yeh, i had just bought the car so i still had all the RWC stuff in the glovebox. but now on i have a folder with ADR rules, emissions test, DB test (both emisions and DB were done on a stock 33 at courtneys work)

so im kinda covered if i get pulled up.

Being 'prepared' is good :kiss:

"yes officer of course its stock" :pirate:

isnt it true that in qld they dont do emmissions tests?

Not sure.

LOL karen its handy..... lol i dont have a cat either... 3inch dump to 3.5 all the way just to a cannon... :pirate:

cops will still fine you and make you PROVE that your car is legal etc. Other wise everyone would just go and get a copy of the adr's, a DB test and road worthy, drop in all the mods and be sweet forever.....ppl always forget the police have the power to fine anyone for pretty much anything and its then up to you to prove them wrong. Innocent until proven guilty...not in regards to transport fines.

Meh so far so good.

Ask Marc how deafing my R33's "pipe" exhaust was :pirate: and that is with a bike helmet on!

i've run just a dump pipe before (only for fun), its freaking loud!! Its hard to realise how low your car is revving because of how loud it is. On the second 33 I had a straight exhaust with trust cannon and a ex wastegate atmo vented, it was pretty loud too when I was up it. I like loud cars...but its not real stealthy!

eeek :pirate:

that exhaust would be damn noisy

You should have heard my big power R32 with straight pipes and venting gate... Now that was loud haha.

We got 130db out of dads Porsche once, DB meter wouldnt read any higher, exhaust shop their one maxed out at 130 lol

Hi Matt :pirate: How's the Lexarse treating you?

pretty good, im enjoying the comfort and being able to drive next to a cop without thinking of a story to tell when he pulls me up. But im also thinking about how long my car would be off the road should I opt for the enging conversion 1j option. For now its nice though.

    • 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)
