good cruise, bit long though for a late depart

seemed a bit long winded going from karrinyup via balga to morley? etc..

most people seemed to use common sense out on the roads, which was good to see.

was good to put a few more faces to names, had a good chat with mr keets.. nice erratic driving and flames on leach hwy :)

half the fun was 578963495694 people following us without a map, lucky we didnt lead you astray :)

The first leg of the cruise was great but we didn't know many people and got bored hanging around the South Street traino (bus stop?) so we bailed for bubble tea in northbridge.

That was my first SAUWA cruise and if you didn't pick it up I was driving the midnight purple 32 with the FROOZOG plates.

Edit: I'll probably put up pics of my pig after the URAS bodykit goes on.

Hey Everyone

Thanks to those who attended. I heard it was posted on a few other websites hence the reason for the huge number of cars and lack of maps :(

Merry Christmas!

THE SAUWA TEAM

Thanks again guys...sorry I forgot to acknowledge Tash

"... mr keets.. nice erratic driving and flames on leach hwy :teehee:

half the fun was 578963495694 people following us without a map, lucky we didnt lead you astray :P"

Erratic...mmm no it was all carefully planned :D Glad you enjoyed the light show.

Map??? :O It was nice to be able to drive along side ppl that knew how to change lanes... for a change. Bring on the next one...Mitchy, get your engine in

was a good turnout, didnt seem that many skylines though compared to usual, and the guy in the hq giving us the pshht pshht next to us and then we gave him some external gate action and sliding past his window, ive never seen other car passengers jaws drop so quick :teehee: me and a mate were in the white old skool mz20 soarer.

also had a good chat with paul (gtst vspec) about his car, looks nice mate and it will definately surprise alot of people when its tuned and running full power :D nice to chat after all the previous political debates on sau over the years :O

could only hang for the first leg of the cruise cos we were heading down to ambar last night :D

nice turnout though! a little too much for the traffic lights to handle perhaps :teehee: had no idea where or who i was following, but somehow managed...

will hang around for longer next time! hope u like the CD Dan, a xmas pressie perhaps hohoho :O

I'm glad I caught up with the cruise at Karrinyup, soory for my late arrival, was feeling crook :teehee:

Nice to take my car for a drive, even if the 4000rpm limiter prevented much fun.

Nice to have a chat with CruiseLiner and his mates at the end of the cruise.

Have a great Xmas everyone.

Cheers

Paul

My first SAUWA cruise lastnite... Thoroughly enjoyed.

Have to say the highlight of the night was the old commy showing us his rendition of tokyo drift at galleria...

Good to finally put a face to a name for those of u i met and spoke with... Gotta love the individuality of diff cars and people you see on cruises.

That HQ looks the bollocks... Love the style and fmic as a grill.

Blue 33 GTR is quick as... F*ckin screams on song aswell.

Cruiseliner - Do you live in iluka, if so see ya working on the car all the time, have often wanted to stop to say hey.

Orange r32 GTR looked hottt... Had a good chat with the guy, not sure if he is on here...

Was a bit suprised that everyone was almost always speeding, not sure if it was just the people i were following, but being double demerits if i didnt wanna get lost i would of kept the speed a bit lower.

Anyways, enough for now, as i said was very enjoyable. Cheers for organising Dan. Merry xmas peoples.

hey dirty32, nah the soarer is my mates car, and yes he lives in iluka and works on it all the time, and building his supra drag car as well. i live just around the corner in a cul de sac so people dont see me workin on mine all the time haha. im always around his house in a black mistubishi gto so if u see it there stop and have a chat :teehee: or even a stagea as it will be running very very soon.

StageaGirl, I think I might have seen you at the cruise last night. Is your plate IMPORTD? If so, I photoshopped your wheels for you a while ago - check the appropriate thread. I was driving the Silver bog-stock R33 Series2 with my girlfriend and hanging around with Mr Keets. Think you parked opposite us at Murdoch.

Excellent cruise guys and thanks Dan for organising it. We had to split at midnight as Anita had to get up for work at 6am, but will hopefully be able to stick around for the end next time.

Also, the fella that Keith introduced me to with the RB25DET, sorry mate, I've forgotten your name and I never got your screen name. I'd like to talk to you a bit more about what you've done with it.

Cheers guys

Iain

Hey Iain, that was me with the RB25DET. Happy to have a chat.

PM if you want.

Mitch

"...Was a bit suprised that everyone was almost always speeding, not sure if it was just the people i were following, but being double demerits if i didnt wanna get lost i would of kept the speed a bit lower...."

:teehee: *in grizzled 1890 american miner voice* These young wipper snappers :D

There is a time and a place for everything and for some people that place was the planet Earth and the time was anytime. I think it might have been the crew you were following. Most of the time the ppl I cruised with were on the limit...speed limit that is. That orange 32 did look the biz

Was my first cruise and it was pretty good! The lights straight out of city west were a pain in the arse though. The blue 33 GTR was awesome and that random 4wd was bloody quick, so was the VL wagon, could only smell its rubber the whole time lol. HQ looked sweet too.

I was in a white 33 gtst (with silver rims and sunroof, not that it makes it indistinguishible from the rest :)), leading people astray when they foolishly followed me thinking I knew where I was going. I had to bail at karryinup because of work but glad I did because when I got onto the freeway there were some bikes popping wheelies at high speeds, exchanged thumbs up ofcourse :laugh: Glad I had a radar detector to keep up with the cruise hahaha

So who's the guy with the white 33 and the blue graphics? I've seen him cruising around Kings park and hes pssh'd at me at least a couple of times on the freeway. *Shakes fist* you just wait 'til I get started on mine :).

Hey Mitch, I've seen you posting on here a fair bit, so that's you. Cool. I'll PM you (after all this Xmas this is over - I don't think I'm going to be getting much screentime) soon and we can have a chat. Look forward to it mate.

Iain

lol that front monut intercooler aint just a grill it has a purpose!

yeh when the guys heard the gate open up they couldnt believe it lol, it sounded insane haha. all night i was going up next to people and letting the pod flutter and people just looked at me "wtf is in that thing?" was good fun =D

oh yeh and seeing pauls car was good, practically followed him on the last two stops of the cruise :wave: cant wait to see it without the limiter :)

and that laser or wotever it was with wat sounded like a screamer or probably an external gate scared the hell outa me through the tunnel, i still cant hear any thing :laugh:

and lol at the VN smoking it up and then giving it sh*t through the car park lol

Thanks Dan again for the great effort!!!!

Had some fun last night and it was great to meet even more new peeps. I was the "pimp" dude in the wide body Cima and for all those people I said g'day too, I hope to meet out on some more cruises in the future and MERRY XMAS.

Paully,

Thanks for coming out mate even though I knew you were sick (not fully sick). Car's looking the goods and it will be great to have a run next to you soon, (i'll take it easy on ya) must feel great to have the old girl back on the road (sorry niz lol). Let me know when it is all on song and see you at Motovation mate.

MERRY XMAS EVERYONE AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Judge

coulda figure out who u were sam lol saw a couple silver 33's with stockies not sure which one was u !

my stockies were black lol :)

hey danny were did you get ya grill from lol looked sick :laugh:, oh and not the grill on your car :wave:

    • 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.
