So is it Sat 2nd or Sun 3rd Feb?

If it is Sat I am out, as I have a drinking engagement with the lads at Hahndorf - mind you I am not sure how that will go after the mega drinking fest of Big Day Out. Man I was crook for 3 days after last years ....

yeam im interested for the right day but on memory you picked sunday and thats handover day for me so would have to be back @ the city or ridgehaven by 5.pm

yeah that is cause i had to work, but then the place cancelled my shifts so no workies on the saturday.

so it will be the original day of saturday 2nd feb.

how about say kmart anzac hwy? i know its on a sat and all but im sure if we meet up at the back we will be able to get parks while we wait for everyone to rock up

well it would be good if we can get there by 12.30-1.30 cause we are gonna have lunch i was thinking maybe just go the straight way there so we can get there in time b4 lunch service closes (aounrd 2-2.30) and i always hated in when a group of people rocked up expecting to eat lunch when its close to closing time - so we will be kind on the chef ok!! lol

maybe meet time can be at about 10;30 am? i know this mught sound early, but it gives time for those who might be running late

will you be crusing down victor harbour road that goes past the mcalren vale entrance?

if so ill just be waiting there, no point in me going all the way into town to go back where i started haha

:glare: where is that entrance?

and victor harbour rd is the main rd right? lol i dont the names of the roads........i just follow em!

where the hell is mclaren vale?

isnt that up in the barossa somewhere?

LOL.......

if we take south road then take the left turn at seaford we will go past the mclaren vale turn off. not sure which way you guys are going tho.

:glare:

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
