Spotted Howie's 34 (pretty sure) in Boostworx today.

Also spotted a grey 33 4 door being dropped off.

I was there picking up the GTR after it's service + new brakes! Wow... these new brakes are actually amazing lol. I put the pedal down slightly and I nearly go through the windscreen! (that was a slight over-exaggeration)

Ah yours must've been the 32 without it's wheels on the ramp.. looked sweet buddy :P

Wonder did they get my intercooler on yet when you saw it?

Yep Howie, that would have been mine! Just had 4 new slotted rotors fitted + new pads!

Yeah your car was hoisted up and the new guy was working on fitting the intercooler (welding it and stuff)! New guy seems nice, knows his stuff, too! Had a bit of a chat with him.

I wonder if they'll ever move locations?! They're always full to the brim with cars jammed in that small workshop! And now there's 4 of them working!

Edit: Btw, Howie, your engine bay looks clean as!! I could just see it, but gee it looks clean lol.

Edited by CRoNic...
:D i droped a little dose next to your house 2day....who ever drives the monaro knew it was an rb i think... thaught i was u lol

Whoa, and to think not all that long ago I think it was Chef that banned that word, something to do with VL's and their drivers.

i pray that they do and get a better entry parking facilities and move closer to me :D

Spotted/Drove next to a White R34 GTR Heading up Unley Rd this evening (5:30), had Bronze TE37s (I think, never got a good look at the wheels still), a powerplay imports sticker on drivers side 1/4 window, and lowered slightly so guard sat level with the tyre.... BLOODY NICE RIDE! When I first saw the rear end I thought it was the chef, then realised that it didnt have the CF bonnet and younger driver.

I was wondering the same thing actually.. especially after seeing Wheelworx new joint in the city. They're packed out over at boostworx.

Thanks buddy :D Just had new silicone pipes through the engine bay over the weekend.

Oh forgot. I spotted a Red 33 with white Starcorps with the places "GTNLOOS" or something close to it pulled over on Findon Rd the other night. I think it was monday night.

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • 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)
