Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend someone who does cheap roadworthy certificates, Don't give me numbers for people who will fail me because there is some oil around the rocker cover (like the last fkwit) The car is 10 years old ofcourse its going to have some oil there. Anyways enough of my rant, prefabbly SE QLD and if they are mobile even better if not thats ok 2 :P

Thanks Gs.

Not bagging you or anything, why not just use some degreaser and clean the oil around the rocker covers? I just did it 2 days ago, pulled of a lot of old oil. Funny when I bought the car tho it got a road worthy and it was all still there. And if it indeed is not leaking, it should stay clean for a while. :P

Sorry I can't suggest anyone however I am also interested in recommendations.

Ok I need to explain my self, I think I may have give of the wrong impression with this topic.

When I said Cheap I litrelly meant, I want someone who does it cheap. My car is in fairly good condition, its not the problem. I just want someone who will do it really really really cheap lol.

dude pretty sure the going rate for a roady is around $50

unless ur trying to say u want a dodgy roady,

in which case i highly doubt anyone would share their contacts on a public forum, to someone they havent met...

Yeah going rate is more like $70 and a Phoneworthy is about $100.....no-one is going to give you a safety certificate for peanuts especially as it sounds like the car won't pass either.

Oh FFS I said that the car isn't crap or dodgey, doesnt anyone read before posting and I've already gotten the Roadworthy first time around for $75.

I bet I could find 3+ items to fail it on, most cars over 5 years always have 'something' that makes them unroadworthy :laugh:

And if you already got one, why would you create a post about getting a RWC, go back to the original guy who already charged you a very reasonable rate.

I went a day after I started this post. And there was nothing to fail, I even asked him to check everything.

Just call some of the mobile guys and be straight up with them, tell them u want the RWC for re registration and that you dont wana pay twice.

Every mobile guy ive used comes out to your place, looks at the outside of the car for 5 secs then writes up the cert and they normally charge about $100.

That's it end of topic! :teehee:

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      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)
