Spotted a maroon R33 in my work carpark at QEII hospital. Plates were 01 TAD i believe. It had a bodykit - Veilslide i think or something similar, black bonnet, and they had folded in their mirrors :nyaanyaa:

yeah thats me, half the time im going to work at northlakes (f**kn hate that shopping centre lol) dont see many silver 34's around here

check amarts parking lot, you will see my car every weekend :nyaanyaa:

Spotted on Wembly Rd Kingston about 10 mins ago, Black R32 with 2x SAU stickers on the windscreen & some nissan neon thingy in the front bar, no. plates were 820 JDS. I gave a wave, but got nothing back :P

theres actually a 2door 33 that sits in a resaurant car park across the road from jupiters thats the same colour as mine

wen i saw it i was shocked. its a stock grey/blue colour off a nissan bluebird too

and yea i got it from MJR on ferry road, y u ask??

yep thats mine, 2 door ice green.

i actually called into mjr and had a look at that car, the salesman was telling me what a rare colour it was and i replied with "i know, see that 2 door out there, i thought it was the only one in qld in that colour" lol

had mine about 4 years or so, cant remember, its been a long time. theres not many out there in that colour so consider your line unique amongst others :P

Spotted the same one in Mt Gravatt

Hot ride

Must be stolen if it was some black guy that was driving it, I think he's the one that was spotted on my driveway scoping my car...a bottle of metho saw him off in his flogged white 34 that day. :)

Spotted the following today,

8am'ish R33 GTR Gateway Bridge tolls (White, with TE37 Volks didnt get rego)

8:30am'ish R32 GTST M1 towards gold coast (Red/Maroon with plates *** KAB)

9amish R34 GTR carpark at Hope Island Resort (Bayside Blue, looked clean as a whissle)

4pm'ish R31 GTSX dressed as a GTSR (I can tell the difference ;) ) Parked on Queens Rd as Arana Hills

4:30pm'ish R33 GTST Strathpine Sizzler carpark (Looked like Noels car, but had nsw plate DO0170 (Do it, i think its meant to read)

5pm'ish R32 GTR Lilly Rd out the back of clear mountain, think it might have been IanB. Car was going too fast for me to recognise the driver...

I saw alot today :)

yep thats mine, 2 door ice green.

ive never herd it called ice green until now, i thot it was blue/grey, o well ice green sounds heaps better. i have seen 1 or 2 4doors the same colour but urs is the only 2door ive seen with that paint, it looks mad on the 2door. on the 4door it certainly beats the others which are all painted 2 tone silver/black or blue/black. at least its all one colour. my dad bought it bout 2years ago from mjr so it musta been sitting there for a brave while, what price was on it wen u looked at it?!!

ur car is always parked down there, du work there?

spotted tonnes and tonnes on skyline at POWERCRUISE. im not going to bother mentioning them all.

i was in the white r33 gtst with no front bumper that shat off its crank angle sensor whislt in the middle of a drift :);)

then spotted Kweii r34 gtr heading towards willowbank.

then saw anna and andys r32 at noels house :D ((thanks again noel )

Spotted "ENM13" White 34 GT-T at Browns plains BP... Man I love those wheels... :)

Also spotted "OMR33" on a back street in Browns Plains pulled up outside someones house... :)

I saw a orange 2 door R32 last night near kedron plates are 257ARE ( 2 Stare??) anyways i was in my girlfriends pulsar :'( cos my R32 is getting a bit of crash repair ..... my poor drivers side front corner :)

Also saw a nice R32 black 2 door with black mags with silver trim on the mags.... didnt get the plates... there was a white R33 following him too with gold rims on the rear and plain mags on the front ... on morayfeild road at 1.50pm today (sunday)

    • 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)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
