Recommended Posts

what do you mean your tyres keep going flat..?

maybe it's time for new tyres or you should just pump them up a bit at the servo?

and how on earth did you rack up 2 million posts!?!?!?

I have a nail in one of my rear tyres.. waiting for the tyre man to order in new tyres so i can get them both changed... I do pump my tyre up like every 3 days! But i dont wanna drive around too much on it..

Hah friends in high places :P

Yeh Andrew, I'll meet u at Malaga Maccas. What did did you want 2 meet? Kelly, stop driving over nails!! Tyres dont like them. And high places hey? I dont know what that means either... EVERYONE IGNORE ME!! I'VE BEEN WORKING FROM 8AM TO 10PM!! (2 jobs...)

Hey everyone the map is written out, ill be printing a few out within the next couple days. I tried including a nice pictured map but my pc kept crashing while google maps was running. But the map is pretty straight forward.

If there are any questions let me know. I've heard of a few people that are coming that havent said on the site, im sure you all know too. Its shaping up very nicely.

Meh.. as long as everyone is well behaved it shouldn't be an issue.

I do strongly recommend people are on their best behaviour too, since police have announced zero tolerance for speeding, hooning and driving with distractions (on phone etc) for the easter weekend.

So lets make friday a "show n shine" style cruise.. relaxed, well behaved.. get some good photos (to be taken by passengers :teehee: )

I agree Steve, by the way pm me ur email or something and ill send you the map. Can you still print some out for city west people? If you cant its ok, cos they can still get one at South street.

Dude news flash. its Good Friday right? RIGHT! What open on good friday? Absolutely nothing ! Why? Cos thats the law. gee wizz even the casino is closed until mid-night. Its not going to be much of a show n shine. So maybe saturdays a better idea for the cruise? However on the other hand if anything it lowers road activity which would mean there would extremely less cars on the road. Cops would stick out like coc*? What ? something to think about mellow jellow mate.

Yeh I know, But too many people said they werent available saturday. Casino opens at 10pm, if anything well get a nice smooth run with very good photo oportunities. Its not like it will be a complete ghost town, some of the cruise is in daylight remember. Even if it is at least theres all these sic cars cruising. Only thing to mention is food on second stop wont be available maybe..

im easy a cruise is a cruise, and as long as im drinving next to heaps of other cars its all good, yeh its sic when heaps of people watch, but it doesnt make then cruise a disaster if know ones around, think of the cruises inland and stuff there still awesome

Let me know what you all think anyway its not too late to change the date if I get a lot of numbers telling me to...

damn this is a HOT HOT MAP, unfortunatly its on my birthday.. woulda LOVED to come plus dont realy need another stiker n its been hard avoiding the priks lately..

Lol this guy.. come bro is only a yellow sticker. Is not the end of the world :/

Not everything is closed, Maccas is still open. I know cos I'm usually working on Good Fridays. The only day Maccas is closed is Xmas, and even then only some of them are. Feel sorry for everyone who works on Xmas!

nah the date is the same, no need for confusion. Oh yes.. we will cruise..

    • 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.
