Soounds wrong? Dont think so.

Those performance challengers on the first car are 16 x 10 -5, mine are 10mm further in, and I have all metal flared guards. And making things harder is mine are 18's.

Car also has now been dropped a further half inch in the rear, and the fronts now have a 25mm bolt on, making them effectivly -25.

for the record, dinnerplates ftl, tough jap rims on a jap car ftw...

But as for Auto Salon, it only used to be like that... It is getting more and more about horsepower every single time... Final battle was a weekend of extremely exciting huge powered cars fighting it out over two days... that, and shit blowing off cars due to insane amounts of boost... 4 cars there (at least) hit over 900 horses, eventually, RH9, the 1000+hp R34 skyline won the event...

Also, our very own SAUNSW member Paul (Dirt Garage), owner of TWO-06L broke a world record for most power out of an R32GTR with low mount turbos... cracked 500kw :) It's also a true 9 second car, and Paul is a proud member of the RH9 club in Japan :( and it's for sale :D

so yeah... you can call Auto Salon rice if you want, but I don't think you've been in a while...

Dyno queens are in the same catagory as show ponies imo. Obviously I'm not saying that every single car at autosalon is a ricer but I can promise everything with huge chromies is... Probably not too many huge horsepower cars with dinnerplates on.

This thread is Hilarious..

So because i'm 20 years old and have a Car with leather interior and chromies makes me a drug dealer? Heck i got a R32 gtr aswell.. that must make me a drug son of rajab!

I admit i personally built my car for such things as Autosalon.. but i also have an 11 sec gunmetal r32 that has no signs of a bodykit, no chrome, and no leather... I guess i'm not much of a poser after all.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but i find it unnecessary to bag a person for what they like.

Care to share with the class how you personally pay for it?

who cares what he does, and its not up to him to tell everyone how he made his money

im 23 ( owned my car for 5 years spent a shitload on it) also have a mercedes ml430, own my own business and been investing since i was 16, people are amazed when someone young makes money, they think its sus.

a few of my mates are in the same boat, 1 in particular makes more money than his parents, good luck to him,

find another job if u want more money.

btw i got big chromies and i aint no ricer, when it comes to racing, i ditch the chromes for my MT's with r32gtr rims and run my 600rwhp car as it should

I used to operate a bodykit business a few years ago, operating through my bro's performance garage.

I hooked up with a few investors met a few people in the business and made contact with some suppliers in japan and china. Made copies in Dubai or china and imported them over and sold them at a higher price under the name of Xstream Aerokits, done so for 2 years until the market died out.

And also invested 5k of what i had when i was 12 to buy a house with my sister which sold last year for several times the purchased amount.

And easily tripled my money, plus the percentage of income i got from the rent. Aswell as a steady full time job.

Thats where the majority of my money came from..and yes it has done me well. is that legit enough for you??

if your going to build the car around the chromes, and make a showcar, then go for your life. not a fan, +1 for tough jap wheels. but each to their own.

my new wheels. not the best photo, but im going to wind my coils down a lil bit soon.

That looks awesome. I was going to do the same on mine but I'm too lasy to keep 'em clean so i think ill go either those or te37's in a darker colour, like bronze or something, possibly even black.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
