how bout all those trucks, old vans and bombs with black puffin smoke comin out of their exhaust... you don't see cops defecting them... and how bout cars with busted brake, tail or head lights... see heaps of those, in fact I nearly merged into a stupid Lancer on my way home just then cause his front lights were busted, only one parker was working... lucky i triple checked my blind spot and noticed a dark shadow... I was about to yell at him as I passed but his windows were closed.

i got caught doing a burn out in kings cross a while back, got my ticket and also got defected for being to low, i had standard suspension, a week later i took it in to the rta at botany, because they mayed me do a full inspection, i drove into the rta paid the fee, went to the pits section they took my defect notice and my paid receipt, waited 10mins they called me around, drove in they checked my ride height, the inspector then told me to pop the bonnet, got some numbers down from the plates and signed the papers and told me to go have a nice day everything is fine, a week or two later i get pulled over for nothing and get defected again, this time for a whole lot of things, to low, exhaust to loud, gauges, air filter, bov, front bumper loose, and gives me two days to get an inspection otherwise i cant drive, i go back to botany rta they say its fine u can go, have a nice day,

ps. i took the gauges out

P's attract attention.... And imports attract even more..... Its insane, and in my area, southwest and sutherland shire, its getting worse by the month.... If gets any worse over the next few years, I'm moving to Tasmania.... I don't see the cops getting any better... I'v removed my P Plates for the last 3 months, and haven't had a single "random" breath test, or as much as a glimps from a cop....but when i had the P's on, I had 12 "random" breath tests in 6 months..... Not to mention the "you were speeding" attempts from an Ashfield Highway Patrol Officer Number 9, who told me I was doing 130 on the M5... he pulled me over doing 100, legally, and told me i was doing 130, to my repeat answer, "I was doing 100 from King Georges Road", until he gave up, and followed me home... all the way from Belmore road to Menai... I even did a Maccas drive thru at Padstow.... Persistant bastard, still got nothing...

By the way, if anyone ever gets the chance to, tell a cop he has 2 tail lights out at the traffic lights..... They like to tell you that THEY enforce the rules, and you don't..... Commondore cop cars ALWAYS have a light out....

funny u say that, my friend used to work at Holden in Artarmon, they services a lot of cop cars, and they say that every time a cop car leaves the service centre they leave them with a defect because if the cop car has a defect they carn't book you. eg. my friend over took a cop doing 80 in a 60 zone and when he got pulled over he said "officer u have a head light out" and the oficer knew what he meant and said slow down and let him off.... i wouldn't recomend testing this tho, my friend has since lost his license

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
