Tonite was an awesome nite out at the creek with quite a few GTR's, a few GTS-T's and many SAU spectators in the crowd. Me and VISHES got out to EC around 3/4ish and we were in the first few cars to run.

My results of the night weren't anything special. My best time was a 13.1 with a 1.9 60ft time. Last time out I managed a 13.2 with a 2.1 60ft time. What this tells me is that even though my 60ft is getting slightly better my ET is ONLY dropping slightly meaning the car is reaching its currently power potential. Also my MPH seems to be the same between 104-106.

Anyway was awesome. I had 5 runs all up. One I got fouled out. And 4 consistent runs around the 13.1/13.2 mark. I tried launches at 6500, 7000, 7500 and redline with a bit of clutch slip, dumps etc. I found the best method is to slip up the clutch a bit and then dump it. Totally just dumping the clutch at redline DOES NOT work hehe but being the last run of the night I had to try this brake frying technique.

VISHES ran 14's all night long until his VERY last run he cracked a VERY impressive 13.4! :) Very cool VISHES !!

Saw JUDD there but don't know what he got? XCALBR (Black R32 GTR) ran low 13's like me all nite.... and there was another Black R32 with chromes with the plates GDZ11R.

Out of the 5 runs I ran 3 very fast rotors/V8's which were drag spec cars, also raced an E36 M3 which ran a 15.5 (bad driver?) and my final run was against the car formerly with the plates FEELDG... now with the plates GTR8U. He chomped me with an 11.7 run hehe...

My first run, I came up against a V8 Calais (REACTA) which side wayed so bad he posted an 18 second. That was the only victory I had as my other runs considered of 10 second Rotaries!!!!

I tried to transfer my street launch technique to the drag strip. Which didn't work!!! In my last run, I tried something unorthodox and came up short of upsetting Mr Yangsta!!!!!!! hehehehe

Overall I had fun and learned a great deal from dragstrip racing :)

Argh im sitting at home thinking "damnit wednesday night nothing to do i think i'll watch tv" (ended up at a chicks place) yet this time last week i couldn't wait for the EC Drags grrrrrrr. I've never ever seen a Skyline Drag at EC only those stupid Rotaries

    • 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.
