meeting at rooftop of doncaster shopping town. route i dunno but im sure we can figure it out

* Freeway to Ferntree Gully Rd (Bout the same but avoids knox tmu)

Your kidding yourself, Knox tmu are not just at KNOX itself...

Ferntree gully rd is regularly patrolled by a good friend of all of ours from the knox tmu.

especially at the base of the mountain around the pool room and ferntree gully hotel.

You have posted meet points and the route you will be taking...

so don't be surprised if they intercept you somewhere along the way.

From my experience in planning cruises, shopping center car parks are a bad idea.

Especially on a saturday night.

Tours.

ive just discovered this thread, (im a bit slow)

sounds like there is fun to be had. put me down as a maybe for now, gotta check that there is nothing else planed for me...

it would be nice to get the gtr out, as i only picked it up last week!

Basti - only in your dreams :)

And all I meant tours is that i avoids that piece of road in between Knox Police Station and Knox City which is probably the main part we would all want to avoid.

In the end its the organisers decision. I was just posting some options up as he was asking for suggestions.

Looking at Maps a bit more there is another route which isnt too complicated.

* Station St to Canterbury Rd (Left)

* Canterbury can be follow all the way there where we can turn right to get directly onto Mt Dandenong Rd.

OR

* From Canterbury Rd you can turn Right onto Dorset Rd.

* From Dorset Rd you can turn Left onto Burwood Hwy then take the Mt Dandenong Tourist Rd to the top.

Depending on which Rd you want to take up.

** Mt Dandenong Rd **

- Narrow Rd

- Very little lighting

- No guardrails

- Twisties

** Mt Dandenong Tourist Rd **

- Wider Rd

- Good Lighting

- More Traffic

- Some guardrails

- Not so twistie

So plan your route. We could go up one and down the other. Either way. Personally I dont like Mt Dandenong Rd due to a bad experience in the past, but either way. Organisers choice.

    • 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)
