not skylines, but saw 2 stacked cars in the hills today, on the way to adel via birdwood.

first one was white lancer, sitting nicely up against a wall after a sharp corner, that was on the way to adel.

second was on the way home about half hour ago, a silver commo with a pretty messed up front end, looks to have come around a right hand, uphill, and oversteered into the right hand side.

oh, and they werent old people..

i went for a bit of a run up the gorge the other day didnt get very far bloody tree on the road near the dam had to chuck uee and go back...

think it might have been RyanRB25 i spotted last nite bout 12ish on south road at wingfield (up near the bridge to come onto the expressway)............well, it was a white 33 s2 with meshie lookin wheels (that somewhat could be VSXXs)

was heading south with ORGZMC's car load in the falcon and lozz back behind them in her lancer

Spotted a black R34 with GTR front in the carpark of subway near synergy motorsport and on the way home from subway spotted a white series 1.5 R33 on Prospect Road... mm subway eat fresh lol

just now spotted a freshly written off silver R33GTst with blinging chrome rims on Bridge Road, Ingle Farm. I can't even imagine how the accident happened, but a Suzuki Swift on the other side of the median strip had the drivers side front end and door caved in, and I had limited view of the R33, but the drivers side rear wheel was fuxored big time. No idea how/why they were on opposite sides of the median strip. Cops, ambos and fire engines everywhere - quite nasty.

so your saying more spare parts coming and higher premiums great and great

spotted so many skylines on my way to work main one that sticks out as i was on the phone ducked down a side street off green hill rd i say a silver 4door going up the road sounded very nice

was on south rd 10 mins later then heard a gtr go onto sir donald into the city and couple more forget but

on the way home say a maroon R33 both had a gawk at each other and a silver stag on green hill rd and possibly glynburn rd @ 4:40 gave a wave could really see driver due to dark tint :thumbsup:

yes i also spotted the 33 that had a rooted rear end. i dunno how it would have happened also....

sitting behind a white 33 today at the kfc drive through next to the village. sounded tough as, was trying to catch up to you when u turned onto wynn vale drive but got caught behind slow traffic!!

also spotted "FLRTY 2", i think she was getting hungry jacks??

at roughly 9:00am spotted a wine red r32 gtst with s15 wheels a black painted bonnet and hybrid intercooler. blonde behind the wheel and she certainly wasnt feather footed! good to see another girl enjoying a skyline

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • 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)
