Nah, 13 is not too bad, at higher revs you want it to lean off a bit, that is were you can make some real power gains, too lean and bang. 12.0-12.8 is usually about right, and quite safe. Too lean is bad for all engines, not just R32 GTS.

See'ya:burnout:

old trick i have never done it...but heard about it...couldnt be took good but when travelling along kill the ignition and keep foot to floor then start car again. maybe it is just for carbie motors..but meant to send to 20foot flame and loud bang out the back. :-D

alternatively the new apexi PFC has misfire system, (anti-lagg) so u can set it up to burn excess fuel in the turbos and it apparently shoots flames out the exhaust..even with a cat?

mine pops and crackles like a bowl of rice bubbles. I love it, only had flames twice(i still run cats) from my exhaust. What we've done though is richen up my top end and a bit under trailing throttle to preserve engine on speed runs(depending on tempt its a safe guard of it leaning out to much).

The pops can be heard on my launching videos on my website when i lift off gives a bit pop pop crackle pop. :)

Got car booked in today to get a leak fixed(at the flange after extractors/before cats) and a balance pipe put in(deeper note hopefully) but also to get a cat replacement pipe made up for track days. No-one has wanted to make me up a set of screamer pipes yet ;)

I'd love a set, straight off the extractors exiting out the sides.. My old auto ute used to run hi flow cats(proper 1's with enlarged entries/exits etc and not a gutted cat) and it was loud as hell.. popped and crackled a bit(hadnt fiddled with ecu at time) but also droned alot less in cabin due to the cat not causing restriction.

Personally if you want to run without a cat, get a replacement pipe made up for track/drag work and "accidently" leave it on at times.. but dont be suprised when you get reamed if caught.. Alternative would be get some cats, gut them and fit them yourself.. no exhaust shop wants to touch the cats as if they do, they cop a $25,000 fine or there abouts(i've asked em :P). Overall though be careful, while its legal in some countries(nz, various states in USA) its highly illegal in australia.

A mate of mine has an R33 GTS-T with no cat and a big fuel reg. It drags flame about 2-3 feet for a few seconds after backing off at high rpm. We were standing in the Nasho at the 35 corner watching each other do fly bys. Locals at Stanwell wen't too happy!

Have the external waste gate pointing to the road I say. Shoot the flames onto the bitumen.

My setup is just like this, but the flames came out the exhaust after letting off the throttle. Never from the wastgate (that I was told). Nice blue flames too, (that I was told) and a couple nices pops. No cat by the way.

Put cat in, stopped the flames.

An old very nice looking chev gets around these parts and must have the switch to do the flames. He quite often drives past us and lets them go. We first saw it on the highway, he heard us talking on the UHF and then put on a show.

    • 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
