Hi all, got myself a 400R end of last year. Few tasteful mods done so far. Love the thing. Has anyone got any suggestions for sourcing bodykit parts for them over here???

Welcome to SAU, and I doubt anyone has anything in stock in Aus (so, importing something from Japan will be the go, but pricey). Also the ADM and JDM cars have different front and rear bumpers so anything that fits locals won't fit imports

Cheers, yeah it was recently imported, is the actual Nissan not an Infiniti so will have to do some chasing around for parts. 

 

Any ideas if the side skirts from a Q50 would fit on the 400r?

Hey Mate , I suggest doing a search on eBay , they have a few kits that fit Q50 and might fit with a few modifications on a 400r.

Quick Update on the 400r , AMS race downpipe installed . vey raspy sounding exhaust . (not sure if a like it, maybe need to get used to it if not might have to look at a resonated set in the future)

It has now done a trip to TuneHouse , the team over there did a good job managed to do a safe tune at 310kw @ the Wheels , however I'll have to look at better tyres to make the most of it.

Interested to see any videos of this or on the dyno. Mine currently has HKS secondary cats i am undecided if I want to remove them.

What did it set you back to get the tube done? And what mods have you got to get that power? I was looking at a racebox flash tune but maybe a proper tune would be better if these guys are good.

Mate , this is the current mods list

Current Mods list (Installed)

ECUTEK tune form TuneHouse in Sydney .(Just over 2k)

The car came with HKS - Power Editor but I had it removed for the full tune.

I would say if you are using the car for street diving a proper tune would be better.

That's sick, thanks for that, mine has much the same mods on a 400R. I just don't have the heat exchanger yet.

 

Might be worth a trip down the M1 to Syndey for a tune.

That's some useful information to have , it would be great if we had more local suppliers .

I went with Racebox for my tuning because they have a good rep and many VR30 customers. Even though the car is mechanically standard they were excellent; 7 rounds of tuning including some specific things I asked for like throttle mapping with no issues.

Alternatively, I bought the dongle and tuning licenses from Tunehouse (the Australian distributor) because I'd like local support for any problems and want to support local businesses where practical. I didn't go with the for the actual tune because they only do on dyno custom tuning (which is a pain for me for a standard car when I'm hours away).

Note everyone I spoke to locks their tunes, so once you start with someone you have to restart from scratch if you are not happy with them in the future which was a big downer for Ecutek in my opinion.

Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down.

I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes.

Cheers - Dee

Yeah I have the same mods but no heat exchange too. Had my local exhaust guy fix the the awful sound it makes when you put on downpipes or High Flow Cats.

I'm looking at a tune too but I'm thinking getting a LSD first. 

I got some Michelin pilot Sport 4s but that was a long time ago and need a new set soon.

Tyres, Tune, Heat exchange and LSD. Money money money 💰 💰 💰

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
