Hey guys, better make it about mid January, we might, just might be able to bring the new toy.

We got at auction today. YAHOOOO!!! :PBJ: :huh:

post-30601-1163851230.jpgpost-30601-1163851246.jpg

Comes with this... aero kit, 18s, black leather, xenon lights, wood combination steering and wood panel, exhaust, aero mirrors, keyless and spare key, seat heater, (very useful for those cold Perth days, yeah right), dash mount TV.

Now all we have to do is get it here and pay for it!!

:P

dude - I was stoked to find mine without the bottom lip because my preferences have always been towards no kit...until I saw the piccys of yours

That thing is HAWT!!!

Well done!

And my preference for the cruise is definitely for very early January - I have to at least have time to get a CD player into the green machine, and with the dvd player already there, even the kids won't mind coming for a cruise.

(just to drag the thread kicking and screaming back in line.....)

;) thats a hot lookin stag!!!!! congrats mate!! ... how long before you expect to recieve it?

Thanks for the compliments......... just shows you what you can find if you look. I'll start a separte post on "spotted" after the photos arrive.

It will be in Nagoya on Thursday. Where it will have a full inspection and lots of photos taken. Then after they receive the dosh, they'll ship it. Hmmm Next ship to Brisbane, 2 weeks tops. Compliance 1 week, (they reckon)

and then shipping to Freo. This is likely to be the biggest wait. I'd say 4 -6 weeks. The off to licensing here. So may not make it in time for an early Jan cruise, (just to make sure that we STAY on topic) :D , and having said that, any ideas of where we should go?

Here's mine.....

Mandurah

Whiteman Park (can go here in March as the Classic Car show should be on then)

One of the dams

Toodyay or other historic town..... dont forget that it'll likely be hot, so close to the coast might be best. :happy:

hahaha nice car..love the colour - very rare and would have cost a fortune for that :happy: good stuff will look forward to seeing all the new additions to wa when they get here ;)

Lets get back on topic about the cruise...the cruise will actually be a southish cruise due to the fact we had a northie cruise (its only fair)

I think we should make a poll on what type of cruise ppl want and where ppl want the destination to be...if you have any suggestions or ideas put them up in a post, will put it in a poll and we will all vote!

What would people prefer a January or February cruise (allowing ppl who dont have their cars yet or dont have their cars running yet to make it) through your ideas out here and we will go from there!

preference will be 14/15 Jan - hopefully by then the wallet would have recovered from the christmas shock....and if my safc gets fitted tomorrow...am definately hoping for better fuel economy...so distance wont become an issue

Mandurah..sounds like fun esp if could organise some sort of treasure hunt

Nah mandurah is not far enough for me :P.. I say the hills.. Lake Leschanaultia...something like that, where there is water to swim, room to move and something to cook on.

Hey Kylie

You can always meet the northerners at Hillaries and cruise back with them. That should be far enough!! I was going to suggest Rockingham, but thought that that would be too close!

Lake Leschanautia woud be ok though, but dont think I'd be swimming there.

Nah mandurah is not far enough for me :P.. I say the hills.. Lake Leschanaultia...something like that, where there is water to swim, room to move and something to cook on.

Further than mandurah!! :P ..my kids have a 15 minute attention span....it'll be hard enough for me to get to mandurah without any bloodshed in the car

Lake Lashanaultia sounds good tho....how do u pronounce that?

Lake Leschenaultia is a manmade lake constructed in 1897 for the West Australian Government Railway, to water Steam Engines at the Chidlow Well Station.

Nowadays it is a recreation area ideal for family and group outings, plenty of barbeques, sandy beaches, grassed areas, and pleasant and easy walks. Wildflowers can be seen in season. A kiosk, Stokers Cafe is open Wednesday through Sunday and Public Holidays. It can seat up to 60 people. Canoe hire is available when the shop is open.

In the interest of water quality, pets are not permitted.

Group areas may be reserved for a fee by phoning the Ranger.

The Myriad of Wildflowers and fresh growth flower during September until October all over the 600 acres of parkland.

A five year development plan has been set in motion to broaden the Park's recreational scope, and with $250,000 already spent, the early fruits are evident.

Address Rosedale Road, Chidlow, 6556

Phone 08 9572 4248

Facilities BBQ Facilities, Cafe, Picnic Area

Opening Times Daily

Activities Canoeing, Swimming, Walking

Tariffs $6 per car

Hey c'mon guys

Lets start getting this organised, so we all have a much notice as poss.

Looks like there is a possibility that I might have the new stag by 2nd week Jan.

So I don't care where we go. I'll just want to DRIVE, DRIVE DRIVE. Or maybe just sit close by and Drool over it.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
