yas were both very lucky, i appreaciate him everyday for being in my life hehe

ok getting all mushy in here

easy there steph lol no :):):kiss: mushie mushie stuff please :laugh:

Ian make sure CF bonnet is ADR approved or Mr plod will be giving u some living with his night stick :laugh: lmao :) Custom Carbon is the only crew I know of that has a few bonnets ADR aproved...

lol yeah food is good mkay

I dont think it is ADR approved.

Is there any way I could get it to be legal? Bonnet pins? Anything I can do to legalise it?

it needs a full frame not just the outter skin + has to go through the ADR's test center to be legal :laugh: thats the only way

As in you have to crash test it.

I have seen this bonnet before tho, I dont think its custom.

yeah well sorta due to the fact that if its not made the right way once it cracks it becomes a knife on the edges & can do more damage to people, lest thats how I under stand the rule

just like the clear tail lights & head lights have a look at some of the crap out there, ADR's approved lights have a set number to say yes these light comply to the ADR rules its the same for every thing

hey shane never seems to work he allways seems to be working on cars...

Hows he do that?

get home at 6pm, have tea and work until ~12pm, if i get on a role ive finished at 4am :laugh:

Maybe I will start droping in on shane to see how hes coming along on his rebuilds

Should keep me entertained for say... I dont know.. the rest of my natural life?

hahah no1 likes a smart ass :)

damm i wish i could find a gf like you.. IanB is a lucky man

I hate being single these days as most of the people i know are attached or married.

troy ur soft, go out, get pissed, shag some random and u'll be fine!

that's the lovely thing with r32's, if its a 1989 model, the CF bonnet ADR doesnt apply :P:D:D:D plus not many people could justify the 3k for an adr approved one :kiss:

plod aside, how dangerous are these things really?

don't have a crash & your fine just don't go trying to smash any land speed records & you'll be fine too would not use bonnet pins on a CF bonnet 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)
