sent application and paid money..

this time im coming with gate wide open....watch out Roman round 2 is on!!!!

ha ha, ITS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG

i'm gona bring spare tires, i'm near the tread wear indicators if i'm still rolling on 4stud

i may be rocking the R33 brakes and 5stud by then, if 5 stud i'll be stuck with R33 stockies :(

new wheels should arrive mid Nov

i will be bringing stockies just incase there is free time on the skidpan in the arvo :(

Howdy Guyz,

Hope everyone is well; I've been offline for a while working my azz off!

Looking forward to my 2nd DECA event as the first one in May was a hoot and I've developed some type of crazy motorkhana withdrawal symptom after the first dose! Is there such thing as a tarmac challenge red cone chemical inbalance? :(

FYI: DECA dollars already deposited and will be emailing my entry form tomorrow after I locate my CAMS passport thats floating around home somewhere!

Cheers

Ben

form sent via e-mail, and money sent as well :( . time to get my new tyres and brake pads and shift kit installed now.

shift kits are very worth while... TJ has had his trans built by RVO, i have had maintenance done by them, seem like a good bunch. My knox autos shift kit is great, but dont rate them as a workshop

yea ill be getting 4 spare tyres this time, ima use the same rears and finish them off and run re55 on the front....without ABS....

is 180sx ABS any good anyway?

AASA form:

Club_Racing_License_Application.pdf

i forgot to attach the other form so i sent another e-mail and this time attached both lol sorry about that.

yeah alot of people say the shift kit is worthwhile i also got a bigger trans cooler to go with it and some new defi gauges lol. ive been preparing for a while, i just got to get it all put on now. ive herd good things about RVO but they are on the other side of melbourne. luckily where i get my car worked on just around the corner is an auto tran shop that has fitted a few of these which is perfect.

entry list updated.

there are 2 names missing at the moment. this is because when they are converted to email the attachment is lost. i will have them tommorow so do not worry if you are not on there yet. (those sent between 9-930 wed morning)

sent the both in on the same fax, if not i have them in my office so i can re-send them you need...

money transfered and forms faxed. will get licence on the day

ppl. be prepared to watch a total noob make a fool of himself :dry:

There's generally lots of competition for that title, especially me this time. I'm coming with my daily, a CE Lancer with a few performance, but no handling mods.

I will be faxing my entry today.

ill take it this time hahahaha. never done anything like this and still not 100% used tot he power. oh well it will be fun though

Danes bringing the better car!! haha

Very funny Ryan..

Haha I knew you'd put something like that there Ryan...

Well I can't just throw RE55's with tread in the bin, even if they are 5 years old. They will get a DECA farewell, which is fitting as DECA was the place that ruined them in the first place! :mrt:

    • 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.
