Spotted that grey 32 gtr with the after market front bar now sporting the plates 'godzilla' (or a close variation to that..) this afternoon on south road.. Looked clean.

Also spotted a black r33 s1 with a defect sticker on south road this afternoon..

desperately waiting to spot a orange 33 (RB26) in the hills infront of me tho.... someone give him a 26 bottom end !!! :(

;)

spotted R34SKY on portrush road about 30 mins ago

followed by an R32 with GTR wing and "OmG cHrOmEz" on it.

spotted pete at southern hitech today :)

also a black r33 at HiTech

a couple of silver r34's on the way home from hitech too

and a white pearl coloured stag at the big BP on south rd up from hitech

if u havent realised i was at southern hitech all day :O lol

Definatly was impressed. :)

Thank you :O, that car is mine.

I am getting the nismo side skirts and rear pods painted next week, so that should complete the package. Just gutter rashed the ultra rare Volk TE37 so im not in a good mood. Going straight to extensive wheel services to get them sorted tommorow morning.

Thank you :), that car is mine.

George, you weren't parked on rundle street couple of days ago during lunchtime we're you? Saw a vspec 34 gtr with massive TE37's... sounded insane.

spotted pete at southern hitech today :O
lol Pete you picking up the pieces that John and his boy forgot :)

na, just on the bike being chased by an unmarked car with lights on and eventually sirens blazing.............HiTech was just around the corner so rode there

Spotted a Custom Light blue R33 cruising down east avenue...sounds awesome,

It had Skyline Australia stickers and i think the plate read BAD R33,

yeah i see that stopped at a deli down east tce off pt road some mornings noticed it had a SAU sticker

do tell Pete did he want a closer look @ your billet work :)

True story........he was very pissed when I eventually pulled over but after a little chat we became the best of friends (he couldn't believe I didn't hear his sirens).

He came round to my home later (while 'stylz' was over picking up some GTR parts) and grabbed a bike poster off me for the station wall!!

My boy Daniel ran to his bedroom and locked the door, lol

    • 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.
