Congrats to the crew who ran the show. Very well done and well organised.

Fantastic turn out.

It was good to meet some people from here, and for those who i didnt get to talk to, there's always the next event :D

I will say thank you also to all the organisers who did a fantastic job, cars were displayed well, music was mostly good and everyone behaved themselves pretty well, apart from those unfortunate few that decided to rip burnouts as they left... but anyway..

Oh, and, DAMN that RB30 which just pipped me for the Best Classic Skyline award! GRR, judges said it was really close so I'll look forward to a good battle next year!

I took 100+ pics so if you guys want any, chances are i have one of your car :D Just let me know if you want them :P

yeah it was an awesome day! i especially liked it this morning on the drive to sydney it went skyline skyline skyline skyline skyline skyline CHARADE skyline skyline skyline skyline skyline skyline lol everyone was probably wondering why a charade was following them the whole way haha

It was a good day finally meeting alot of people :D

good day.and congrats to all the winners.

good sussage sizzle you girls put on there.was a highlight of the day.

jeers to the wanker who wanted to cause trouble over somthing so little.he has to realise that skylines australia are held responsible for the parks condition.dont worry little bro your not the only one out there who was caught.next time get caught by the cops and pull that shit.end rant..

but other than that the day was great.thanks for all the judgeing bribes r32gtr peeps.in the end i gave it to the highest bidder.it worked out well.i got my ivory chess set that i allways wanted and you got the win :P:D

HOme now

Excellent day! top work guys

will get my pictures organised for everyone...dam batteries died on me but i got plenty of pics

thank you again :P

Can you send me the pics you took of my 34GT-R (00.34.00) I DIDNT TAKE ANY ! and dont have any with the new plates . Thanks Aaron. Oh and hows that being beaten by a 34gtr that wasnt even washed ! (guess the judges dont like purple )lol :D

I only took onne pic today of my favourite car. Unfortunaely, it doesn't show the fantastic Midnight Purple II paintwork:

Thanx Mate ! Ashame the sun wasnt out more as the paint looks great in the sunlight , :D now i have a few good ones of my car thanks to the guys that pm me some pics as well !

I would love to see some photos..I was the guy in the Dr30 :D with the plates DR30XX.

Yes add me to the list of thank you's!

Great job Adam, Doodz and the all the volunteers and helpers, was a really great day and good to see the club getting together and having a great day.

My mum even popped down with the camera to take a look and was really impressed by the quality and quantity of cars as well as the people - Said everyone who was near there cars was very obliging (spelling?) and happy to talk about their pride and joys.

I will have some pics as well just like 99% of you but will post em up later and point to the photo album site :D

P.S - Never get enough pics of those 34 GTR's sex sex sex.

I will say thank you also to all the organisers who did a fantastic job, cars were displayed well, music was mostly good and everyone behaved themselves pretty well, apart from those unfortunate few that decided to rip burnouts as they left... but anyway..

sorry I used the wrong qoute in the above post before. this post has the right quote. I would love any photos you ahd of my DR30..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.
