went and watched a mate play in the C grade local footy today at the hectorville footy club. 3x white R33s in the parking lot (including mine). one was auto (as i took off behind him after the game)

spotted matty T last night in rambo's ambo.....i was in the corolla so i thought id salute with a traditional keybang.

ow my freakin ears.............i come up next to ya and gone "wait for it.............."

BANG!

:cheers:

Pulled up next to a black Stag in the GTR on Anzac last night at the Morphett Road intersection - think he must've thought I wanted to race down Anzac Highway on a Saturday night with cops everywhere........ I had more fun watching the car full of kids in the white corolla/corona or whatever it was station wagon with HKS stickers plastered all over it! :cheers:

spotted a clean stock looking blue/grey/silver (hard to describe the colour) 32 at virginia yesterday arvo (in the Woods Rd / Penfield Rd area). Was working on my car and heard the note of an RB..........not bad at all

Spotted a silver 33 on Salisbury highway? (going to Pt adelaide) waiting after the mawson lakes traffic lights for another silver 33 to get across. I was in the 4x4 going the opposite direction and didnt recognise the driver but saw SAU stickers.

saw 2 r33s one maroon, with 34 gtr rims and ET sticker on the 1/4 and the other was white both turning off SE freeway onto portrush rd a bit after midnight last night. also another white 33 on glen osmond rd.

think i might have pulled up next to matty 31 in town the other night, gave him sum spool up in his window but duno if he was into it or not haha!

silver stag with gold racing hart rims? yeah, ya were next to me, was in my own little world. Ya drivers headlight needs a bit of re-aiming thats for sure :happy:

Spotted Brittz just then on North East Rd, gave ya a wave but I was behind you in the Daihatsu Applause, I think you must have been like WTF??? Then only seconds later Kye in his ride going the other way, got off a wave but I think it was a little too late

few spotteds yesterday..

Red 34 with i think a black bonnet turning onto hindley yest arvo bout 6ish

Bayside blue 34 GTR V spec with gold drifteks on jetty road last night - HOT

Black 32 gtr with dish rims go past us near botani gardens bout 8ish

Also, on hindly bout 8ish got an enthusiastic wave from a guy in a silver 32, assuming they on here from the wave we got. Waved back but might not have seen me.

haha sorry mate i didnt see you. hiding in that applause again :happy:

saw many a skyline today. from what i remember, a black 33 gtr with gold bbs rims at marion today, a black 34 with uras front bar and chromies at the carwash on north east rd, a silver 33 took off after the black 34 did and one really odd white 33 with what looked like the graphics from 2fast 2furious's 34 on it :s

also saw jaymei in his new stag on marion rd, well missus pointed you out as you went past ;)

probably more but nothing that i can remember

    • 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)
    • 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.
