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? :)

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
