Saw you guys there, spoke with a couple of yas as well, good to meet yas!

The show wasnt too bad, its a shame that we didnt get more of the best performance cars we have in WA but you get that, there was a heap of Commodores at this show, and typical of Fords not showing there stuff, i own a ford and know first hand how hard it is to get them to even go on a cruise, and there was a lack of buisness support and trade stands i thought they would be all over it, they must all be making too much money to bother advertising at a show!

The ute club won best club display and some individual awards so we were stoked, did yas manage to get round and have a look at it?

i was hoping to see more Skylines there to have a look at some performance gear for mine but the ones there had their bonnets closed all day Saturday so didnt get to see anything really, shame, there were some nice examples.

ill catch yas out on a cruise sometime soon,

i dont know how the show could have been called street and race as more then half the cars there were brought in on trailers and stuff. it was not a show for performance but for old men to show they have collector cars that see the outside world once a year

Due to attention towards modified cars by local police do you blame them for trailing cars too n from the show ???

34s n commodores were evn numbers :P

34s n commodores were evn numbers >_<

there were 6 34s there i think there were more holdens and fords then that... and u can get permits to drive cars to and from shows so that ure car is not yellowed for not being street legal... they just never actually drive those cars, it was called street and race i doubt half the cars there actually touch bitumen. if you had a look at thre wheels u would agree... believe me being there 4 3days i was looking at the cars closely most are just show cars nothing street n race bout them

No i wouldnt agree as if they were like me they use different wheels for static displays ( i use so easy on the tread for the new clean tyre look ) I seen plenty of cars that have had seen track time or were just about ready tooo ..

What car was yours in the display ???

This bunky below is alll show >_<

all of our utes in our display are daily driven cars except one that is still unregistered but enters into burnout comps, ill agree that there was a huge amount of Commodores, but we all got the same invite and chance to enter and if there is one thing ive come to find about Ford owners is that they suck at being sociable, there were a couple of race cars that actualy race and some exotic cars that get driven, the Lambo came in on a set of wheels showing wear but was then fitted with a set of wheels from Tech9Tyres for the show, other cars showing up on trucks and trailers were collectables, they are an investment for some people we should be happy that they show up to shows at all considering their value.

my gripe of the show is more about the fact that more than half the cars there were un-maned and closed up whilst people payed good money to have a look at them and all they got to see was what they would see when its parked in a car park. On saturday when i was there, i never saw once any of the skylines parked across the back with the doors or windows or at the very least a bonnet open to show, i kept walking past but nothing, i was very keen to look at and talk about the mods i can do to my new daily R33 but got nothing really, spoke with a couple of guys there but that was it, the Silvias up from them had a members tent and everything yet their cars had bonets down and the only reason a window was open was because the drift race cars had them down!!

so how can it be called a show when some cars were just there for the secure parking for the weekend!

^^ from what i've heard on top being alot of hot cars, there were alot of shitters there, not many awesome to the max 5k s13's with their ca18's will have their engine bays on display..

My car was open and we turned around to find some guy sitting in it touching gauges n performance box , WA perf had some clown open the door in sit in the VE GTS :P so can you blame people for keeping shit closed ??

I was with my car most of the time and had some people asks questions ..

you only bought those brakes so it looked good whilst it spent its life in shows, didn't you bart?

why else would you put project mu's on a pintara...

We had some guys go through and try and open everyones doors. Even had one guy leaning on my car while he watched the RC Drift cars, I was so f**king pissed. Set the alarm off and he moved along :D

Gonz, our cars werent the best under the bonnet. All but mine (Silver R33 with white wheels) and Sam's car (SLYDR) had standard turbo, but mine is only highflowed and Sams engine has leaks everywhere. Basically, they arent that special beneith the bonnet unlike all the AntiLag cars. This way, we leave everyone is suspense.

You should have asked us to pop the bonnets for you. I'd be more then happy to show it off every now and then. Btw, I was the guy explaining about the coilpacks and sparkplugs.

Yes it was best 4k i ever spent :D

Mine normally looks like this :(

yeh i did have a look at your beast, and the other cars next to yours, was a good display!!!

i didnt hear of any type of issues like people getting into cars, but yeh, that would piss me off too i spose, we always had atleast one person stay with the utes at all times to answer any questions and keep an eye out.

gday mate, yeh even a stock engine bay can look great with abit of elbow grease and silicon spray, your cars looked great so an open bonnet would have toped it off nicely, it still leaves the imagination run wild to the on lookers!!

    • 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.
