Yes its open to everyone.At present im still waiting for the form to be emailed to me.As soon as i get it all people who have PMd me will receive it.5 people have emailed me so PLEASE GET IN QUICK!

Dont miss out on this great day of driving.

OK Guys here is an update,

I have sent forms out to about 8 people now and im waiting to here back from you all.We need to get a resonable amount of people to send the forms and pay before the 22nd of dec.If by some chance you cannot do it by then,you will have to send the forms to James @ driving solutions completed via email.But still pay your money to Australian Racing Drivers Club which is on the form.

I stress that we cant leave it to late so all forms must be sent in and paid by the end of this year.If you want you can call James directly and work something out with him.His number is 0404 888 525 tell him you are with the skylines car club.

My form and payment has just been sent,so dont leave me hanging guys cause i cant wait for this day to come.

Im excited :dry:

Any probs just PM me.

CHEERS

Dave

OK i have had conformation from two people that have sent their forms off.Still waiting to hear from some people.All people who definatley want to come please PM me and let me know what your plans are regarding payment and when you will be sending your forms.Need to hear from you all ASAP.

CHEERS

Guys,

I have just received an email from driving solutions.If they dont get completed forms by 10am friday then the day will be cancelled.A few people including myself have sent forms in and will be very dissapointed if the rest of you dont send your forms in.PLEASE PM me everyone who is going and ill try and extend the deadline.

i am going away to honoloulu this week so ill b back on the second on january...

so its on the 6th ... confirm...pm me plz.

opps.

Me and my mate will email the forms in tomorrow.

Guys please call James at driving solutions and tell him you guys are a definate.Cause he migh pull the plug if he doesnt hear from you.I dont want that to happen.

EVERYONE WHO IS COMING PLEASE CALL JAMES AT DRIVING SOLUTIONS TODAY!!! AND TELL HIM YOU ARE COMING.

HIS NUMBER IS 040488525.PEOPLE ARNT GIVING ME ANY INFO ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING.PLEASE ADVISE ME ON YOUR SITUATION OTHERWISE THE DAY WONT HAPPEN.

ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS INCLUDING MYSELF AND I WOULD HATE TO THINK ONE OR TWO PEOPLE WOULD RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE.

CHEERS

    • 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)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
