If they have a buzzer, they'll be back. Get the cars out ASAP

I rang up strata today.. they have only recently changed the buzzers and I told them this isn't good enough they are going to have to take better precautions

I just spoke to the strata manager.. Hes a f**k..

Apparently we have had complaints because we have had 5 cars in the garage and a bike??? I don't know where he got the 5 from I park the bike up against a wall away from the cars..

They have also had complaints because we were spraying a set of wheels in there the other day WHICH WE PUT f**kING NEWS PAPER DOWN and changing wheels.. Apparently this isn't a work shop guys.

Then hes like we will look into changing buzzers again.. I said to him there is no point they are just going to get back in if they have a self learning remote.. hes like "durrhhh what's that"

He obviously doesn't know much.

looks like the cops arent do their job again

they can fine us and crush our cars for driving around

but cant do shite about stopping theives

geee we have a excellent police force,

I would not really blame the cops about this one. I am upset at strata management.

even after this has happened guess what brilliant idea they had. They are putting bash plates over the door that was broken into. Keep in mind there are another 6 doors exactly the same without the bash plates... I wonder if they will just go to another door if they want to get back in again?

Tight arses - how much is a piece of steel plate ? Compare that to nearly 50k damage last week. hmmmm

Beware of people putting tape over the gate sensors too, they started trying to do that here as well... follow someone inside and put something over the gate sensor so it doesnt close.

Another way of them getting in apparently is a safety switch on a lot of the gate motors, they are 'clever' enough to put a hook on a pole, stick it through the gate and pull the little lever. Places have been putting little boxes around the safety switch so you have to stick your finger up inside it to release the gate to try and stop this.

Anyone want to start up a window repair business with me? :S

Crims just aren't that clever up here (yet)

A mates old unit had a security gate, wasn't too bad except for the breaking every second day, but the safety release wasn't a handle, you needed to open a door thing up, and then use a ratchet piece to crank the gate open... Do it from outside and it'd break your arm!

Mind you, people just used to climb through the break in the fence!

It's the same in QLD guys..

I couldn't believe it when I went outside one morning to find that someone had stolen one of my "4 for $17" solar lamps from near the mailbox.

I found it down the street in bits.

It's a terrible world this..

:worship:

f**k Sydney.

there is nothing that makes it worth staying there.

As if you would want to live in that sort of society.

These things don't get better.

they get worse.

The way things are in sydney now is what you are going to be wishing it was like in 3-5 years time.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
