This might be asking abit, but does anyone with a R33 GTR or Stagea 260RS/4WD wanna measure from the hole on there front Caster arms to the very end bit with the two bolts?

Would be very helpful if someone could. Thanks Luke

lol well im voting for flick also, so hope others vote for me so i stay with her lol. think its gonna be a lot of votes needed to move up in the top 20, we will be trying though.

cheers troy. i know lots of votes have been done and not much moving happening so hopefully there will be some changes with todays voting, thanks again to all of you for helping out :thumbsup:

Another few votes, This really is stupid how you can vote your life away, If you had the time you could vote all day and move right up there.....

PS your up into 10th now!!

and Flicks making a come back now aswell

got to say that pic for MSS15 keeps on distracting me from voting for you 2 :D

Darren whens the next round of the state series? might try to head out for it as i haven't been to 1 in years.

woohh yeh keep the votes coming, for both of us! Im on the first page at least now, got my friends.. workmates.. family and their friends all voting lol.

In other news, didnt get the job, but ohwell, least i still have coles until i find something else..

tough luck flick, at least you still have your other job. I quit mine cos i had a new job only to have them cancel it at the last minute (when i was looking for a place to live in Melbourne to work for them)

so i'm back going through the paper and internet madly looking. What sort of work are you after?

Darren whens the next round of the state series? might try to head out for it as i haven't been to 1 in years.

well we are going out for prac tomorrow, but the FIRST state Champ round is on the Sat 12th April, So next weekend, Its a twilight meeting also, so will be a good one!!

well ive been in retail for 11 years now.. i dont mind it, just want a change from supermarket! Anything sales, retail etc would be good, just keep on lookin i guess :D

My mates girlfriend is the manager of Strathfield on Gouger St, If i hear of anything i will let you know!

cool, i want to see the WEST's out on track. They feel the car has a potential to take the outright lap record if they can get a good driver out there. Not bad for a 176Hp car

Yeh they are a nice car, seen them quite a few times, and Percat drove one a little while ago also!! Id say he could have the potential to get the record......LOL

SAPOL sure does have some dickheads working for it, now don't get me wrong I'm not painting them all with the same brush but a lot of traffic cops are assholes! There I was cruising down Grand Junction Rd this arvo and see a cop car on the side of the road with his disco lights on. The car in front just pulled away and then the officer in the car turned off his lights... I drove past, he stayed where he was for a few more seconds. When I was a reasonable distance away there he comes, flying up my ass with his flashy light show so I pulled over and politely said good afternoon officer. He pulls out his bretho and says random breath test, blah blah blah, while all the time looking at my car. I breathe in, he barely even looks at the reading then goes straight to the car asking me all sorts of questions trying to be a smart ass about what he can defect on it. As I have WA plates currently he asks have I been over Regency yet, DUH! I still have WA plates! I said no, then he said, "Oh, they'll make sure you have a good time when you go through then" and hops in his car and does an ILLEGAL U-turn then fangs up the road!!! :D

What shits me the most is it was blatantly obvious I was only pulled over cos I drive one of those "hoon cars" I was obeying road rules and the speed limit, there was no reason for him to pull me over under the guise of a "random" breath test. I know this kind of shit happens every day but when you have had a hard day at work, doing the decent thing holding down a job and earning money and some little shit head has to come and spoil it... it just irks me. Where was this officer when bogans tried to break into my car? Ah I digress...

/rant

i know they do do alot of those random pull overs to make sure the person driving is actually the owner, does suck in a way but at least it is something they do to look out for the imports.

And thanks heaps for the votes people, cant believe were in the top 10! Keep them coming :D

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
