I'll poke him up the arse with me chopsticks...hang on he might like that. I'll have to think of something else.

Hey Ed, how are you involved with SAU? Are you and the DR like on the board or what's the deal? How do I become a member? A "Skylines Australia" sticker would look sik on my Echo, across the bonnet. What ya think? LOL

Franky, repayments on the car would differ greatly due to the tax implications that a specific salary would provide. Obviously the tax benefits of someone on 20 k Vs 90 k would be quite different.

Cost would also differ greatly on the KM's being travelled in the vehicle as well as the budgets set for seriving and tyres (which would directly relate to the KM's travelled) ....

When you say average km's and services I use ?? Not 100 % sure what you mean buddy .... are you talking about the intervals to which I would budget the car for servicing ?

Lemme know ...

Kool, I picked up my door shell and front guard from Just Jap today so should be back on the road soon :P Took two trips tho, they gave me a driver side door and a passenger side guard ... didn't notice till I got home as the guard was in bubble wrap so we had to make two trips ... ffel like a bit of an idot for not noticing :lol:

    • 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. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
