i think i saw your car today sly33 ... did you park ur car in a car park in rundle street today?? i think i saw u come out ... i think thats one of the cleanest ones i've seen ... top paint job  ;)  .. then i saw this kinda lemon lime sorta colour r33 with a weird kinda kit... i couldn't tell what it was ... reminded me of those old fords ... but it had a nice lemon lime kinda paint jobs  :) .. this was all after the cruise today were i spotted everyone LOL  :)

hi hip! yeah i parked in the u park just down from bourngiornos. Ive since thrown in the new bilsteins and even lower kings. It looks tuffer now!

i saw that 33 in the new ford "citric acid" fluro yellow color. It has Vic plates on it, and the owner chose to give me the stinkeye one saturday night while cruising, maybe coz he didnt have the best skyline :) He was cruising with another 33, a burgandy one with a carbon bonnet with Vic plates too, which also gave me the stinkeye! haha

my cars currently getting tuned with the new dump and z32 AFM, if you want a closer look hip we can meet sometime next week.

LOL ...  

sly  .. would love to see it next time on a cruise or something  :P ... best lookin 33 i've seen ... well arguably the best .. debateable between u and whatisname and steve  LOL  :D

Hip,

Funny you should mention Steve, Al (SLY33) & me, 'cause I've just recently had a closer look at Steve's beast, & I drove past Al's shiny new orange machine at Mile End Autobarn CP only the other day :)

I'd give 1st place to Al hands down. Very impressive looking car with a stand out paint job, wheels, & list of performance mods (growing each day it seems :D )!

2nd to Steve. Well over 300rwkw, nice bodykit & interior, plus the engine bay looks awesome!

I'll take 3rd for now :D

Thanks for the kind words Hiep and Mat, I was actually hoping to get a closer look at your engine bay there Mat, to get some tidy up tips for mine:D I still have a long way to go I think to win any awards. Grepins engine bay is looking very nice these days too (tidier than mine, but he needs to give it a dust), but I think it will take along time before anyone takes the award from Mat if the photos are anything to go by.

I dont plan on running the car, not really interested, maybe one day to see what it does, but for now I am still not happy with it, just a couple of things that need sorting, like FMIC to plenum pipe, then some decent rubber with grip, stronger wastegate spring, etc etc... it never ends:)

MattR, what is happening with you? When are you getting a new 'line?

Steve, likewise mate, thanks for the kind words ;) Yes Greg's engine bay is looking very impressive after his latest round of mods. Not to mention the performance!

You'll have to drop round sometime mate, we can continue our brief chat from the other night. Sorry I didn't get a chance to drop in again :) Didn't think you'd like me coming over again @ 1am!

You've got to run the car at AIR Steve. It doesn't have to be the 4 6 & Rotary Nat's, just head down on a regular street meet. Wednesday night meets are more Import orientated (less grip though). You'll have a ball & end up hooked like Greg :D Just take the plates off if you're concerned.

Has anybody seen the white R32 with a personalised plate "NUTS"

I would like the dudes phone number if anyone has it.

I liike FLYLICE

dont have his number, but he possibly works at roccas (super cheap) darlington.....

Thanks Matt, but no one can beat your engine bay! Thats show quality detail!

I had a guy come up to me while cruising rundle tonight "Hey buddy, i seen you cruising around here and there, but tell me, what is FLYLICE? what does it mean?!"

haha. on telling him "ahhh.... AHHH!"

BTW does anyone here not know what my plates mean? :)

    • 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)
    • 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.
