Dirty filthy flamin mongrels! Hopefully you get someone who witnessed it.

NOPE, guess people dont have eyes anymore ????, and it was parked out from the building in a area completely free of other cars, and just out of range of security cameras in the parking lot :blink: , (you try to park away from other cars to keep dents at bay only for this to happen) alarm went off, and it alerted me. came to the front of shop and it was too late, scumbags were gone.

stupid since the place was really busy , someone had to have witnessed it ....beach rd is just too busy for nobody to see or hear the alarm .

Friend of mine had the same thing happen to his 31 last week or so. Just goes to show the skum running around adelaide these days.

Spotted Grey/ Silver 31 Silo blazing around Blackwood last week & a Black 33 heading off waymouth street couple of days ago

My other car, a Aussie R31 had a tow bar ball put thru the front bar last year in a parking lot at the pub. a perfect hole in it of the ball and hitch,

and bounced off so many times the bumper is destroyed no paint, bent up to the sky and a few holes in it from others hitting it , have a new one off a wrecked car to put on it but its blue, not white..lol

ex is taking the car so its up to her to deal with it now

spotted a black r34 wingless........soz cant rmember the road

troy - i got my stock rear bumper still if ya wanna borrow it till u get urs fixed? 3500 is wayy to much

thanks Cara :down: I might take you up on that , 3500 was just the install labour,paint, bumper,tail light fiberglass piece. not including the steel bar under the bumper which another guy looked at , and its bent, not bad but bent still. he thought it might have been a trailer or a ute with crap hanging out that hit it, the imprint on the bumper looks like curragated metal of somesorts and punched a hole in it.

doubt I fix it stock, might just body kit it up instead????. just sucks, something else to fix that wasnt broken before. but at least its not as bad as that orange rolla, damn I would "insert threat here" the guy for doing that to my car.

Spotted my car getting owned in shopping center carpark :) I backed out of my angle park, got half way, woman in her Mazda 3 directly opposite me started backing out, so I stopped, she kept going, I put it in first and tried to get back in the park asap but didn't make it in time...most of it will rub off but now I got a nice little dent...

But on a lighter note, went to Exhaust Tech today and booked my car in, had a chat and saw a few nice cars, then went over to Wheelworx's new shop, had a look around, few nice cars there too.

bummer tom :)

car park accidents are usually 50 : 50 responsibility wise (unless she copped to being in the wrong, or you have witnesses in your favour).

hope it turns out well for u.

prolly not worth an insurance claim cos the excess would be moar than the repairs o_O

spotted a r33 having a drag with a commodore heading east on Grand Junction Rd at the NE rd lights last night, didn't see who won but the commo driver caught the r33 driver napping when the lights when green.....

later spotted a silver stagea trying to drag me on Park Tce North Adelaide

    • 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.
