I spotted you today at the bay aswell as SLY. :bunny: cars looking good. XD9's ftw

:cool: were you wandering around, or where you driving? :D Thanks! :)

Did you spot me getting pulled over by that traffic cop on Jetty Rd? :) Luckily I just ended up having a laugh with him before he sent me on my way (he was really cool actually, just pointed out a few things to me, and said "if I want to drive such a beautiful car on the road, I should..." etc...). Was a real champ actually. 'SLY' drove past while it was all happening and gave me a pitiful smile! I was sooooooo scared! Eep!

I was walking down, just had grabbed a yiros from Sovlaki bros :).

Naaa, didn't see you get spoken to by that traffic cop.

I have hurt my hand at work and its in a cast so I can't drive at the moment othrerwise I would definatly been out amongust it boosting around, lovely weather today

spotted a white 34 and red stag parked together at bp west tce last nite, drove out past yas with my mate behind me

werent hard to miss - 2 patrols with spotties on the roof, one clean, one dirty LOL

spotted at the mildura drag strip a white r33

a black r32 being an absolute numb nut on the DRAG strip...........its not for drifting you goose get it right :) stupid thing to do especially when your have another car in other lane NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL

at the sunraysia sun assist car show another white r33, a blue r32 and a black r33 i think it was.

Spotted a Yellow R34 with the weird tall looking spoiler drive past the front of work at noarlunga. Spotted a nice looking yellow r34 in the noarlunga maccas carpark at about 2:30, also spotted a blue R33 drive past the front of work at noarlunga. Then heard/spotted a black or grey R32 going along south road out the back of my place at Aldinga...was about 4:30-5pm.

i kinda wish you hadn't said it was tiffins now some bastard is gona come steal it lol. what were you there for, the doctors function? cos i was teh guy that make you food.

yeah was there for the GP function...nice food btw :)

Spotted, yesterday some dude in a white 33 at South Road BP who let the BOV rip in front of me and screeched off down south road when he was finished pumping his tyres up. Also a white 33 with led's in a rush behind me going down mawson lakes, had to let it rip past me in a 50km/h zone. Real heros... obviously both with something to prove. They oughta watch the roads not my car.

Also forgot yesterday i was parked next to a silver V35 four door, black R34 four door and a R31 at Elizabeth shops. And a Black 33 with black rims and red lip, blitz sticker on drivers door and stealth wing turning up Northeast Rd near Maccas.

forgot spotted what appeared to be sleds old ride at mt lofty fri night. how you could sell such a fine automobil is beyond me

and also near town white r35 parked with a van reverse parralel parking next to him :) lolz hope that went well for ya mate

Spotted a white VY boosting past me on greenhill road yeterday. Could hear spool and flutter behind me, was looking around not being able to see any imports and this VY comes flying past me! Biggest WTF look was had by me!! :ninja:

just thought id add that I did see MissR34's car at the local car show loool, all the decent skylines were in hiding, cara hope you didnt go n have to listen to leigh and simone talk shit about their driving capabilities!

didnt bother going to the strip, twas only a ladies day haha :)

    • 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.
