nah i think the prob is the rubber stops havent been replaced - once i get those done and the wheels are aligned and balanced if that doesnt fix it i will look into what else can be done. I acknowledge that lowered cars are bouncy but its nothing like when i first got the car - if i can get it back to that standard a happy girl i will be ;)

mornin adrian..

the ITC we're talking about is the Apexi one.. the Apexi AFC does the same thing - looks way funky but I can't find anywhere to mount them for the flashy light effect.. hehe...

ride is gooooood ;)

is it pretty much standard - i aint hightening it anymore than a few mm's. The stops do make a difference - just where to get them from - i thought cred would of thought to replace them when they did my suspension!

I put mine in the glove box under my SAFC.... get brett to whack it there aswell perhaps? the further away frorm drunk peoples fingers the BETTER!!

niz my mate had them rubber stops in his subaru and they are prone to popping out, coz one of his did so one side of his car was lower then the other it looked wierd! i had a good laugh though! they called spring stoppers aren't they?

cool cool cam ITC sounds boss and i presume when you say AFC you talking bout the old skool 5 knob apexi one?

adrian ;)

yeah they are prone to breaking and wear n tear etc - but i swear they make a difference - well i guess i'll know for shore once i get new ones in to see if that fixes part of the problem. I think that may be the reason my cars front end has decided to sink a bit too ;) I could be way off the mark - but these are my theories.

yeah spring stoppers to help heaps! i was just mentioning how they do pop out maybe your front ones have popped out? if you have some in there already!

yall reckon i should ditch my apexi n1 front pipe and get a 3 inch dump/front made up or just get a dump made up and bolt onto front pipe?

adrian ;)

25GTT - I have a large fist that says "drunk ppl no play with stuff in car" ;)

Adrian - yea.. the old skool ones.. work ok.. the car came with them so they'll do till I decide to upgrade the whole computer..

Niz - pity c-red didn't think to do that, or tell u they may need to do that.. some things don't change maybe? found out mine are std coils and shocks.. my coils have been heated so have thought about changing them, wheels world quoted round $500 for a set of whitelines that would sit the car about 30mm lower.. but with the shocks being nearly 100,000km old i think i'll just hang out and get some cool coilovers.. :D

yeah i wouldve liked coilovers - out of price range tho.

I was actually told by another mechanic exactly what had to be done to my car in great detail - including replacing the stops and stuff. just annoys me these things dont picked up - i mean you've got the car there u might as well do this - makes you extra money while your at it. I shouldve asked but the thing is all the other suspension shops were going to do it as a package so i just thought cred were going to do it as well - cant complain about the price but i wouldve preferred to pay a bit more and get the whole lot done and outta the way. but anyway nbot everything goes to plan.

he was the one i talked to in the first place - its my fault i shouldve asked i know not everyones a mind reader but its just the suspension places did as part of package assumed he would too - its good when i worked in welshpool and it was close to drop my car in but now its too far away to keep going back and getting stuff done - prefer somewherein osb park.

Adrian - why not just get a dump pipe to suit the apexi one? be alot cheaper right?

coilovers are cool.. ;) adjustable stuff is fun... but yea - probably wouldn't waste the $$ on it...

Niz - maybe u should chase jash about it.. he's been pushing to get customers - this could be a good test?

    • 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
