Not sure how it is in yours but in my car the horn is really pooncy. The drivers in Sydney seem to be getting worse and worse, so I find myself using the horn more and more, but to no avail. No one flinches anymore with the horn in my V35. I want to see them wobble back into their own lane in fear like they used to.

While I don't want to install a train horn like this guy, I would like a horn that will convey my feelings of dissaproval accordingly :blink:

Any suggestions?

There is a NISSAN "sports horn" you can get, but no idea what it sounds like.

move to W.A and you wont have to use the horn cause we can actually drive haha..

no in all seriousness.. simple solution for you.. and its kinda like a train horn but not quite.

just go to about any automotive shop and buy an airhorn , you do have to feed it 12 volt and it does get a signal from your existing horn . but these things are fcking LOUD and will most certainly convey your toughts on other peoples driving habits.

best thing to do would run a switch or something so you can use the air horn to vent your spleen and the standard horn to honk in a less angry tone.. like when you pick the New GF up from her parents house haha..

It is off topic but I have to say "you are kidding me" I have driven all over the world and nothing beats WA drivers, I had to drive trucks in Malaysia with 5 lanes forming into 2 and is was a better experience even with a red light and the traffic not stopping.

Over here they are so slack with many basic rules it just becomes dangerous and motorbike riders over here the mind boggles me their.

Triple or twin air horn dude :P

Works a charm, get one of the PIA FIAMM ones or whatever they are, I let people who piss me off know about it :D

Also if your mate is under the bonnet, it scares the hell out of them

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • 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)
