spotted a stock looking r33 gtr waiting to turn at the regency and main north road intersection just after 2pm. from memory i think it was purple?

driver tool of the day award goes to...*drum roll*

a shitbox white xf falcoon. first spotted on torrens road and then addison road heading towards the port. zipping through traffic, without using the indicator, speeding and getting real close to the cars in front. had the real cool one hand on the steering wheel driving style. loser.

spotted a white R33 series 1 with a p plate chick driving on main north elizabth area . had for sasle on the back window.

Also spotted a black or dark blue R33 on main north munno parra area. Not sure if it was Jasmine?

Just before the traffic went to hell because of the pile up . :)

I missed it because I managed to get up womma road and went behind munno parra shopping centre . :O

spotted petes old beast parked up in north adelaide at about 7pm.

I bet Pete's loving this. ;)

More people spotting his car now than when he owned it. Plus you're all rubbing salt in his wound :)

yeah, new owners putting in some serious wheel time. my dad just called me to say he thinks he spotted 'that silver car' from my calendar at the base.

well pete did rarely brought the GTR out

but when he bring that beast out

he drove it like it should be driven :(

Did a hills road run today with my work mate lol, on our way to a depot... and I spotted:

A f*cking hot R32 GTR coming back to Adelaide - aftermarket front mount, awesome rims, coilovers... sounded awesome.

Some random motorbike flogging the absolute shit out of it... sounded great!

A MX5 flogging its way through

A (will not name it) certain company car going through and getting a little sideways around the corners (not our car!)

A random Green Celsior

First time I've traveled on those roads in the day time in ages... gotta love the entry marks into some of the corners! They're just loaded with thick black skidmarks.

Awww group hug for Sled.... someone find this man a 32 already!

-D

I think he needs a GTR more then a group hug there Ben lol

I am sure that pete will be able to get his hands on a R very very soon

after he has had fun in the land cruiser of course :D

put your old turbos on the cruiser pete

Chalk up one more spotted for Pete's old beast.

The new owner either works for the Aust' Defence Force, or is a serving member - I spotted it parked on base near work.

    • 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.
