got a wave from a dude in a white 33 with sau stickers on the side skirt. Down past pac fair, not sure if you seen me wave back, pretty sure you were at the gold coast meet last night.

Hi Ya

Wow i'm famous too. Yeah was at the Fri meet @ Pac Fair, great night. Thx for the wave back, didn't see u wave back due to i was turning a corner.

Cheers :)

Spotted today driving back from Stanthorpe...........a bunch of normal considerate Skylines and Silvias of all models(big thumbs up guys, obviously returning from the drifting??). And.......some tool in a blue S15 with no. plate BND OVR. Prick held up trafic from Ipswich to Kessels Rd by doing the same speed(about 5-10kays under the limit) as his mate in the left lane, he was in the right lane. It took me about ten kays to get past enough people to be able to flash him with my lights to get out of the way and then he trys to drag me. :D:)

Honestly mate....grow up.....anytime you want a race come and play at QR...there are plenty of track days throughout the year. Some of us like to spend the $$$ on tracktime not speeding tickets.

Enough venting......thumbs up again to all the people who know to stay in the left lane unless overtaking.

spotted this R32 skyline in Fiji .. sadly theres only R32's that came to fiji no 33 or 34's one of these fetches 32,000FJD which is around 29grand aus

Full of ceffys all over the place used commonly as taxis same as laurels and glorias

Also spotted RNB.33 with GTR kit on it klump road yesterday anyone from here looks alot like my old 33

We saw a 33 Sedan on Denarau Island just out of Nadi, Fiji in February :D

i was down kawana way today, 2 black r33 coupes, one on the main straight and the otehr one had L plates on it driving around the homemaker centre. and at the sunshine plaza there was a black r31 coupe with vic numberplates on it.

Spotted a real Hotty in a grey 32 GTS-T on kingston rd on friday night...was in the ute pickin up a my mates new bike

also followed a bayside blue 34 for a litle while on the way back from QR yesterday..was in the white 32 behind you.

    • 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.
