Oooops said too much :) lol

You did? I think he has no recollection so you're gonna have to go through it again.... :lol:

I think a few people need to take a chill pill.....

BrendanF: What is your solution to this problem? You don't seem to want the endless joke posts of Team Westside in the NSW forum, yet you don't want a dedicated Team Westside forum. How can we get around this?

You also need to realise that the whole Westside thing has nothing to do with geography, it's a group of friends that started in the west & has now spread all over Sydney. It is far from exclusive. The only criteria for joining is that you just wanna have a good time & forget about all the politics that are happening on this board nowadays......

Cereal et al,

I am happy to re-iterate myself once more, so in good faith and without prejudice I will declare my opinion (NOTE: ONLY MY OPINION again, NOTE : not having a go any any person here)

At no point have I ever (EVER EVER) said that there was a problem with the jokes, gay comments and the like in the NSW section. I have repeatedly stated that I enjoy the TW antics. Thus, And yes, it is unfortunate that I haven't been to a TW meet yet so you guys could get to know me a little better. It's not that I don't go to any meets BTW, I have met heaps of nice people at track days, cruzes, dyno days and the likes. (Don't you guys look in the other sections on the forums ?? I have posted heaps of dialog and photos from these times) I will also share with you my understanding (note : understanding and NOT inititiated by me) that the mods felt that the gay/jokes/comments/etc in the NSW were not offensive enough to FORCE TW to initiate the so called private forum. In fact, I think, the majority of folks (like myself) enjoy the TW antics. As you all know I am a mod of the NSW section - Is there ANY incident of my moderation that offended or controlled the TW posts ?? If there is I apologise and would welcome a reference to the offense.

I really find it sad, time consuming and totally unforefilling to have to post these kinds of replys.

My ONLY issue is with any, group or sub group of SAU (except mods, cause u need them) having the privilage to have a private section to them selves on the forums. And I really don't give a toss what ppl are posting in these sections.

There are two solutions to this problem:

1) Give NSW, VIC, WA, ACT, SA, TAS, NT, and all the other sub groups below these , their own private section so they can all be gay/offensive/take the piss etc out our own respective group of friends and buddies..

OR

2) Remove the TW private forum and make it public (with disclaimer if you like)

NOTE TO ALL - I don't say remove the TW section, just make it public, with disclaimer.

Then all groups, states, and sub groups are even and equal. No bitching and quarelling. No secrets to SAU members...

There you go two solutions - anyone got another one that is WIN-WIN ???

I am really really sad , sorry and bemused why this issue has come to the extent of me posting this reply......

Final note to all : If you think I am being un-fair , send a note to Prank, Dino, Minh or any other SAU mods or execs. Or post a poll. What ever comes out of it , that's OK, for I know for myself that I am being fair and just to all SAU members.

Peace, Love and Skylines everyone . . . . . . . .

I agree with cereal's post...

Team Westside is (from what i read on here) simply a bunch of mates sharing good times and stories, jokes etc.

How anyone could be offended by thier material is something i find confusing... There is alot of BS happening in seemingly every other section of the forums... The NSW stuff posted by team westside is always: in good humour, fun, informative and friendly, there is no prejudice/bias or ill feeling... this is not the case with alot of threads outside NSW/ Team Westside...

Thats why i post and read in the NSW threads these days... Because with Team Westside and alot of you NSW guys it aint about ego, where your from, looking big or who has the most posts... Its about the Cars.... Its about having fun....

Thats why I joined here and i respect that more than anything....

Nice one Ryan - please stay asleep !!

Cereal - if there is no Geography involved then why is it Team Westside and not SAU ???

And, if you wanted it left to the mods, why did you ask me to come up with a solution ?? And I gave you two solutions....

Smooth - I think you agreeing with me re TW is fun !! Let's share it with everyone !! Not keep it private.

FFS - if I am alone here, then I QUIT ! ( good one Ryan & TW - you won fellas !!)

It's not my place to argue this issue, so I'm gonna accept whatever decision is made by the moderators.

I will make one last comment though:

You will reach an agreement alot sooner if you stop changing your stance on the issues at hand.

Just one question, and I apologise if I missed this whilst I was in Japan, but I don't understand the reasoning behind making it hidden in the first place?

If people complained about TW thread overtaking the NSW forums (ROFL!), and a seperate forum was made to accomodate them, why make it hidden?

Personally I think TW is part of NSW, and shouldn't be segregated like it is now. I enjoyed reading the funny TW threads.

Thanks Smoothline......

You get the point. Why can't everyone else?

Then why the need to make it Private ???

    • 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 
    • 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.
