

I think you make some good points and arguments. I too get frustrated with the whole car seen at times. Especially when people pigion hole skyline drivers. You know when you are at a party or whatever and the conversion turns to cars as it often does, on average how long do you think it is before a car conversation turns into a drift or 1/4 mile debate eg,:

Trev: "Mate, my BOV is sooo tuff, you should see how much faster I can run the 1/4 now mate..."

Alex: "Bullsh*t, your BOV sounds sh*t mate. I got a D1 spec drift BOV which sounds way sicker. My ride is sooooo arsy now mate." :lol:

I just try to see the funny side of all of this and like others have said let people do what they want, its not like you can stop them and at least its entertaining.

precisely!!! I just hate the fact that you have to be careful who you tell that you own a skyline, because more often than not, they automatically presume you are "one of those wankers". all because some twat thinks if he buyz a skyline wiv a big arse bov he'll get chikz. I tell ya, it's a hard stereotype type to sway people from.

but yeah, I still have a laugh at their expense, although the joke is completely lost on them. *sigh*

oh well, at least we can see it :lol:

seriously jezzerrr, you need to calm down and take a few deep breaths. ANYONE can buy ANY car they want for WHATEVER reason they want to buy it for. in the end, it is still up to them how hard or soft they drive it, how the modify it, and how they look after it in general. there is no one single individual that cuases a bad name for skyline owners as we all, in some way or another, have contributed....its just not visible in your own eyes. End of the day, you have to deal with it.

BTW, that was a lame mother "joke"

wow, I wish I could be as balanced and diplomatic as you. I know all that, but I'm still entitled to my opinion. did I say "because I think this way, you need to change!" anywhere? no. So what you're saying is, it's not right to be passionate about anything? Because someone buys, say, a Picasso, for the sole intention of laying a big turd on it, an art afficionado should just be cool with that, because "in one way or another we all contribute"? puh-lease.

The joke was meant to be lame. crazily, most mother jokes ARE lame as a rule. probably even more lame than cousin jokes. but thanks for stating the obvious all the same.

Oh and, you have to deal with the type of person I am, because, at the end of the day, we all contribute one way or another, so if people like me weren't around, the balance would be skewed and the universe would implode.

:lol: Honestly dude, unless it's right in front of me, I don't really think about it hey. I dont walk the earth thinking of ways I can rid the world of people that abuse cars. You're right, it is anyones choice what they do with what they buy. when the subject comes up tho, I'll still say what I think, if I feel like saying it. It did, and I did. but anyone is free to tell me I'm a wanker if they truly believe that nothing I have said is legitimate.

Hmm its getting a little to serious for people just giving their opinions dont you think. I agree with both of you, sure its nice if people respected and understood what a good car a gtr is and how to treat it, but on the same token not everyone does know and maybe they do buy a gtr for the "image" or whatever. wldcrd is right, they can do whatever they want... after all its just a car, and its not your car they're doing to.. Try not to get to stressed over something you cant control or you'll die a young man!

I'll make a serious effort at a reply

If you had a 33 gtr then it would be easy....

On a 32, a panel filter will not give you hardly any induction noise.

A pod filter will give you induction noise, but hardly any turbo spooling noise

A ball bearing turbo will give you turbo spooling noise, and a pod filter will give you induction noise. Easy

:D

young my arse! I'm 27 :D 28 next month :):(

meh. it only annoys me when it's right in front of me. other than that i couldn't give two hoots what anyone else does.

yeah who would have thought someone would actually make an electronic BOV. talk about the definition of poser. I mean, i gotta admit, when I had the Magna (now we're talkin) i wondered what it would sound like to have a bov on it, but I couldn't be bothered with the time and money for a turbo setup, but i sure as hell wouldn't have wasted the money on a bloody electric Bov. To tell you the truth now that i've got the noisy bov thing out of my system (by having one for a couple of months), I'm looking at going back to a modded stock airbox and plumb back so it's not so obvious

    • 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.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together
