HAHAHAHAHAHA..... sometimes Alan you say the funniest things :)

OI OI! LOL! You can blame Mav for my stupidity this time!

The guy who drives a silver Rex (sorry dont know your name, hence the original post) was sat in front of me last night (next to Daniel) and both Daniel and Snowy were referring to a "Jack" and looking in my direction last night. Now I am Alan, Scott was next to me and Justin the otherside. I didnt see who was behind me so thought possibly the guy in front who I recognise from DECA and Winton with the silver Rex, might be the same guy with the yellow 240.

I also thought Dane drove a 240Z?

Sorry, just trying to piece people and cars together and sometimes my guess work is out the window.

Anyway, you bunch of comedians................... :)

Reason for wanting to know is, I thought I saw the guy with the silver rex driving a green liberty near my place a couple of weeks back and wanted to see if indeed it was the same guy and if he lived in the area. :P

Crikey! :P

Dane drives the widebody 180sx.

MEH! I give up!lol, I am off to join a sychronised swimming club, less cars and drivers to remember, knowing my luck I will forget my car tonight and get busted trying to get into someone elses. :laugh:

I hereby would like to suggest we do a thread with members names and their cars (all of their cars that they might be at an SAU event in) minus the plates and a picture of them with it for moorons like myself :D

No - the guy with the silver rex is in QLD currently and his name is Funboy.

The guy next to Daniel was Jack. Hell - you can even see him in the video driving the yellow 240z. lol

If funboy is the one I am thinking of (most likely not!lol) then he is Aaron from Rampants mate with the MYO4 rex? If yes then I thought he was the same guy who was in front of me (Jack). My appolgies then as that was where I was getting confused. :laugh:

BTW, Ive still got two copies left of the video on DVD-Video. They include some of my other TorrentialReign films as well. So if anyone is interested in grabing a full quality copy of the film plus some extra vids, let me know.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
