I spotted Ben in his RS260 on Port Wakefield Rd this arvo - we were in the blue Honda Accord next to you at the lights ogling your beast .... damn your car is loud! When you took off from the lights it woke my 8 month old in the back seat :( - the wife was not happy - I smiled though :):P:D mmmmm RB26 powaaaaaaahhhhhhh

think last night(?) i spotted flick on montague rd, near corner of nth east. tried to go round the block and catch up but ya lost me.

just spotted Thirty 1 :P gave a flash of my lights and way and got a toot when i pull off elizabeth st :)

beat me too it.. got a mate that lives on that street, am up there alot these days.

also on way home got a beep from sly 34 (yellow gtt) on nelson rd. sounds nice.

when i see your car at his house i will blast my air horns i tried to this afternoon but sometimes doesn't work with wheel turned

lol.. ill listen out for it. just yell loudly if it doesnt work. lol

people who drive like that in the city need a good smack in the chops, and a knee to the meat and two veg.

No shit, and at a time when there is a lot of people walking around making their way to clubs etc. Fking twat.

I have to drive my 32 into town quite often for work and drive off boost the whole time I'm in the CBD, yet thanks to fkwits like this I'm targetted by the 5-0 and count myself lucky to have not been defected yet :)

spotted ben in his stag at bp darlington this arvo, was pullin out of HJs when i seen ya first up

tooted.........seen you look around the forecourt looking like "who the f**k is tooting"

did a u turn, come back past to go home, and ya seen me that time hahahahaha

Ha ha you couldnt have summed it up better matty, i was lookin round to see who was beeping and it only clicked as i saw the back of the ute, then you came back! lol!

Sorry Andrew! lol! Well sorry to your wife, id expect that you would have appreciated hearing it! Funny thing is I did notice someone checking out the car but i didnt click that it was you, i was in a world of my own tho, like a 5 year old in a candy shop pretty much! lmao!

I was out doing some kms over the weekend on the fresh motor before the tunning is finished off. I just wanted to drive it, even if its only running low boost its still quicker than the gtr, and oh so much louder! lol! :woot:

yeah no worries mate - if Tyler hadn't been sleeping in the back I would have wound down the window and said hi - but I didn't want to wake him. That didn't last long though when you took off anyhow :woot: - it's all good - sounded sweet as! You got a bit of rear wheel spin as she came on boost too - very nice.

Well atleast next time you know its inevitable that it will wake anyone in a 2km radius so you may aswell say hi! lol! Yeah it does try and spin when its running in rwd, funny thing is that was only on 13psi! :woot: Im waiting to see what it will do on 23psi, but i dont rekon i'll get to try that in rwd, front shaft will be back in then! :D

Yep ... that 260 is f**king loud mate. :D

Good to see the 260 stag once again Ben. If you wanna put any more kms on the odometer, throw the car my way and I'll take care of it for you. :D

Thanks for coming out and having dinner and playing Halo 2 with us :woot: ... even if the girls were talking about wedding cakes! eek! Thinking now I should have taken my stag out instead of jumpinginto your car, so we had two black Stageas cruising Port Adelaide. Ah well, next time.

See you and Nene Friday night :D ... ssshhhhhhhhh! :(

Hey Roo, i should have gotten nene to bring the silver rs4 out, then tracy could have driven your silver one, then we would have had 2 balck and 2 silver stageas, kinda funny that between the two of us we can offically have our own stagea cruise! :woot:

That chicken was good last night, dont know why they dont show it on the menu, lucky we asked! lol

Thats being a bit of an inconsiderate anti-car pooling thing to say Ben :D Think green dude! :D

Silver Stag still needs the glass put in ... I've been lazy! BTW you should have claimed your trolley jack back last night ... its now officially mine :woot:

Ahh you dont work far from me hey Dohmar? Im GHD building (aka the ugliest building in town).

Spotted BLKSKY on Grenfell this morning

Which one is that? I have to say theres a lot of candidates for ugliest building. Is GHD number 45 or something?

Luciano works in the SA Water building which Im looking at right now from my office on the 8th floor

-D

    • 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.
