Sparks are the easiest job on a GTR! Lol

i fear tiny bolts and shit...

flanges with 30mm bolts, yes. 5mm hex heads, are scary. screws get rounded and shit, that'll cause pain...

and sam, alright, i'll bring some new ones then.. lend me thy tools! and i need to get some of my own tools too.

yeah its really easy, just got to disconnect ignitor and unplug one of the tubes over the top.. undo the cover.. 6-7 big bolts holding coilpacks down.. pull them out and they make suction noise *thomp* :nyaanyaa:

Getting the cover off with the hex bolts car be a bitch if the previous owner / mechanic was a douche and did em up to tight.

Agreed, my old 33 was like this, spent quite a time trying to get 3 or 4 off it at GOR cruise.

I'd rather buy a bike what can 4-7k buy you for the car a kit and some rims? :domokun:

Maturity kickin' in yo - shouldn't do the gtr up >_<

Just a bit of a personal question - you guys/gals that are 25 ish renting or got a house? or still living at home? and to add those that do have a house what age were you when you moved in and was it with a gf / wife / a Mohsen?

I'm still living at home myself but thinking of just saving in the next few years for a deposit, have 25k of commonwealth bank shares atm so it would help with the initial saving

Get in the property market asap. Aint going to get any cheaper in the future.

Find yourself a secure job and go to Mortgage Choice to discuss your options. If you want a $300-$400k property you would need about $30,000 - $50,000 deposit upfront. You can either wait to save another $25k, or ask parents to "gift" you the remaining amount for deposit. By law gift means no payback and hence banks wont consider it as an additional loan to the homeloan. Just pay back your parents ontop of the loan repayment

    • 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)
