haha, i dont believe this... instead of dropping off 1 x garlic bread, we got given 2 x normal garlic breads and 1 x cheesy garlic bread for our inconvenience :rofl:

man uve had a good night..

we ordered a 3pizza combo for $17 then called back 5 mins later and changed the order to 3large and garlci bread and drink for 22 something like that.. went to pick up 15mins later.. and they had the wrong order they gave us the first one.. they checked the computer and saw we had ordered the other deal. so they said have the first 3 pizzas for free.. and we just went lol.

FREE IS FREE yo.

bah, the school holis are too far away.... strike now... uni has only just gone back, so they're all still in party mode, not stressed out with exams etc.

I love the theory behind striking while the iron is hot, but I work in Brisbane Monday to Saturday, and still live on the Sunshine Coast, thus driving as many hours as I work :rofl:

Free time is all but none.

Perhaps a sick “weekend” is on order.. Hmmm long weekend.

It’s true, no one realizes how many hours, kays and fuel you can use driving what I do, until you do it for atleast a week!

Thank god, I drive the swift and not the Lexus.

P.S Brisbane people can’t drive in the rain…

I still have the clippers, I was going to get them out at the dyno day, but with the poor effort from the guy driving my car, not “jumping” it up and over the bump, I had forgotten

we can drive in the rain.. ??

im guessing u rack up 400kms a week or more.? :rofl:

400k, f**k i wish.

more like 1400 incl driving for my job. And that will get higher.

Just worked it out. It’s 117.69 each way, so over 6 days going both ways 1412.16 + the driving I need to do for my job.

So another 200 on top of that number give or take

    • 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)
