Yeah financially it's about as close to a sure thing as we're likely to find. The place is ~5 years old but I suspect the previous owners were a bit OCD lol

LOL, thats what ya want. Keep this one and use it to get another later on?

Yeah the market was just starting to slump when I sold mine! As it was I sold to my sister in law's brother so I sold it to him a fair bit cheaper than I would have otherwise, but got a bit extra back by selling a couple of parts separately.

Do I want an AC Schnitzer short shift?

farking tried to punch in my tracking number for couriers please and it didnt work..

Where's a decent keyboard warrior when you want one?

u rang? :sorcerer:

I stopped in a JBC cars at strathpine which are well know to only do high quality performance and collectors cars...

Had a look see at a few and saw this R32 GTR for 15k stock as a rock with no scratchs and the interia looked about right for its age, but yeah 15k is nuts...

He said he just bought a supra out of japan with the works (800hp unit) for under 25k landed, all he has to do is the usuall and you got yourself a 800hp supra for under 30k... The market has fallen to pieces, I asked so hows R34 GTRS going, he said thy are probablly the only car still fetching good money. But he said they do pop up from time to time under 42k FOB which is just nuts...

I hate cars :P

No no i dont :D

So north lakes shopping centre is getting JB Hifi in the new section, hopefully before XMAS :P

Yeah I had to get into the back section of the shopping centre and someone told me I would have to go down the side of the estate and drive back in along one of the service roads, anyway I ened up at the golf course :D

Ordered, the carbon will have to wait however.

whats your model and series year etc?

hahaha

Yeah we went for a look in the new bit of the shopping centre, ended up driving around in between all the piles of steel, scissor lifts, security guards etc lol... they didn't have it fenced off. We made our escape by finding an open gate near the demountables the workers are staying in...

    • 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)
