So who actually has a car that runs at the moment?

Think its about time we had a cruise or something. But all depends on who has a car to drive

Nah got no cars except the R32 which does not go cruising.

Yeah its not exactaly a stealth cruiser :P

Was just thinking you still have the NUR33 plates...... What are they going on next? Or are they just wall posters now?

Edited by 89CAL

NUR33 Plates are going on the Drift Car ;)

Got some new goodies for it this week will be putting the engine back together over the next couple of days. Just gotta order the new intake and exhaust manifolds.

All this talk about cars annoys me.. I want to buy another but I don't know what to buy.

Any suggestions?

Buy anything lol, GTR's are good but they come with a very expensive Tax epically R34's just ask Kingy, High Quality aftermarket parts are super expensive (Been there done that) and if not done right has great potential to bite you in the arse hard like any RB engine would. My choice of car at the moment would be Evo IX hands down. Cheap to purchase, cheap to buy parts for and handle anything you can throw at it.

My missus has given me the green light for my next project car 67 - 69 Chevy Camaro Coupe with LS9 conversion Old school car with New School running gear with a JDM style to it, will be a few years before that happens lol. Starting to research how that's gonna go i want a nice weekend cruiser with infinite Nm of torque :woot: .

I got one in Victoria street a few years ago. Never got around to paying it and never heard anything about it again. Maybe just lucky

definitely lucky! it says on the ticket that if its not paid the balance will increase. i have til 11th next month so whatever ill just pay it. still annoying as f**k though

I'm up for a drive for sure, can bring a few more guys with Skylines too.

Buy a V35 Jono :) Leon's missus has just got a white one

Havent seen it in the flesh but it looks pretty damn nice from the photo I've seen

Just copped a f*cking $80 parking fine while i was getting a haircut in victoria street. How can they issue fines when there's only 10 parking spots in the whole street, shits f*cked.

Yeah I got one for parking in the middle of the street outside Hogs Breath once when I was away for about 5 mins getting sushi. It is a loading zone, but they hardly ever patrol that area I think. Just unlucky really

On another note. I emailed Titan motorsport about an ATI balancer for an RB25 and they said there is no such thing and werent interested at all in helping

Emailed another American performance parts shop and they are going to contact ATI or get a custom one made.... lol no idea how expensive that is or if its just like one of the others I've seen which is just a mix of a few different ATI balancers

They won't make one for a RB25 you will need to get one for a RB26

Got a Little Bit done today not a great deal but, picked up some more bits today like a Full Z32 Gearbox Conversion Kit all Machined up ready to bolt up and also got a ATS Triple Plate Clutch for good measure to handle plenty of abuse :rolleyes:.

    • 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)
