yeah there are wankers out there.

yesterday me and my g/f witnessed a 4wd with a bullbar smack into the back of this starlet. starlet drives round corner and pulls over, 4wd sits at intersection for a while, decides no damage to his ride so floors it and goes straight through intersection, we got the plates and caught up with the starlet to give them the details....farkin tossers, who does that? there was 3 of them in the 4wd too, in the middle of sunday arvo, its not like one guy at 2am and he thought noone would see it.. although i was the only one to help the starlet owner out by saying i saw what happened :) theres scum everywhere

Isaac do u have two cannons on your car?

nope bryn its a dual exit exhaust, a bit like the stocker as canons are fugly :) i was originally planning on adding another set on the other side of the car like a m5

When the avalon ran a red light and t boned me while driving dads car, Only one person stopped and he worked for qld department of transport,

the poeple behind me all just drove around me (the car took one and a hlaf months to be fixed by ford )

why would ford be fixing a car let alone an avalon ? :)

EDIT: ohh i get it ur dad drives a ford... sorry i'm whoring atm from my sickbed, already got tomorrow off -my crp and wcc is elevated, and the lymphocytes are pretty reactive :D about the only time working in my job pays off as i do blood tests on myself lol ) barely made it thru today and the parking incident was the last thing i needed :D

Yeah, i love dual exhaust systems they look clean as, like on the FPVs etc

yeah noone stops these days whats wrong with ppl? i admit i've seen accidents and not stopped to give details as a witness as ive been in a hurry on way to work etc.. if you can spare a few minutes its a massive help to ppl, i always think if i had an accident somone would help out :)

yeah,. i was driving my dads (brand new at the time) fairlane to go get him from the airport, and bam, i was about 2 minutes from home and wiped out :D

the guy driving claimed he say no red light, so i was hit at 60kms to the front on drivers side :( car was towed to morayfield, and then to southside at his expense, and 15 grand damage repair for the fairlane :)

i hope he didnt have insurance as he was a jerk

we arent all lab rats lol i dont have a clue what u are suffering from lol

bad case of dementia rofl

hey daz which part of the sun coast are you living in and whats it like , expensive? close to shops etc... i'm toying with the idea of moving up there :)

well i live in kawana, major shopping centre about 1min by car or 10 mins walk. (about 2km away)

housing is getting expensive but i live on beach side of nicklin way which is the major road running from maroochydore to caloundra.

kawna island is a quite new area only across the road from me and up a bit. every where is so acessable here, only 5 mins by car to maroochydore up motor way.

plus QML at buderim isnt far at all, i work in maroochydore not far from where u would work at, and it takes me 10 mins in traffic to work.

you could buy an older house like alot of ppl are doing and renovate it, seem to be the go up here.

    • 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)
