THAT is for not coming to the wash last night. Hahaha

Theres not many things > baskins meet but dream theater concert is one of them :)

Anyway John said he's thinking of doing a NA drift car.

With what money?

R31 + RB30e + spool + cut springs = NA drift car

Colin: yea whats the plan?

+1

and jason...

where the f*ck did you get to? We got to the car wash and you weren't there... I thought you were behind us. Did you bugger off and have a nautical adventure without us? :D

I was talking to geoff. Thanks for waiting sheesh. Turned around all gone :ban: . Then remembered couldn't remember how to get there, thought got my phone in the car all good :) In the car went f_ck ! no phone. Went home :P

My first suggestion was a 31 but he turned his nose up at it. I also suggest an LS1 S13 lol but I think thats out of the budget.

I loled at the GTR not being able to lose traction statement :D

GTR + sense of security + Mountain = GTR + Trees

lol pretty much.

oh in that case he probably couldnt break traction then

Yeah he's too used to the highways in Qatar :)

the go for the weekend is I'm moving in on Saturday hopefully be done between 4-5pm then we head down to the spit for some fish n chips and chill/talk shit. Depending on what happens one of my mates might be coming down n we're going to go to a few bars n have some drinks n have a mini celebration. You're all welcome to come out for some drinks with us as well but there isn't a lot of space to crash at my place lol.

lol i must say im used to driving fast in straight lines, but the adrenaline kicked in last nite, was a bit scared because brake pads are nearly done and car wasnt breaking well, so had to use gears to slow down alot, which is hard to do on mountain twisty roads uve never seen before, but yeh i didnt relly look at the speedo alot, but tops i wuld say i did was 145 , most of the time around 120 around the twisties,

i was praying to god during the entire thing, i was lke please its stock i wana mod it, please keep it in one peice, and it worked :D , dont really wana do it again though, would prefer going around a track or drag strip rather than mountain bullshit,

since i got the car the only track its been to is the sir fred schonell drive to sir fred schonell drive 1 KM two roundabout loop :)

hey mate,

yeh me and robert were jst havin a quick chat. everythin good, oh and yeh just did a mountain run now with a mate, i have f**kin goosebumps, i hate corners, but GTR handled pretty well, still kept TRACTION most of the time loool, look at the updated sig.

you hate corners?!?!?!

sell your gtr and buy a supra.

simple.

:)

GTR + sense of security + Mountain = GTR + Trees

agreed,

or as we saw recently :)

GTR + sense of security + Mountain - GTR + Chaser + Alcohol = Chaser + Trees + Fire = no chaser

I'm not even going to comment

if you're going to get into it mate - id recommend you learn the braking points - how/when to brake effectively etc etc

the last thing you want to do is fry your brakes and go off the side

At the track obviously

you miss me

You know it :)

Well if timings bad for everyone we can do it Sunday either way is easy for me. Could head down to Burleigh heads or something n have a bbq there instead of the spit? I'm easy on the time so tell me what works for you guys lol

    • 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.
