Nice cruise fella's, was enjoyable :).

At the beginning i was the white 32 Gts-t (avator :)) that disappeared, was following the tail end then a cop went through the round about just after the expressway, after that we followed a white 33, but then no idea where people went, as we saw cars go two directions....

However...funny thing was, my mate and myself were cruising back down on the outskirts of the city, thinking you were heading to town via Gorge rd, when we saw you guys pulling out of that street onto it!!! That must be the luckiest thing for myself ever!!! lol..and we'll back in the middle of it.

Cheers Pete for waiting, even though i think that alot of us had no chance on earth of keeping up, besides the red 33 ;) . Btw..the reason i pulled over to the side of the road so quickly was due to my gear knob coming off!!!! and in those tight bends wasnt the best feeling!

Cheers again, and thanks for the great time, hope to catchya soon!

ps. Just a quick note, brother and myself took a while after the stop near the summit as he wasnt sure about his tyre pressures and it seemd like one of his were flat :P... just incase you were wondering where the 2 R32's went :P. Cheers for the waves when we saw you guys parked :P

Daaaaaammmn, thats all I can say... besides thanks for takin me Dan!!!!

I don't really think the calais would've been, um, up to it...

Oh yeh, and after all that, the only cop for the night that I saw was the one that breatho'd me when I got back into Gawler at 4 in the morning on freakin Calton Rd... Ah well, at least there's no law against too much caffeine...

Anytime Simo..... Sorry about the slight scare with the gear knob... i wasnt sure whether for some strange reason i had a box full of neutrals! :) Thankfully that wasnt the case..... hehe... lucky there isnt a law for that ey? 'Grande' lol.... call it large for crying out loud!!!! :)

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • 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)
