I think all RB's are in the same place, there will be a big RB20/25/26/30 cast into the block near the front and on a little machined surface near the bellhousing low down on the passenger side the engine number is engraved.

So you always know that when a cop says to you "You've got an exhaust here" to which you reply the usual bemused "...yes?", and he says "well that's illegal", to which you reply "well it's quiet and not at all low, how can it possibly be illegal?" and you get the reply "well you tell me sonny!" that you're really in for one hell of a night...

Got done for:

Incorrect stearing wheel [Yes I spelled that right, and I'm pretty miffed about taking mechanical advice from somebody who can't spell steer]

Stearing fluid leak [Fluid, around steering fluid vesicle is often found in the middle of storms when you've driven through puddles, only it's called water, pretty standard mod nowdays]

Breakes *REPAIR* [Didn't get any insight onto what's wrong here either actually, pretty standard stock brakes that y'know... work 'n' all]

And all of that got me an off-road-order.

I'm just wondering, will they only check that list? Or do you get a whole vehicle inspection? I mean, that small list is easily fixed already, since most of it's bollocks, but do I have to go to the trouble of swapping back small mods to pass the pits?

They used a little bendy extender mirror to look at my engine number, I was thinking "sigh, here we go they're about to find out it's an RB30.." but they just notarised it and voila.. R32 GTS30t :D

lol! ditto

ur car can break dance, wikid.

yeah pits take a very brief look at what cops wrote, laugh with you at the fact that police dont know what they are on about, then they tell u whats really wrong with ur car. my advice- cans of degreaser.

    • 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)
