im use to it.

at the end of the day, the people that 'pwn' me are just miesly gtst drivers :laugh:

oh my god! I can't believe you just said that

GTR attitude is alive and well in QLD doesn't it!!! lol

Just coz you have a GTR does not automatically make you a legend.

aww i think shane is feeling the HEAT of so much pwning.. lets hope he doesn't blow a gasket :laugh:

ok thats enough from me :)

liz what happened to your car?

farken hell isaac ur on fire :P

i must apploud you on your fine efforts *claps hands*

*takes a bow..

ok seriously ive paid out enough.. imagine you're not having the best of weeks so good luck with the repair job

liz what happened to your car?

he's a good shane! I'm sure he can give it out as much as he takes it!

well i spent 3 months and alot of money building a track spec s13 silvia and 10days after we had the engine (s14 engine) and brake (s15 brakes) set up up and running i got rear ended and smashed into the car infront writting the whole thing off :P

hey shane... do you think i should go and take my fuel pump out of the wreck as the fuel tank leaked and there is no petrol in there... should i take it out to preserve it or will it be fine?

nvm...

So... how high can u rev a RB26 safely shane?

7k man on a std one, but the odd rev limiter dance doesnt hurt, if u've got ye ole 2wd switch :laugh:

im assuming ur asking as you like to go for some regular 'spirited drives', i dont know how u drive, but if it were me, i wouldnt go holding the revs at say ~6k+ constant, caus in the end it's gonna shake itself apart

oh my god! I can't believe you just said that

but its true what i said, no gtr owner has 'pwned' me at any stage, yet the gtst owners always find something...

she'll be right :laugh:

P.S if i had knowledge of this issue, of course i wouldnt have left it out of fuel, plus i offered to refund the mula, fool...but serously, have u heard of that happening before? if not, how do others store their used pumps?

:P oh noes :) and you had insurance?

nope.. and I'm so pissed off that I didn't.. but the guy who hit me had insurance.

well i did have insurance.. but only third party property and fire and theft! As it was a track car and I barely drove it on the road .. just this one day, my other car needed to get some work done so I drove the silvia! :laugh:

come down to sydney and i'll set up a few drivers for a pwning!

Dave (who's up in QLD with bunta and anna at the moment) is an insane driver! one of the best!

I had a 2wd switch but I ditched it when I had my tourque split controller installed. Kinda wishing I didnt now however, but apparently taking the fuse out under the dash is much dodgyness and your far better off removing the fuse from under the hood.

hahaha

they just wrap them up, but It hink it's better to keep them submersed to be sure!

I might go and get it.. it'll hopefully get the insurance agents to hurry up if I head in there and start taking parts of the car lol

Thanks for backing me up on that one Shane... :)

Tola ya so Ian :laugh: <<---always wanted to use that :P

yes he was at big dave's place for new years, which i was also there...

although u gotta admit, his machine is quite well sorted! f50's on the front, ap's on the back, amongst other goodies i spied...

but in the end, i'm only 19 with very little spirited driving experience, now b4 ny1 goes flaming me, i'm already booked for the next 2 track days

hows it dodgy? all it does is disable the abs, but all you want rwd for is to do a static burnout at the drags

you've got my attention now liz, how good?

dave? very good! lol

he's a legend! I love him!

yeah but it's easier to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fasst car fast! so as well as his car being sorted, his driving is too! :laugh:

and shane.... you are young and no matter what your driving experiance is now, you'll pick up tips and the like every time you go out!!! Even the smallest things!

    • 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.
