i couldn't believe how slow my r32 was till last night :D to be honest some friken little nissan pulsar kicked my ass repeatedly icon9.gif , before we broke off i had a talk and only thing he'd done to it was put new tires on it... now i gotta build the car so this definitely doesn't happen again... come on a hatch pulsar !!! geez shame icon2.gif

Since I want to be in the 'cool kids' club Ruby seems to have started, I have gone one better than him - blue intercooler :)

You know what the problem was... granny shifting not double clutching like you should be.

Hahahaha Vu very well said mate

on a serious note Ripp3r if you have been beaten by a pulsar mate then there is something wrong with your line.....take it to a workshop, chuck it on the dyno and sus it out mate....i am only saying this coz before i f**ked up my other motor it was making 80rwkw lol sad but true....it was due to the harmonic balancer keyhole been worn out apparently and stuffed up the timming etc etc....so if anyone wanna help me rebuild my old RB25DET your welcome :D

80rwkw??? wow thats shithouse...my n/a low comp rb30 made 75rwkw...just got it tuned at hitech last night...less power but not as highly strung (ie leaning out bigtime in the top end)...still leans out...i need a remap..made just over 150rwkw

but its not true yet :D

still the war rages on. honestly how can you call him a nice guy. he's clearly offended so many and never apoligizies. if someone was offended by my jokes id be more than willing to appoligize

I thought it said Ted180 has returned to SAU LOL

Don't ask me why.

one of the reasons i left 31club was the useless shitfights ....looking at the spotted thread it clearly shows ted starting this shitfight when he yapped on about caras parking.....cara's a women...like when can they park well anyway????

jk cara...you i know i love you like only a noob can....and ive had MY betsy longer than yours :D

while your telling me to do stuff, can you give me some tips on how to colour my hair?

i wanna go pink like you, but not sure if i can pull it off, ive got a non turbo car, maybe i just need the vinyls?

thats ted complaining about being told what to do while telling ppl what to do :D

look a lil before then 1st coment is about cara's parking in mc d's

that is if the good stuff hasnt been deleted yet

Edited by Inline 6
spotted miss r34 fail at parking in maccas murray bridge last night.

did you take up 2 parks because you suck at driving? or because with the extra width from all the vinyls you cant fit in 1 park?

im going to say its both.

im not envious btw.

heres the one that started it all

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
