The way the foreigners have over fished all of our local fishing spots and catch well over legal limits theres pretty much no good local fishing haunts left unless you go off-shore.

Best bet is THE little river fishing farm. Like shooting fish in a barrel :happy:.

I really hate greedy FU*kers....... that spoil t it for others. When my son is old enough I would like to take him fishing as well.

But with the on onslaught of people from the east and foreigners over fishing theres going to be buckleys of that happening.

END Rant......

The reason for me saying foreigners and easties is because a friend of mine is a fisheries officer and deals with these people constantly at the coal face.

to bad your so far away dan the cut in mandurah almost always delivers afew fishies in an hour or so even if you do throw most back

my bro and his wife dont mind chucking a line in up near heathcote an recon they get a catch most times

As said above, Perth is really over fished, so its not that great anywhere :whistling:

If you really want to travel, there is a little town north of perth called Dongara. They have some pretty good beach fishing... dawn and dusk are the best times, but during the day is ok too.

Around perth, maybe go to south beach in freo. There are often a school of whiting around or even better a few herring. Have also caught a few flat head there too :P

are you serious the highway goes straight over the cut

k then you go take the highway thru the forum lights heading south go over the "new" bridge thru falcon then take the last left before the dawesville bridge follow that to the end and there you are

apparently the best bait is prawns and berley doesnt seem to matter to much what time of day can get crowded tho and your fishing off rocks the jetties are always full

dont blame me if you dont catch anything tho im not really a fishin person mind you a nice sundy arvo with a rod a beer and a mates always fun

Depends on a lot of things. If you have good balance, good foot ware, the rocks aren't wet and slimy and there is no swell to knock you off. Rocks are pretty safe. If too many of the mentioned factors come into play, it becomes less safe. Generally ts fine as long as you use your head and don't stand in stupid positions waiting to get washed off :yes:

Well you could try rottnest island. Thou i'm just a occasional fisherman. I caught about 14 herrings in 2 hours. Well it could the same ones biting cause i thew a few back in, but i can't remember which period that was in. I think somewhere just before winter.

When i went to kalbarri, i caught a few fishes, but i don't know wtf are they and if they're nice to eat, so i threw all of them back, more or less like sport fishing. Thou i did have some yummy crabs.

when i lived in shelly and rossmoyne, i would always see people fishing in the river there.. just in little nooks and crannies. radio on in the car, esky full of emu or something else equally sophisticated... not sure if they caught anytihng other than blowfish tho.

fishing down mandurah is the go!

when i uses to fish with my cousin thats where we would always head, also if you dont want to go all the way down to manduarh you can go to places like warnbar (spelling), my cousin lives down that way and says the fishing isn't to bad down their.

if your interested i can ask him next time i see him what are some good places.

also i do sometimes see people shipping off the rocks at city beach and stuff no idea if thats good or not :D ohh yeah and down under mill point road into the swan

... mandurah? rottnest? broome?

he's not going for 2 foot taylor... he's going fishing with his son. mandurah is good but if u dont wanna drive an hour (if u live north of the river) theres a long groyn in (i think its called) quinns rocks - just turn left on the roundabout at the intersection before bunnings and follow that road around for about a km or 2 then turn left after the round bends and follow that for about another 2km till the end, u cant miss the groyn, its massive. you can catch plenty of herring/skippy and i caught a couple of good taylor. i always go to the end of the groyn but if u cant be bothered walking, anywhere is good

that would be Mindarie you talking about, not quinns :D and yeh tis alright for finishing, right at the end in the middle is pretty good no matter what time of day, although ATM its pretty fu**ed cos they are doing developing the area and theres fences and construction site buildings up at the entrance :)

when i go finishing i usually get bored if i havnt had a bite in about 4-5 mins and crack the sh*ts, that when i realised fishing isnt for me :P

    • 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.
