Ahaha were you at fiddles?

Thanks for a great day guys. Thoroughly enjoyed my first SAU event. Cant wait for the next one.

Well done to everyone who took pics also, good stuff!

Hey mate, your car is the sex :rofl: didn't get a chance to say hi, but next time for sure :D

I would love a DVD too Terry :)

It was a very good cruise, still spewing that my car wouldn't kick over after a damn wheel alignment... :rofl:

just my kind of luck I spose :D

That's twice you've said that Steve - so you must be spewing!

Can't say that I want to do that with you!

Yeh, PM me your address for the dvd to be sent! :D

Thanks for introducing yourself - it meant a pleasant outing for me and Craig (brother-in-law)

haha... the worst part is that the car is only about a kilometer away, but locked in a workshop til tomorrow morning. My tuner called me up before and told me to try and turn it over cause he thinks it will fire now that it's been out of the rain long enough... BUT I CAN'T! :D

oh well, it happens :D

Not a problem, it was great to meet you and Craig. There were a few people that I wanted to introduce myself to, I knew there were some new club members coming along and I thought it would make it easier for everyone :) Didn't quite get around to meeting everyone I wanted though.

PM sent

There was a silver R33 GTST following the black supra for the first section, it has yellow/faded headlights. PM me if you want them cleaned, for free

That was me following you - the lights started out bright and clean and by the halfway house were faded over it is amazing what Supra's can do to you.

This was yet another well organised SAU event and all those attending were well behaved. I was pleased by how law abiding everyone was with no speeding on any of the straight stretches of road.

There are some good pictures posted up.

had a great day. it was my first time on putty rd and will not be the last.

was good to meet you terry, i was sitting next to you at lunch with Priscilla.

Thank you all for coming and thank you all for behaving yourselves brilliantly. That was one of the nicest SAU events ever. Sorry I was a bit hung over in the morning and didn't really go around introducing myself very much.

My fav pic of the day was teh 31 under teh tree. I'll check my camera now.

Hiya john,

Yes, Craig and I had a great time at lunch with you both.

We commented later on, how amiable Priscilla is and how you seem to suit each other! :P AW SHUCKS in advance lolz

Also notice in your post that you spell Priscilla with a capital "P" and your name with a little "j".

Is that because she's put you in your place already??? lolz :(

Yes 3 dvds have already gone out, so I'll look forward to your PM (with address incl.) or anyone else that was there on the day.

I went to the Official SAU ENVY Dyno Day, and I got a dvd of my R34 with the Australian R32, my son's R33 and the Haltech R35.

It was a photoshoot. And I'll include that dvd too since it's under the SAU banner.

Cheers,

Terry :)

It was a good cruise and a great day. It was nice to see everyone so well behaved. Putty's gotten a whole bunch smoother since I drove it last, too.

You should have seen the guys standing out front of the Ford dealership as about a half a dozen Skylines rolled by. Unsurprisingly, no-one at the Nissan across the road bothered coming out for a look. I'm sure they're still pretending the R33 and R34 didn't exist or something.

Mind you, I was right at the end of the line for food thanks to the unplanned detour some of us made. Next time, we should call ahead and tell the pub to staff up. :-)

It was good to meet some new faces, as well as catching up with some guys I hadn't seen in a while.

BTW, I know people asked for media coverage. I'm going to try and write something for the motoring blog I write for, and see if it gets published. Unfortunately, I didn't get too many shots so if people want to donate some photos for the article I'd appreciate it.

If anyone is willing to do so, can you PM them to me or send them to alan @ the motor report .com.au (no spaces).

Yes, I did see 2 Ford Salesmen out the front geeking at all those terrific looking throaty cars.

They even dressed up for the occasion with white collared shirts and ties - appropriate dress for an outstanding display of machinery!

:thumbsup::)

    • 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)
