I'm dying to see the footage and photos from the day so hurry up and POST POST POST!!

Thank to all the organisers and officials on the day.

BASS OUT

Wow, holy shit.

That was f**king amazing.

Even though I didn't drive in it, it was bloody amazing.

Good work guys, thanks for the amazing day.

I'll resize/upload the pics after I can move my arms properly.

I have around 2gb of photos to sort through.

What i wanna know is where were all the stageas, that was dissapointing, the hyandai could of had some other wagons to compete with then :) ... btw, congrats on getting 3rd in the slalom beating some more powerful cars :)

apparantly that woman getting married was marrying her brother (coincidently.. her brother is also her dad) i think thats legal now in shepparton :)

anyways had heaps of fun seeing all the cars on the skidpan :) specialy skylines and wrx's go at it :)

only thing i'd do differant next time is douse myself in sunscreen :|

thanks heaps to everyone who organised it :)

For now, I shall leave you with this...

Just got in. What an awesome weekend that was. My first time taking the car on any sort of course so really enjoyed finding the limits of it.

Huge huge thanks to the guys and girls for organising it, Chris, Bec, Blaise for taking time off work Friday to set the course and test things. James for almost losing his voice doing starting on the skid pan. Jarrod and Min for navigating for me so I could go the right way round the cones as the understeer was so bad by the time the car corrected, I couldnt work out which cone to go between!

Thanks to all the marshalls for standing out in the baking sun to ensure we all had a good day.

Really was a fantastic effort by all involved to make the day run smoothly.

Last night was superb and good to see so many rex guys socialising this time. I passed Bris as I was checking out this morning still holding a can having been out all night, the man is an animal!

Massive thanks to all involved and see you at the next one. :)

Thanks to all the marshalls for standing out in the baking sun to ensure we all had a good day.

You're welcome :) Hmm...lots of sunburn... I don't think my excuse for taking friday off is gonna fly...

Who came third in the slalom?

It was the hyundai wasn't it? For the non-awd cars anyway.

we have some vid but have to rip and edit it etc... BIG thanks to all the organisers and marshalls who stood in the sun all day... and of course to the BBQ crew who fed the hungry hoons...

picspicspics... cmon people photoshop is your friend (and I need to replace my avatar as its old and smelly)

Big thanks to those that helped the day run so well. Al you volunteers that stood in the sun all day deserve a big thank you from al us competitors.

Hope those that stayed saturday night had a fun filled evening, i wish i could have stayed but had other commitments.

I had so much fun, the car has never coped such a beating, my clutch is not feeling so good at the moment, but meh you get that.

Hopefully everyone had a ball :)

I know i did... that BBQ is like the ultimate!

Next time ill punch the food out a bit faster as ill be more used to it.

There were 2 really nasty hot spots :)

Good viewing, i was sunburnt bad yesterday but today im just brown :)

    • 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
