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::)

    • 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.
