thanks to all that came down, i was lucky enough to be in a 34 gtr v spec for the cruise.

We raised over 2k, the money tin gets open tomorrow at red cross and i'll have an official receipt for everyone to see. We got so much donations we needed a tupperware container to take more donations, rest assured that I am a trustworthy person and will ensure all this money gets to Red Cross.

good work billy and all those involved,was there for the meet and it was a great turnout.dont forget all are welcome next week as well for a drive and barby

thanks

SLED, we are a bunch of kids that organised a cruise, from HT.

We have police officers who are members of our kids club, as well as a Justice of Peace (oh thats my bro).

We don't usually have charity cruises (just a few a month) so we don't look after money very well and get it to the right people (see letters of thanks from charity organisations thanking us for the money donated.)

This SAU vs HT shit is dumb, get over it. This is about people who have lost their homes, not what motor is under your nissans hood.

Our cruise is tomorrow at 2pm, starting at K-Mart car park, cops have been notified and official donation tins will be there.

Thanks.

Kids club.

:):D

update everyone!

meeting point will be harbor town car park 11am meet/ 12o'clock head off

the local paper will be attending the BBQ and taking to people and taking plenty of photos,a story will then run in the following wednesdays paper.photos can be obtained for a small fee.there will be an article in this weeks paper informing locals of the meet and inviting them down for the BBQ and to make a donation if they wish

i am now an authorised donations collector through the red cross,and have been supplied official collection tins,posters and a letter of authorisation if anyone wants to see it.everything is above board and i will be displaying my authorisation letter for everyones peace of mind.

maps will be supplied at the meet point,plenty of winding roads for those that like corners.we WONT be speeding as i like having my license back..

should be a fun day for all,we'll see you out there!

P.S mite have one more update in the next day or so..so keep an eye on this

thanks all

sounds good... im jumping behind this one... ppl now ive organised a few cruises in my time here and yeah will be very well organised! any ones invited however we do NOT want dickheads in (steriotyping here) "commys" boosting around etc etc... you all know what im on about, and its not on!

cheers

update everyone!

all people attending will receive a buy 1 get 1 free deal on coffees at gloria jeans in harbortown shopping centre,you need to come and get your map off me then show it in store to get your coffee deal,so if you have a passanger,they get a free coffee!

we have consent from centre management to use there carparks infront of the information centre (right in the middle of the carpark) behind maccas.

and also a story ran in the victor harbor paper today about our event!

so show your support,all welcome,will be a good day

thanks

look like you've done a lot of hard work for this rodney, we salute you.

Hope the event goes well, hassle free, and you get a bunch of cash for the fire victims

-D

if my car is regoed i be there, as long as petrol cost doesnt kill me :)

no guarantees

hopefully be as good as the ht/ns one

is police notified that this is for charity and not just driving to victor for the sake of it??

just don't inhale too much and you'll be ok

Pretty sure me and my mate will be going in my car. Gonna head down to the carwash late tonight (no sun, no people waiting, easy wash) and will hopefully see you guys there. Btw I'm driving a totally stock white 180SX with a catback exhaust (chunky as, brand 'Super Megafone' :P ).

    • 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)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
