Vt Systems Car Audio and Security together with Security In Motion have just taken Australian SPL record in last months Autosalon in the DB Drags event. We are now trying to target the world record and hope to achieve this by Final Battle at Autosalon in Sydney in December 2007. We will have Australia's Loudest car on display In Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle and Sydney and also compete and demo.

We would be happy to answer any car audio and car security questions you may have, Vernon and Terence from VT Systems and Leon from Security In Motion will be there in person.

LOOK FOR THE "ICE AGE" VAN AND "ICE 2 THE MELTDOWN" VAN.

Hope to see some of you there.

From what i can tell VT Systems car is currently around the 161 db mark.

The Australian overall record is 164.8db.

Untill that number is reached or exceeded the record still remains in Queensland with John Wong.

Unless i am not up to date and the car has already hit around 165 in a DB Drag sanctioned event.

Yes that is the overall loudest, but the record for each year gets reset at the beginning of each year. By the time we get to AutoSalon Final Battle in December we dont see why we can't get 165 or higher, remembering ICEAGE 2 was not fully completed when we got 161.5db and that was using Standard off the shelf Crossfire XT 15's. This is a good starting point.

Records dont get reset.

Current record stands at 164.8db.

Vernon and VT Systems are currently loudest for this year. Please post about records when they reach 164.9db thank you.

Just want to clear up a misunderstanding.From my conversations with Angelo from db drags Australia I understood that we hold the current Australian record in ss3-4 for the 2007 season...I inderstand completely that the overall record is 164.8...This car was around for a very short time with those numbers.....We will be around for a long time....We wont be one hit wonders....WE ARE ALSO THE LOUDEST EXISTING CAR (not including extreme) in Australia..and we are street registered.Other facts which might be of interest are that we are only using half the power and $450 subs...all crossfire..

sorry if we upset you that was not our intention...we are just stating facts...

Take care

Vernon

You didnt upset me, not even the slightest.

Yes it might be for this season, but it still hasnt hit above the SS3-4 record.

And i am not doubting your facts. I am a record holder myself. I would be seriously pissed off if someone tried to claim they were louder than me when really they are way off. Being the loudest existing car for the season is great and i am very happy that you are pushing the boundries of your class.

As i stated perhaps the topic needs to be changed to AUSTRALIAS LOUDEST CAR for the 2007 SEASON IN ITS CLASS. Overall loudest is still 164.8 and the record stands at that point in SS3-4.

And keep going mate, impressive impressive machine that car of yours is. I have no doubt that you will reach your goal eventually.

Good luck

      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.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
