my flat mate has a evo.... well is that the 4 door turbo'd lansers? gsr or something!?

close, the gsr lancer only came out with a 1.8L turbo engine the genuine evo lancers came with 2.0L 4G63 motors. but all are 4wd. what people do is grab the gsr and kit them up to look like a genuine evo.

Both.

Pikie, woody an co ect.

Hey Chris and haydos, i finally got on here with my slow ass dial up, till i move house.

yeah i bought the 32 4dr pretty happy with it too.

pretty sure i recall nismo boy (josh) too, met you through pikie and his bro tim, a long time ago when i was with nina, got a new missus now as you know and of course the little one .. she is doing fine.

Yeah i was at all dominos from noosa to mooloolaba, long time ago now. any hoo.

we dont have to keep bringing up when i drifted into the parked cars do we... come on guys ... it was a worhty drift.... for a while. LOL

Hey buddy,did you used to have a black r32 with the plates 27OEY?

Anyway, if thats you my mate knows ya ad i think i've met ya before..

Nice ride, saw you go past the other night, tried to catch you to have a closer look but the lights got me then you whee gone, ohh well, go the dish!

no , that was jason. i have known him for ages, used to play inline hockey together. he lives in brisbane now. im pretty sure he's still got "27OEY" last time i seen him.

Yeah we drive to bris and back every day for our jobs with energex.

better then staying in the shithole accomodation they got for us.

beauty of it is they pay us for every km we drive and all the time we are in the car.

cool as. my cousin works for a company who lay power cable for energex in bris. i think it's called "agility" anyway, he lives in kallangur.

also spotted "FLI81" subaru gt forester on gympie tce in noosa today. pretty nice car, seen it before though) and i saw michelle's old subaru liberty green with the gold mags. :D but the best car i saw today was at the sugar rd roundabout on the back of a tow truck, a jza80 supra similar to this one JZA80_3_Gallery.jpg on the back of a tow truck heading down towards wises rd. looked pretty tough. any1 know who owns it??

WOO HOO! Any damage on it yet? The dude who bought it was young and apparently just wrote off his first car (commie). :)

done a search without much results, but where do you guys get your cars tuned? getting an ecu and deciding on what to get based on what i can get tuned. i'm in gympie and one shop can tune wolf, but they are a bit dodgey. i have a mate who can road tune wolf (version 3 and 4) haltech and microtech. he's done a few and has the tuning programs on his laptop. otherwise i'm looking at a power fc and getting him to road tune it and just stick it on the dyno to double check the afr's. i wouldn't mind if i had to go down there to get someone to do it, just have to find a way to get off work as i run a business.

Chapmans in noosa tune power fc's quite well i have been told, so it would be worth the drive down to get the fc tuned in noosa, alot safer than a road tune.

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
