lol, did you see us? we where the maggotted bunch on prospect rd side takin photo's with the lance armstrong look-alike

nah i didnt haha

it was a case of...

"not now cheif im in the fkin zone"

Saw a funny looking bike at my mechanics today. Had a rear wheel from something that looked like a tractor. If you've ever seen sleds rear wheel (which is bloody large) this thing is twice as high and twice as wide

and

it had a nissan VG30 in it.... asked the mechanic wtf it was for and he said that it was a drag racing sand bike

never heard of that before. next time im there I'll see if I can take some pics.

-D

Spotted a nice silver 32 GTR in the back street's on the way home from work. Also anyone that works in hidmarsh near the stadium own a silver R33GTSt with FMIC custom plates, and also a white 32 with a new FMIC installed and a new addition to that street, a stag lightish green colour. See them everyday while on test drives for my repco service center.

around 8.30 on greenhill road spotted a bayside blue R34 GT-R... then about 10 minutes later saw another bayside blue r34 GT-R turning from Magil Road onto St Benards road.

about 8.50 spotted a black over grey HR31 Coupe on Gorge road

Calsonic14u, you don't live down south do you? Pretty sure i've seen your car parked outside a house with a few other imports round the corner from my mates..

Spotted a decent white 32 on beach road about lunch time.

Yah mate, i live around the corner from the junkfood corner. Yah there a few imports around this area now. My gf owns the silva veilside supra thats in the driveway with mine. A guy up the round just brought a silve/grey R33 s1 and a purple GTR R33 is round the corner on Pimpala rd. Also seen a white GTR and a yellow s1 R33 round the area :):)

    • 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)
